POV Shorts, a collection of non-fiction short films curated by the PBS documentary strand ‘POV,’ has acquired six new titles that screened at major film festivals earlier this year, including such major platforms .
True/False Film Fest offers a wide variety of documentaries to its attendees. One of the highlights of the festival is the short films. The shorts allow for experimentation and creativity without having to commit to the story arch of a long-form documentary. These ideas encapsulate the films included in the May 5, 8:20 p.m. showing of “Shorts: Coyote 77.”
The first film shown was “Department of Injustice,” directed by Travis Wood and Chloe Gbai. The six-minute short addresses systemic racial injustice rooted in the U.S. In a choose-your-fate, video game style, the film walks viewers through an imagined phone call with the U.S. Department of Justice.
