Film Details

In last year’s program of Sundance Film Festival minis, we showed the original Whiplash short that was expanded into this year’s acclaimed Whiplash feature. The latest compilation of superb Sundance live-action shorts includes eight movies from the 2014 festival, among them: Afronauts, about Zambian exiles who try to beat America to the moon in 1969; Dawn, an account of a sheltered teenager from director Rose McGowan; and Verbatim, an uproarious, unbelievable (but 100% true) comedy in which a lawyer tries to establish whether a government employee has ever used a photocopier. (The dialogue is lifted word for word from an actual deposition filed with the Supreme Court of Ohio!)
