Among the featured films are two Award Winners from the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival. Its Student Visionary Award went to Cru-Raw (Switzerland), which follows a young chef learning the hard way in her mentor's kitchen. Winner of Tribeca's Best Narrative Short was the British No More Wings. Directed by first-timer Abraham Adeyemi, the film is “a rapturous feast for eyes and ears, capturing brilliantly the… bitter-sweet fates of … promising youth in South London.” (Medium.com). Three additional shorts round out the line-up.
SHORT CUTS Film Festival will be held on Thursday, October 8 from 7-8:30pm. A second and different program will be screened on Thursday November 12.
