THE 54
(De 54)
 

Philip Hering | Netherlands | 2010 | 14 minutes
*Filmmaker In Attendance*

In the squeeze of the metro, a disturbing scene unfolds before Eve's eyes: a man appears to be taking a young girl somewhere against her will. Should Eve go with her gut or just go? A dilemma of what is seen and what it seems.


MISTRESS
(Geliebte)
 

IJ Bierman | Germany | 2010 | 6 minutes 

For more than ten years his Wednesday afternoons have belonged to her. But, this Wednesday everything changes between a mistress and her lover.


I WON'T BE HERE TOMORROW

Thirty-year-old Marta is tired of living with her invasive mother and tries to break free of their toxic relationship any way she can.

   

VIA GORI
 

George Barbakadze | Georgia, Australia | 2010
13 minutes 

When Russian planes begin to bomb the Georgian town of Gori, a Russian woman and her daugther must travel undetected on a minibus filled with Georgian evacuees. Will mother and child pass unnoticed or be discovered as enemy imposters?


WITHOUT COUNTRY
(Sin País)
 

Theo Rigby | USA, Guatemala | 2010 | 20 minutes

Nearly twenty years ago, Sam and Elida Mejia escaped civil war in Guatemala to the U.S. Two years ago, immigration agents stormed their home and threatened them with deportation. A touching and tragic portrait of a family fighting to stay together, no matter what.
