BSDFF - Shorts Block 20 Description:
Taking Stock: Using his failed attempts at creating profitable stock footage, a filmmaker reflects on the absurd, mundane, and humorous side of being trapped inside your own head as an out-of-work, self-employed freelancer.

Unheard: Amidst the depths of despair, a grieving mother finds her voice to challenge the forces of injustice and inspire hope.

Scrap: In the shadow of the global metal trade, a metal scrapper hunts the streets of Oakland searching for his day’s keep.

The Shift: As dusk descends across the San Francisco Bay, the city’s 911 dispatchers prepare for the busiest time of day: the swing shift. Looking at the lives behind emergency phone call-ins, THE SHIFT explores the emotional impact of 25 dispatchers in charge of guiding the other end of the line through crisis.

A View from the Window: An immersive glimpse of a school day through the eyes of deaf children.

Swan Song: Van is an 86-year-old twin from Brooklyn who dreams of sailing the world until he dies. Following a man and his dream to spend his remaining days at sea, SWAN SONG is an inspiring reminder that you’re never too old to follow your dreams.

Space with Memory: Five students from the Madrid Film School go through the corridors of the Conservation and Restoration Center of the Spanish Film Archive to create a portrait of the largest film repository in Spain in search of the ultimate cinematographic formula.

Standing Still/Still Standing: Yoga has been practiced, studied, and espoused as transformative for several thousand years. STANDING STILL | STANDING STILL follows the transformations of three individuals for whom Matthew Sanford, a paraplegic yoga instructor, is a last hope. Taught by a man who can only use half of his body, the three individuals learn the strength and vitality of the human body.
