SIENNA AND THE SIT
USA / Comedy / English / 17 minutes
SYNOPSIS: SIENNA AND THE SIT is a story about the lengths to which we go to avoid our pain, the community that helps us through to the other side, and ultimately our own inner strength. Sienna, a heartbroken LA seeker ready to try any spiritual remedy, has tried everything to get past her ex, to no avail. When her friend Ruthie says there’s nothing left for her to do but sit Shiva, Sienna takes her metaphorical comment literally, and hosts a Shiva for her ex. Her self-absorbed actor friends are so ready for Sienna to finally move on that they agree to her rather unusual proposal. Things start to unravel when a special guest guru, Linus, a self-proclaimed “Shiva” guide (as in the Hindu god of destruction and death) shows up. Despite Sienna loving the synchronicities of the two Shivas, nothing could be less healing. By the end, the Shiva is a bacchanalia of besties shoving their solutions in Sienna’s face to the point that she must escape. And finally sit with her grief.

BIG FEELINGS
United States / Romantic Comedy / English / 16 minutes
SYNOPSIS: Eleanor, single and almost 30, considers herself the opposite of a hopeless romantic. She’s smart, pragmatic, and realistic. (And fine, okay, maybe a bit of a control freak). One night, in a twist of fate, she finds herself sitting across from a psychic who shares that she’s going to meet her soulmate. Tomorrow. Eleanor decides to put her skepticism aside and put herself out there. Just in case. The following day, Eleanor sets out on a journey that has her seeing signs… but they’re probably just coincidences, right? When she bumps into Jake, a perfect-beyond-belief stranger determined to take her on a date, she’s smitten. But was it fate that brought them together or something else entirely?

MIÉRCOLES, 5:40 PM . Y NADIE VINO
Panamá / Comedy / Español w/English subtitles / 3 min
SYNOPSIS: A short comedy about the absurdity of contemporary art from the perspective of someone who monitors it every day, without applause or an audience. A portrait of the invisible worker, of the sarcasm that saves, and of art itself.
A veteran security guard faces yet another lonely afternoon in a contemporary art gallery. Amid incomprehensible works, million-dollar bricks, and rules that no one respects, his skepticism turns into poetic resignation. As he converses with the curator, the everyday absurdity transforms into a living installation where the real and the ridiculous merge. A minimalist satire about art, bureaucracy, and the silent heroism of simply being there, waiting.
The art of monitoring the inexplicable.
