Shorts Program

Shorts Program: A Look at Health

Physical health, mental health, community health, public health, socioeconomic health – we’ve thought about it constantly for the past 12 months. What does holistic wellness look like? Who has access to health?

Shorts Program: Come As You Are

Women, femmes, and trans and non-binary folks are constantly being told how they should look, how they should act and how they should live. In this section we throw all of that out the window. Come as you are.

Shorts Program: Discovery – First Time Filmmaker

Fall in love with new voices. Celebrate the inspiring new works of first time and student filmmakers as they discover and unlock their creativity.

Shorts Program: Discovery – Student Filmmakers

Shorts Program: Imagining a New Future

While so much of this rapid change has been difficult and even traumatizing, it has shown us things that things don’t have to be the way they were. The future is wide open. What will it look like?

Shorts Program: Making it Happen – Women in STEM

We’re excited to once again partner with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to tell the stories of fierce and fearless women working in STEM.

Shorts Program: Nothing About Us Without Us

This rallying cry, which began in the disability rights movements in South Africa in 1993, has since been applied to multiple movements and causes. In this program, we dive into representation. Who is at the center of the story? Who is telling the story?

Shorts Program: Resilience through Uncertainty

What keeps us going? Humans, women, leaders are resilient. We’ll investigate and showcase the exhaustion and devastation, and the powerful manifestations of perseverance and hope that keeps people going.

Shorts Program: Tear it Down – Dismantling White Supremacy

The COVID-19 pandemic laid bare that which already plagued our country, including police brutality, structural racism, and economic inequality. We’ll take a look at people organizing and taking action to tear down systems of oppression.
