AFF 2020 Shorts Programs
Shorts Program 1: Coming Home
Whether leaving, staying, returning, lending, or coveting the ideal home, the foundation of these stories digs into the deeper feelings aroused in us when our sense of security shifts.
Shorts Program 2: Lost In Translation
One missed signal or misspoken word can detonate a relationship or ignite a crisis that propels us into life and death situations. In these trying tales, connections go haywire and jeopardy lurks around every corner.
Shorts Program 3: The Social Network
Technology giveth and taketh away: As social media becomes the new religion and people become more connected through miraculous new machines, individuals become infected by a plague of problems when this Tower of Cyber-babble falls.
Shorts Program 4: There's No Business Like Show Business
Hollywood in the Modern Era produces a lot to laugh about in these scathing satires that expose the bad behavior rampant in this crazy business of filmmaking, deal breaking, and real faking.
Documentary Shorts: Rebel With A Cause
Crossing barriers and defying stereotypes are the requisites for these unlikely activists who strive to align their beliefs with their actions. Even when risking life, limb or reputation, they remain defiant.
Student Shorts: An Education
Diverse themes come together in this learning fest that explores the human spirit. Film students test their mettle in the school of life with everything from love and loss to politics and religion, to parenting problems and teenage turmoil.
Local Shorts: Out Of Maryland
