My third DOC NYC shorts program focuses on younger protagonists – from pre-adolescents to young adults.
DOC NYC Program Description:
THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT:
Wednesday, November 20 at 7:15pm
These five shorts capture the honesty and wisdom of youth. Cancer upends a dancer’s dreams in LIKE A DANCE (USA, 6 min., Jill Orschel). FOLLOW MY STEPS (USA, 16 min., Andrew Hida) details a friendship between a 13-year-old and a 21-year-old, bonded by physical disability. An undocumented young woman shares her story in I WAS BORN IN MEXICO, BUT…(USA, 12 min., Corey Ohama). Classroom and playground culture clash when a young Native American boy moves to Norway in EAGLE BOY (Norway, 27 min., Gry Elisabeth Mortensen). A group of Native children guide strangers through their remote island community in DOGS ON A BEACH (Canada, 23 min., Spencer Gilley & Andrew Hovi). (85 min. total)
Why You Should Attend:
These portraits cover everything from health issues and immigration to identity and culture differences – all from the perspectives of disarmingly astute and open young men and women.
