‘The Astronaut and The Star’
A period sci-fi psychodrama filled with pink goo, mermaids, creepy porcelain dolls, and an incredible sense of impending doom. And glitter, don’t forget the glitter!

Shirin Mozafarri
‘Namesake’ , ‘I Inherit My Grandmother’s Fear’, and ‘The Story of Ama and Baba’
Through the practice of cut-out collage stop motion animation, Shirin Mozafarri takes us on a journey to a universe filled with myth and the stories of the women in her family. While the imagery is hauntingly beautiful, her poetic narratives become poignant and necessary in understanding her own personal narrative.
‘The Cinematic Embodiment of My Existential Crisis’Trapped in a world of fantasy and color, we take a look into Sarah Hachey’s inner world. Riddled with images reminiscent of a fauvist in the digital age, ‘The Cinematic Embodiment of my Existential Crisis’ reminds us that the visuals that plague us in our dreams say more about us than we think.
