DESCRIPTION:\n	With directors Joe Callander and Sophy Romvari in person \n	
 \n\n\n	There is an art to making concise works of cinema\, much as there i
 s an art to working on a large scale\, or episodically. Yet too often shor
 t films are considering stepping stones\, mere test runs\, toward making f
 eatures. So it is exhilarating to discover filmmakers who are not just ade
 pt at the short form\, but committed to exploring it as an ongoing practic
 e. The filmmakers Joe Callander and Sophy Romvari come at the short from d
 ifferent angles\, but nevertheless share an ability to express complex ide
 as and emotions in a exceptionally short span of time\, as well as a willi
 ngness to train their cameras on the people and environments closest to th
 em. From Callander’s deadpan sincerity to Romvari’s snapshots of Akermania
 n intimacy\, they are two of the form’s most innovative new explorers. App
 roximate runtime: 60 mins. \n\n\n	Pumpkin Movie (Dir. Sophy Romvari. 2017.
