Best of Show
Les Films du Varech (France), La Carte, short film, involves a man living in a color postcard who falls in love with a woman living in a black and white postcard. Can their worlds come together? This is a wonderful to watch, joyful comedy with inventive visual manipulations. Director Stefan Le Lay delivers short entertainment at its best. LINK
P.J. Harling (United Kingdom), Dipper, short film, is a day in the life of a pickpocket with a twist didn’t see coming. The best movies are always entertaining with strong character development; Dipper excels at both. This visually attractive, carefully crafted comedy keeps viewers guessing, has talented stars. This audience-pleasing film stands-out. LINK
