2014 Sundance Film Festival Short Film Tour 2014 Sundance Film Festival Short Film Tour Showcasing a wide variety of story and style, the Sundance Film Festival Short Film Tour is a 94- minute theatrical program of eight short films from the 2014 edition of the January Festival, which over the course of its 30-year history has been widely considered the premier showcase for short films and the launchpad for careers of many now-prominent independent filmmakers. With both fiction and documentary, the diverse 2014 program ranges from beautiful insight and the struggle to understand the meaning of life to a hilarious, all-too familiar government deposition. Afronauts Written and directed by Frances Bodomo. USA, 12 minutes. It's July 16, 1969: America is preparing to launch Apollo 11. Thousands of kilometers away, a group of Zambian exiles are trying to beat America to the moon. The Cut Short Film Jury Award: International Fiction Written and directed by Geneviève Dulude-Decelles. Canada, 15 minutes. The Cut tells the story of a father and a daughter, whose relationship fluctuates between proximity and detachment, at the moment of a haircut. Dawn Directed by Rose McGowan, Written by M.A. Fortin, Joshua John Miller. USA, 17 minutes. Dawn is a quiet young teenager who longs for something or someone to free her from her sheltered life. I Think This Is the Closest to How the Footage Looked Short Film Jury Award: Non-fiction Directed by Yuval Hameiri, Co-Director: Michal Vaknin. Israel, 9 minutes. A man with poor means recreates a lost memory of the last day with his mom. Objects come to life in a desperate struggle to produce a single moment that is gone. I'm a Mitzvah Directed by Ben Berman, Written by Ben Berman, Josh Cohen. USA, 19 minutes. A young American man spends one last night with his deceased friend while stranded in rural Mexico. Love. Love. Love. Short Film Special Jury Award: Non-fiction Directed by Sandhya Daisy Sundaram. Russia, 12 minutes. Every year, through the endless winters, her love takes new shapes and forms. MeTube: August Sings Carmen “Habanera” Written and directed by Daniel Moshel. Austria, 5 minutes. George Bizet`s "Habanera" from Carmen has been reinterpreted and enhanced with electronic sounds for MeTube, a homage to thousands of ambitious YouTube users and video bloggers, and gifted and less gifted self-promoters on the Internet. Verbatim Directed by Brett Weiner, Screenwriter: Court Document. USA, 7 minutes. A jaded lawyer wastes an afternoon trying to figure out if a dim-witted government employee has ever used a photocopier. All the dialogue in this short comes from an actual deposition filed with the Supreme Court of Ohio. Full program = 94 minutes www.sundance.org/shortfilmtour DIRECTOR BIOS AFRONAUTS than 20 festivals, including Telluride and SXSW.

Upon her return, Dulude-De Celles wrote and directed the short film THE CUT. DAWN: Rose McGowan was born in Italy and raised on a steady diet of pasta, European cinema, and classic films. Along with her cinephile father, she became an amateur film historian, later hosting a show on a classic movie channel. Seeing Lawrence of Arabia restored on 70mm was the high point of her 14th year.

ABOUT The Sundance Film Festival shorts program Each year the Sundance Film Festival has over 8,000 short films submitted and selects between 60-80 to show in the Festival. Choosing a 90-minute selection from the Festival program, the Sundance Film Festival Short Film Tour travels across the US to art house theaters. A staple of the Festival since its start, a wide variety of emerging talent got their start in the short film format, including filmmakers Wes Anderson, Todd Haynes, Spike Jonze, Paul Thomas Anderson, Sophie Barthes, David O. Russell, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Tamara Jenkins, Jamie Babbit, Tim Blake Nelson, Alexander Payne, Andrea Arnold, Jason Reitman, and many others. The 2013 program played in 54 cities and 28 states in 2013 and early 2014, which amounts to a strong list of some of the best local art houses across the US today. A part of the box office proceeds is split among the filmmakers. In the 2014 Festival, five directors in the US Dramatic Feature Competition were previously in the short film program at Sundance: Fishing Without Nets – directed by Cutter Hodierne, who won the Short Film Jury Prize in 2012 with his short version of the story. Hellion – directed by Kat Candler, based on her short film of the same name from Sundance 2012. Jamie Marks Is Dead – directed by Carter Smith, who won the Short Film Jury Prize in 2006 with his short Bugcrush. Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter – directed by David Zellner, who had six shorts at Sundance made by himself and his brother Nathan. Whiplash – directed by Damian Chazelle, who won the Short Film Jury Award for US Fiction in 2013 with his short version of the story. Fueled by artistic expression and limited only by their runtime, short films transcend traditional storytelling. They are a significant and popular way artists can connect with audiences. From documentary to animation, narrative to experimental, the abbreviated form is no longer just for the novice. Shorts have and will continue to be an important part of cinema, storytelling, and culture. The Sundance Film Festival has always been proud to treat short films with the highest regard and to give a home to new (and old) projects for audiences to discover and celebrate. .

"Their comedic and authentic approach to their disparities as a new family will make audiences fall in love with the growing and heartfelt appreciation for each other and for the all-embracing blended family they are now a part of."

  • Vince Giordano—There's a Future in the Past a Documentary by Dave
    Vince Giordano—There’s a Future in the Past a documentary by Dave Davidson and Amber Edwards Hudson West Productions 90 minutes | United States | English Language Log Lines and Synopses 50 WORDS For nearly 40 years, bandleader and preservationist Vince Giordano has kept alive the music of the 1920s and ‘30s, with his 11-member band The Nighthawks, and his collection of vintage instruments, arrangements, and recordings. What does it take to keep this Jazz Age enterprise going in the 21st century? 50 WORDS ALT Vince Giordano is responsible for the period music in Todd Haynes’ “Carol”, Martin Scorsese’s “The Aviator”, Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Cotton Club”, half-a-dozen Woody Allen films, and HBO’s Grammy-winning series “Boardwalk Empire.” Meet the eccentric musician who keeps the past alive with an 11-piece big band and more than 60,000 arrangements. 125 WORDS A feature-length documentary about musician, scholar and bandleader Vince Giordano who, with his 11-member band The Nighthawks, has doggedly kept alive the music of the 1920s and '30s for the past forty years. Through Vince’s story, audiences are immersed in the Hot Jazz and Swing music that fueled Prohibition high-jinx and cheered up Depression era America. And they experience what it takes to make a life as a professional jazz musician in 21st Century New York. Giordano’s dedication, along with a handful of others, has kept this cultural phenomenon on life support through hard times, and introduced it to a new generation of hot jazz devotees and virtuosos who are laying claim to this joyful, energetic music.
