    An experimental short film, seductive for music, delicate suggestion, dance and the frame of memories of a venerable man about a love story - maybe just the love story- of his youth. Poetic and seductive, it is a sort of useful island for remind you to yourself.

    A great short drama that captures the social dilemma of immigrant families and stress placed on children - especially younger children in the shadow of their brothers and sisters. Excellent story and production quality. I wish I could watch it for the first time again.

    Why Festivals Matter

    Festivals are annually planned events that bring people with commonality together. The diversity film festival allows individuals to come together through the unification of film regardless of genre. Festivals provide greater sense of community as those within the area create, share, and explore new concepts for film.

    In addition, these sort of events provide a break from the monotony of life. Festivals provide special events and a cultural exchange by building relationships and strong communication within the community the event is held at. In other words, there is an environment of cultural harmony.
