The films are broken up into two showcases of outstanding short films.
Showcase A features eight outstanding films totaling 116 minutes. That includes the Deepak Sethi’s social comedy “Coffee Shop Names” (USA).
“It’s a very cute short film about individuals who have names that are unpronounceable to many people,” Morgan said. “They come up with what they call their coffee-shop-name abbreviations. As they stand in line, they imagine who these characters are.”
Albert Ventura’s sci-fi drama “Love at Third Sight” (Spain) recalls themes from “Last Year at Marienbad” (1962) and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” (2004).
“It’s about two individuals who meet for the first time in a coffee shop,” Morgan said. “Have they met before? One of them believes they have and has to convince the other one that they have met, for a very particular reason, but I’ll let you see the film.”
