CAAMFest 2014

SHORTS

The films that make up the festival’s Shorts Program are vast and varied, making up what they lack in length with tremendous talent and limitless imagination. This year’s program converges the fantastical worlds of genre films with the equally unbelievable realities of global injustice and illuminates the joys and heartbreaks inherent in familial relationships, romantic love and being an outcast. Diverse and plentiful, there is bound to be a short for everyone.
