NYFF Currents Shorts- The Real World


CERTAINTIES

One of my favorite films in the Currents shorts collection in part to the bears.


RW-LO
What is this doing in Currents?- This is a look at a Real World obessessed teen through home videos, recreations and narration. This is a solid documentary/essay about how TV influences the world that is at the wrong festival and in the wrong section. While imperfectly made it has a great deal to say about the world and its inclusion in the currents section of NYFF dooms it to being lost because the audience for this needs to be at DOC NYC or some other big doc festival


PLACE HOLDER
A woman deals with a divorce.

Good looking but unremarkable. It is too much like a hundred other films


MOON PALACE

Trippy art film that creates a weird sense of a world and a life just off the screen. The least straight forward film in this collection, I'm not certain how audiences from the previous films will take it since its inclusion is kind of jarring.
