DUSTWUN

1 hr 31 mins

Shot over 10 days on an active crossing site 30 miles north of the Mexican border, DUSTWUN is the story of an unusual friendship between an undocumented migrant lost from her group traveling toward the US and a troubled American veteran building his own "wall" out of trash in the desert. Circumventing the contentious politics of immigration and the wall, DUSTWUN unfolds as a fable, focusing on the human element at the core of it all. Writer/director Genevieve Anderson's first feature film with predominantly female creatives, the story came from Genevieve's experiences living near the border in Southern Arizona for the past four years.

Joy for Christmas

1 hr 25 mins

During the Christmas season, Holly Silver, tired of being the fall person for the company's problems, quits her publicist job with Arthur Publishing with nothing in line to replace that job. This situation is much like when she left the family business, Silver Investments, where she would probably be Vice-President now, had she not left after an disagreement about the company's direction with her father, President Edward Silver, stepmother Katherine Silver, and stepbrother Justin Silver, who assumed the Vice-Presidency; she has not spoken to any of them since she left. But in visiting with her sister Eve Silver, Holly believes that instead of looking for another job, she was meant to return to the family business: the event devised by her long-deceased mother, around which the company was built, a Christmas toy giveaway to needy children, is under threat. This year, they outsourced the organization of the toy giveaway to a professional fundraising company, which unexpectedly went bankrupt, taking with them all the donations for the toys; this information has not yet reached the media. While the rest of her family believes that they should abandon the toy giveaway this year to regroup while strategize about how to deal with the media when it hits the news, Holly is determined to keep to her mother's vision to find a way to have it this year. She suggests having a big name with pull to be the center of a fundraising campaign to bring in a new set of donors, and she suggests former Major-League pitcher Jack Kane, with whom she had a somewhat awkward encounter while she was working at Arthur. Jack would understand this problem as his own charity was affected by the same company and he proactively dealt with the media issue, with mixed results. While Jack sympathizes with Holly's plight, he is unwilling to be the face of a Christmas campaign; Christmas has bad connotations for him. Holly is able to convince him to at least consider it, as she acts as Santa's helper elf as she would for the toy giveaway in trying to show him the joys of Christmas. As they spend time together in the lead-up to the possible fundraiser featuring Jack, the two start to fall for each other as Jack sees Christmas through Holly's eyes. What happens between them is affected by the outcome of the fundraiser and the toy giveaway--if it happens this year.

Stateless Things

1 hr 55 mins

Jun (Paul Lee) is an illegal immigrant from North Korea, working in a gas station under an exploitative and abusive boss. Hyeon (Yeom Hyunjoon) is the kept boy of a married businessman, who has set him up in a swanky apartment near the government's headquarters in Yeouido. Both young men are in trouble. Jun's lack of an official identity and papers limits him to dead-end jobs (the gas station, handing out flyers, and eventually male prostitution) and leaves him always in fear of arrest and deportation. Hyeon, who is supposed to be available whenever his sugar daddy "needs" him, stifles in his up-market "prison". These two finally find each other through an Internet site, with disastrous results. The sudden convergence of their opposite lives gives Kim the cues he needs for a series of reflections on the implications of "statelessness".
