LIKE GOING TO A HARDWARD STORE FOR BREAD, 10min., USA
Directed by Roque Nonini
New York City-based filmmaker Roque Nonini and downtown theater artist Kim Katzberg collaborate in Like Going to a Hardware Store for Bread, a darkly comic DIY film, developed, shot and set in Brooklyn, New York. In spirit, the piece is the punk band that Kim wasn’t brave enough to be in at thirteen-years-old because she was too busy pleasing boys.

HOW DO YOU FALL OUT OF LOVE WITH COUNTRY MUSIC?, 13min., USA
Directed by Shyamala Moorty
She just wants to sing country and western on stage, but it's not easy for a South Asian-American in the deep south where every audience is a hostile one. “How Do You Fall Out of Love with County Music” is a humorous and moving short film about cultural alienation and the possibilities for human connection through music. Set on stage in a honky-tonk bar, Amy Singh courageously bares her soul to the audience and reveals deep truths about racism and belonging in our country today.
