Velvet-textured memories lost and found among emerald pastures and presented as tokens of unbridled affection and unbroken desires. -- Spencer Parsons
PONY CHANGES EVERYTHING
USA 7:00 VIDEO
DIR Ben Coonley
Euros, dinars, krugerands might make you feel all right. Learn about exchanging rates to help you sleep at night. But I don't care too much for money 'cause Pony can't buy me love. -- Spencer Parsons
ANIMAL BEHAVIOR
USA 8:46 VIDEO
DIR, CINE Karen Yasinsky ED Kevin Steiner SND Holger Muller MUS Winston Rice
"Repetition, repetition." -- Mark E. Smith. Why did that French man shoot that Arab man in that novel? Why do the terrible things tucked away in our unconscious suddenly come true? In this girl meets dog -- girl loses dog -- girl meets man -- man shoots dog -- man ponders his existential condition story, Yasinsky's claymation playhouse yields a heavy dose of suburban psychodrama. Foley work is to die for. -- Steve Ausbury

DIR Eileen Maxson
Twentysomethings looking for FUN! Behind the scenes at reality TV, an earnest young woman tries to trade her heartbreak for it, while a casting agent navigates his own. -- Julia Halperin

I AM A BOYBAND
CANADA 5:30 VIDEO
DIR Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay
The frighteningly talented Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay populates the sweetly melancholic romanticism common to madrigals and a certain strain of bubblegum pop. Which one do you think is cute? -- Julia Halperin
TWITTERPATED
USA 25:00 16mm
DIR Tuni Chatterji
"That won't happen to me!" cry Bambi, Thumper, and Flower mere moments before each succumbs to G-rated spring fever with an eyelash-batting forest creature. "Twitterpated," sighs the owl. On the streets and beaches and in the plastic paddle boats of LA , boys and girls fend off spring with songs of romance and desire. Uninhibited by lack of accompaniment or their own variable abilities to carry a tune, the performers sing a touching and funny tribute to the beauties of exuberance and unrequited love. -- Spencer Parsons
