dam short film festival 10: avante-garde song and dance

"ouverture"
gorgeous animation that looks like pen on strathmore ... what if a baby is born with music notes flowing from its body?

"the black dahli ballet"
murder and dance.  would easily fit at the film noir festival.

"moonlight"
memories past set to beethoven.

"grace"
2 women's stories intercut: ballet dancer and hooker.  if the dancer falls, it's gonna be a bad night for the hooker.

"posey"
alzheimer's tale.  I CAN'T GET OVER THE FACT THAT LELAND PALMER -YES! LELAND PALMER!- IS A PSYCHOLOGIST IN THIS FILM.

"baby, is it warm in here?"  essentially a music video riff on "baby it's cold outside."  includes a roofie lyric.

"ouverture" was my favorite, but I voted for BIIWIH? because the director showed for Q&A.and said he did it on a $200 budget.  jared white, you're a genius.
