FILM SPONSORSHIP
„Birthing is hard, and dying is mean – so get yourself a little loving in between.”
Jyoti Mistry opens her short film with these encouraging words by the African American poet Langston Hughes as she deconstructs and queers images from various film archives, condensing them into a shimmering montage. Following this optimistic opening, the short film program Tales Of Love And Loss explores swallowed tongues and racing hearts, falling in love and saying goodbye; the unexpected intimacy of an awkward sex date; the secrecy of a blossoming love; and how difficult it can sometimes be to put feelings into words. And even if your heart seems to stop after a separation, it‘s still worth looking ahead and finding a little loving in between.
