What does it mean to be family in 2013? This eclectic mix of shorts paints a modern family portrait with riveting drama, deadpan humor, and innocent exploration. RE(TRACE) (Jonathan Lemieux, Canada, 2013) Scarred like a badly healed tumor, one filmmaker attempts to re-trace his memories, hoping to eliminate the cancer that was his father. THE COMMITMENT (Albert M. Chan, Canada, 2012) When an interracial gay couple attempt to adopt a newborn baby they receive a surprise that threatens their relationship. HATCH ( Christoph Kuschnig, Austria, 2012) A newborn's destiny hangs in the balance, as grownups come to terms with what they cannot have. LOLLI-POPS (Marc Singletary, USA, 2013) Mary brings her new fiancé home to meet an eclectic family. MY PERSON (Antony Osso, USA, 2012) A look into the life of a trans couple and their son as they show how they've overcome adversity to become a very traditional non-traditional family. SUMMER VACATION (Sharon Maymon, Tal Granit, Israel, 2012) Sea, sun, island, a family on vacation. And all Yuval wants is to get the heck out of there.
