I believe that a collection of shorts has the ability to capture every succinct precept of human emotion considering their expansive and inventive approaches to a single topic. Cohesively, these shorts all circulate around the topic of relationships; but, the mass amounts of variation that heartily circumvents your typical love story are vast and outrageously exciting. This series delineates intrinsic questions essential to the basis of friendship, relationships and the love (or hate) that can spawn from each.
The series starts of with the compelling French short Lost Paradise. In the mere 11 minutes that this short screens, it hooks you immediately. The examination of social conscious, and the barriers and condemnation that love can have deeply resonates in the burgeoning emotions of our volatile worldly environment.
Now, I don’t want to recite everything I enjoy from each movie (as we would be here for eternity and you would clearly miss the film), but each short brings a unique perspective; gripped with comedy, lust, dissatisfaction, and (un?)fortunate pornographic interactions. From films that range from Canada to Ireland to Indonesia, there is always a new interpretation of profound and insufferable aspects of relationships.
Go see these films. Take your date, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the absolutely engaging yet shameless narrations in these 10 shorts. You never know, starting a late night discussion about love, passion, and a hulahoop may start some of your own (hopefully not too short) adventures!
Love In Strange Places at the Globe Upstairs, 9:30PM.
