PBIFF 2012: Sunday April 15, 9pm - Shorts package
The Endless by Rusty Sheridan - "The Endless" is a short film noir which follows Victor, a jaded voyeur who travels the streets of an unnamed city over the course of a night observing the silent choas and destruction that has swallowed it. In the midst of a torrential downpour, he witnesses the decay of a civilization that permeate every dark and dangerous crevice in the city. As Victor navigates his way through these bleak vignettes, he is faced with the question of if there is any hope or purpose in existing at all.//Undertow by Diede In't Veld - More than anything else in the world, thirty-eight year old Maud wants a child of her own. It is such an overwhelmingly strong feeling that it takes over every aspect of her existence. To get her life back into perspective and to help her confront her grief, she forces herself to watch happy families picking up their kids from school. On her way home she feels a little better and starts flirting with a man on a bicycle who is waiting at the other side of an open canal bridge. But as the bridge closes, she suddenly sees his little boy sitting in the child seat of his bike. As they pass each other on the bridge they exchange looks; his exploring, hers confused. At that precise moment a speeding car ploughs into his bike throwing the little boy out of the child seat and into the murky waters of the canal. Maud is in shock but realizes the child is in the water and jumps after him. In a physical and emotional struggle under water Maud desperately tries to save the little boy until she realizes she has no choice but to let go of him along with her deep desire for a child of her own. In the street, everything has gone back to normal again. The only thing that remains of the accident is the wreckage of the broken bike -without its child seat.//Sudd by Erik Rosenlund -A woman on her way home becomes a victim of a strange infection. She soon realizes that an epidemic is spreading and there are larger forces at work. While struggling to find a cure she also discovers that desperate times require hard choices. //The Escape by Alex Forstenhausler - Jerry puts into action the most daring escape ever attempted in the history of Sunnyside Nursing Home. //Scenen by Hans Montelius - A director and playwright battles his inner demons of jealousy as he tries to write a play for his girlfriend and his brother, but as the writing and rehearsals progress the demons take over.
