SUNSHINE [9 mins] - Directed by Patrik Krivanek - "Here, I think, I found the purpose I'd been looking for..." "Here" means for Katka H. the streets of sacred Indian city - Varanasi. There she has decided to stay, in a place of different flavors, colors, religions to pass one of the most precious thing - the knowledge. With the hope to make a better life for her students.
SPECIAL DELIVERY [9 mins] - Directed by Giulia Gandini - Special Delivery is a character-driven drama about a broke university student who nonchalantly delivers cocaine for a London restaurant in disguise, until he meets an unexpected first time customer: a street smart 13-year-old kid.

BASED ON A TRUE STORY [16 mins] - Directed by Jack & Gabriel Whitehead - This short, conceived and directed by twins Jack and Gabriel Whitehead, follows the story of
Henri and Verity, “two amateur photographers who chance upon a competition to take a photo of ‘The Truth’”. A discussion of art and pretension, it “delves deep into the world of aesthetics, celebrating all that is unknown and subjective, in a world where the line between fact and fiction is increasingly blurred”.
FAIR TRADE [60 mins] - Directed by Melody Ho, a Studio Holder release - The struggles of a girl with autism, a sexually confused lesbian and an aspiring artist/psychologist dealing with modern dating and adult problems.
