 And the Whole Sky Fit in the Dead Cow´s Eye (Dir. Francisca Alegria\, 19 m
 ins. Columbia University) A lyrical\, beautifully performed and directed e
 xample of magic realism that captures the transcendent power of a mother’s
  love. The same day that 55 cows appear dead in a Chilean village\, an 85-
 year-old woman is visited by a ghost. She believes he has come to take her
  to the afterlife\, but he has different news.\n	\n	\n	Wartezeit (Dir. Cla
 ra Stern\, 10 mins. Filmacademy Vienna) A suspenseful and riveting film th
 at viscerally translates into cinematic terms the all-toocommon fear of a 
 woman alone at night.&nbsp\;\n\n\n	Save the Presidents (Dirs. Tal Keren\, 
 Alex Strada\, 13 mins. Columbia University) A visually compelling and poet
 ic study of a group of decaying sculptures of the American presidents in a
  Virginia field.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n	The God of the Labyrinth (Dir. Michae
 l Simku\, 21 mins. Academy of Fine Arts Vienna) A highly inventive and dee
 ply research documentary hybrid about espionage\, culture\, and the Cold W
 ar that raises fascinating and timely questions about politics and fiction
 .&nbsp\;\n	\n\n\n	The Art of Not Appearing (Dir. Pernille Rivedal Hellevik
 \, 15 mins. Columbia University) A witty and succinct ghost story that exp
 lores themes of love\, ambition\, the afterlife\, and the unending desire 
 to find resolution and meaning in life. \n	\n	\n	\n	The Burden of Memory (
 Dir. Albert Meisl\, 20 mins. Film Academy Vienna) A witty and well-paced c
 omedy that captures a distinctly Viennese slice of life about a power play
  between a musicologist and a young acolyte.\n	\n	\n	Tickets: $15 (Free fo
 r members at the Film Lover and MoMI Kids Premium levels and above). Order
