Curated by Northwest Film Forum

Go on a wild wagon ride, chase the moon, find a message in a bottle, and set off on an adventure to discover the things that make you truly happy. This shorts program is full of those abracadabra moments, when reality shifts and anything seems possible.

Note to parents: In Taking Flight, a boy imagines brandishing a cartoonish raygun while being chased by a flying saucer.

 
Taking Flight

Dir. Brandon Oldenburg
USA, animation, 2015, 5min

What begins as a small boy’s over-scheduled, over-supervised day with Grandpa turns into a larger-than-life imaginary journey, filled with wild monkeys and intergalactic battles.

 
The Moon and I

Dir. Nancy Biniadaki
Germany, live action, 2015, 8min

A little boy is having trouble falling asleep. And no wonder, there’s something big and bright and round in his bedroom that looks surprisingly like the moon!

 
 
 
Bounce

Dirs. Rory Lowe and D.C. Barclay
United Kingdom, live action, 2015, 10min

There’s nothing this five-year-old girl won’t do to make 10 euros. From chores to scavenging, she’s determined to save up enough to buy herself “the bounciest ball in the whole wide world”.

 
 
We Were Colors

Dirs. Marcos Almada and Carlos Azcuaga
Mexico, animation, 2014, 7min
Nonverbal, with some text in Spanish

 

Three lonely characters wander the same black-and-white city in search of a way to brighten up their lives, until one lucky day their paths unexpectedly cross.

 
 
 
Freeze

Dir. Maria Peters
The Netherlands, live action, 2014, 15min

After discovering a magic bottle that gives her the power to temporarily freeze people, Anna thinks she’s found a way to deal with the three boys who’ve been bullying her. But what will she do when the bottle falls into the wrong hands?

 
 
Myna & Asterix

Dir. Kenny Basumatary
