"Help Wanted" is an award-winning silent short comedy, made in the style of the early 1920s. Silent film production, direction, and acting techniques were used throughout the entire process. Silent films and music are the international languages, and if I can show this film all over the world, then maybe we can all laugh together. What a wonderful energy that would create. As in the early days of silent film, a wonderful organ score was written specifically for this film. Directed by Mac Estelle (Michael Madden) (USA)

So Stonely: The May Company

"So Stonely" is a satirical music video commenting on the exaggerative nature of mid-20th-century anti-marijuana PSA films. Our humble protagonists find themselves pressured to try a new trending experience, whose psychedelic effects skyrocket our subjects into a hyperbolic world of idolatry and Illuminati cultist rituals, sending everyone spiraling through a horrifying metamorphosis. Will they ever find their way back again? Directed by May McDonough and Daniel Lake (USA)

Node

This is the story of those who live on an island in the middle of a lake. In the movie which tells that the life — even during childhood, youth and old age — does not change for this island and its residents, the time is depicted as a static phenomenon. The island never changes; no one leaves/can leave there even though years show them the reality called “death”. They dream about the things beyond the lake; these dreams are like meaningful journeys to them. They think of being somewhere else, in other places, maybe in different lives; however, they are knotted onto that island from cradle to grave just as their boats they knot on the dock at the end of every workday. Directed by Engin Poyraz (Turkey)
