The Student Showcase is always a must see at NYICFF because not only is a great collection of films, but its the place to see the next generation of big name filmmakers before they are big names.
FIRST WINTER
A boy from a tropical homeland experiences his first cold winter.
This is lovely film that will get the adults misty
UMIT
In a world without light Umit builds a drum to bring the sun back.
This is a lovely little tale that I wish was longer so it really milked our emotions.
PUDDLE
Waiting on the AC repairman a cat turns into a puddle
Made by a filmmaker who has cats. This is dead on.
FLUFF AND FURIOUS
After watching a Nature show, a poodle thinks its a wolf.
Another spot on film from an animal lover. Wonderful
MAUS IM HAUS
WHile a man sleeps, mice play
A beautiful little film
THE BIG BAD WOLF
Aardman related film about the relationship between pigs and wolves, and how they see they don’t need to be enemies. It played before HOPPERS and was a delight both times I saw it.
FRANKIE
The perils of goldfish ownership.
This is an amusing little tale.
THE DAY I LICKED A PEBBLE
Three kids decide to go to the bakery on a sunny afternoon- but the story told about a monster gets out of hand. If you have siblings this story is going to ring true- especially if you've ever tried to scare them and have it go wrong. It a note perfect film.
SPROUT
A sprout girl begins to grow facial hair.
A sweet tale about growing up
A PIZZA ME
A battle between pizza delivery people
Cute
PASSING BY
A girl bumps into a childhood friend and needs to know whether to reconnect or not
A film wise beyond its years. This film will hit harder the older you are.
PEAR GARDEN
A six year old tries to come to terms with her grandmother who had her breats removed.
A solid little film with an unexpected subject.
NANU
How do you cancel an online order.
WAVES
A beautiful film about finding and taking strength in who we are. (This should have been in the Celebrating Black Stories collection). One of the best at this years NYICFF.
CHIQUITO
An armadillo causes havoc with a teleporting device.
This is a delightful little film.
