Shorts Program 1
Four short films about getting around from bike to train to cab to car these films highlight our love for, and our reliance on, our vehicles.
Lada
Russia, 2013, 18 minutes
Director: Dieter Deswarte
A movie about an iconic vehicle and its last remaining drivers, Lada takes you on a Russian journey exploring people's affinity to a vehicle that is considered one of the worst in the world. A humorous and intimate film told from behind the steering wheel. Lada was made as part of the Russian Filmmaking Experience "Cinetrain" where seven filmmakers embarked on a journey through Russia each making their own film about a different Russian stereotype. Lada was shot in different cars while travelling from Murmansk to Siberia.
Wallas on Velos
Belgium, India, 2014, 22 minutes
Director: Alton Valadares
Wild rides down busy streets: with a bike in Bombay, anyone can make a living. The city is poor; people impoverished yet these wallas ply their trades earning what they can to sustain life. Precarious as it looks, their services are vital threads in the fabric of their city's daily life. Stunning photography of Mumbai and its surroundings.
F-Line
USA, 2014, 9 minutes
Director: Silvia Turchin
The F-line train is an old abandoned wreck. All trains here are in various stages of decay, rust, and dismemberment; havens for strays, reservoir of parts. Does this train come to life every night in the junkyard or is it just dreaming of the past? Using one route as focus, images of old routes dance in color and sound. This is a playful exploration of the trolley car graveyard.
Cab City
USA, 2014, 22 minutes
Director: Rachel de Leon
It's the beginning of Uber, Lyft & Sidecar: new transportation choices that compete directly with San Francisco's 7,000 cab drivers. In typical speed-of-light geek endeavors, these services are far ahead of regulators. Most established cabbies are gripped in fear for their livelihoods. The "new tech" drivers love it. It's an income stream based on market opportunities from curbside up not regulators management of labor pool and fares. Couldn't be more topical as we sort through changing ways.
