Seoul

Directed by Wesley Murphy and Rebecca Redmond

Synopsis

A young Korean mother finds herself fighting for survival in a war she doesn’t understand. She is raising her two young daughters after being widowed and unexpectedly finds love again with an American soldier. When he is called to be stationed in Germany, she holds on his promise that he will come back for her. After some time passes, she finds herself alone and with an additional mouth to feed. She realizes she must make some difficult decisions. Does she choose to wait for the love she never thought she’d find again or does she take a route of security and comfort?

Racist

Directed by Bender Kynaston

Synopsis

A cafe. The time is the present. A black man and white woman (both in their late sixties or so) are seated at separate tables. He’s on his cell phone, speaking loudly, clearly upset by the call. After the call ends, he apologizes to the woman for being loud and that begins their conversation. His son has been passed up for a job he deserved and the man is convinced it was due to racism. There’s a palpable tension and combativeness between the man and woman from the beginning, but also a certain attraction and familiarity. Each brings up elements from their past experiences, relationships, and how perceived racism and prejudice played a part. Their replay of past events and beliefs that have brought them to where they are now brings up the question of whether or not they really are as liberal as they each believe they are. Not just the woman, but also the man. In a sense, they are mirrors for each other.

Rainbow Bridge

Directed by Beth Sheridan

Synopsis

Arlo stands on the precipice of life at the edge of Rainbow Bridge, imagining that death is better than this life that “sucks.” Zephyr appears out of nowhere, trying to convince Arlo to reconsider the jump, with the idea that it may be the “Call of the Void”—intrusive thoughts of forcing oneself to jump off a treacherous height. Arlo confronts Zephyr’s need to interfere due to the guilt over not being able to stop the jump. Can Zephyr help Arlo see the truth—that no one wants to end their life? And that, just maybe, jumping off Rainbow Bridge is really Arlo’s craving for the exhilaration of life, when adrenaline is pumping, with a sense of feeling invincible, and being truly happy just to be alive. Rainbows bring hope, and Arlo chose this bridge. Is it possible to find a new perspective on life from a whisp of a breeze on Rainbow Bridge?
