A Collection of 60+ Films are featured in this ninth annual festival dedicated to short films under two minutes in length composed in a variety of genres. This year’s show features Michael Moore’s “Testify” ? a political statement on the 2000 elections in collaboration with the band Rage Against the Machine; Canadian David Weir’s collaboration with Douglas Coupland, “Night Shift”; crazy animation from Tokyo; the mixed up antics of a cartoon character gone sinister in “Butchu-Kan”; weird things that a penguin does for fun in “South Pole”; and more.
