This year‘s student film festival brings together exciting new works from colleges throughout the Bay Area. They look both forward and backward in time, from Bad Connection, a collage homage to the rotary telephone, and the Cold War nightmares of Dilemmas of the Day, to a depiction of our evolving digital identity in The Password Was SNACKS. Ghost Syndrome, a portrait of a Moroccan lesbian living in the United States and My Homeland, the story of one family's emigration from Iraq, illustrate the emotional resonances of living in-between cultures, while Heklina, Lost Cities, and Counting the Dead explore San Francisco, then and now.
