Shorts Set: Sci-Fantastic
The Ballad of Tita and the Machines (15 min.) In a near future where Artificial Intelligence in the workforce is a societal norm, Tita, an injured and elderly fieldworker, reluctantly hires an artificially intelligent humanoid substitute worker to fill in for her picking strawberries and unexpectedly attracts the curiosity of the creators of this technology when their AI workers are unable to do her back-breaking work.
The Last Story on Earth (19 min.) Facing angry protesters, a determined drag queen does her best to finish a fairy tale reading at the local library. But when an alien invasion upends Earth’s existence, the queen encounters new challenges that forebode terrifying outcomes for humanity.
The Magic Library (15 min.) Students at a University discuss books in the library and spells that went wrong.
The Tin Woods (11 min.) While exploring an abandoned cabin, the Tin Woodman finds...his original head? Based on the original Oz books by L. Frank Baum, this short stop-motion film explores the origins of the Tin Woodman and how he came to be made of tin.
Thirst Trap (8 min.) Night after night, his routine is the same: cruise the apps, exchange pics, move in for the kill. He knows every trick, every angle, every subtlety that captures your attention. After all, he’s been at it for two hundred years.
HARRY (3 min.) Leo realizes that there is no place like home.
TOTAL TIME: 71 min.
