Short Film Programs at Local Sightings unite regional filmmakers under common themes! The festival catalog also includes special presentations, feature films, workshops, and panels.

Set to a vocal quartet which depicts the Prophet Jeremiah reflecting on the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC, this machine learning-generated video contrasts despondent themes with the potential for hope and revitalization.
