Upstream (w/ Destination Day)

Upstream

aka Alles Stroomt, Netherlands (Dutch with English subtitles)
Director: Danyael Sugawara
A terrific drama from the Netherlands that explores a relationship between a mother and her son after his high school graduation. As he struggles to assert his independence, he struggles with how to be an adult. Simultaneously, his mother's new relationship with a barge skipper leads her further away from her own son. Used to relying on one another, each struggles to adjust to the changes they must face without their support network of one another. As good a family drama as you will see, superbly acted and perfectly paced.

Destination Day

Director: Chris Lassig, Australia, 7 min.
A man uses a tool of the future to try and recapture a perfect moment in his life. But can perfection overcome the laws of nature and the space/time continuum? A smart, subtle look at how even the purest of actions can have unintended consequences.
