This year's shorts program is anchored by three longer shorts and supported by an eclectic mix of music videos that run the gamut from hardcore punk to dance to indie rock and everything in between. The centerpiece film is the world premiere of "Music By The Pound" about Crown Records, the early home of BB King, Etta James, and Vic Damone among others.

Rio Walta - Through My Street
A couple of workers get ready for the usual routine. He fills a sandwich while she sings a song in front of the TV. But, once they arrive to their job site, their working day turns into an unexpected artistic event. A hypnotic combination of the kind of social realism straight out of
Mike Leighs films and a beautiful excavator choreography with just a pinch of karaoke. Piet Baumgartner successfully and fluently translates from the human to the mechanical. Through My Street is a picture jittering with emotions you just cant look away from.
