We attended the Palm Springs International Shorts Festival

Eddie got tickets for us to two different days of the Palm Springs International Shorts Festival. It is a significant event in the world of movie shorts and serves as a qualifying venue for the Academy Awards.

One day, we saw shorts from the local desert area. Two dealt with Vets and recovery. That makes sense since the 29 Palms Marine Corps Air Station is here.

On Sunday, we saw a set of the various winners. And they were charming. Here are parts of great ones. They aren't easy to find and I see mainly trailers for the animation ones, which we only saw a few of. 

The last one was in the "From the Desert" program of the Show.


And if they ever release the short film SHEEPDOGS, watch it! It is a stunning way that an artist is helping vets deal with trauma.


This is "Forevergreen" It is charming

.

This is "Būdo" it is a crazy adventure and story about an old woman who mises her dead husband, and they her way of reaching his spirit.

This is the trailer for Richard Neutra's Maslon House. It is why Rancho Mirage now has historical preservation.

Capybara Cafe

 In Tokyo there are very few pets.  Landlords don’t like them. But people miss the petting.  So they have cafes where you can spend sometime...
