SWEET DREAMS, 34min., USA
Directed by Gary Alvarez
Set in the near future when most people can no longer dream, “Sweet Dreams” follows the story of Esperanza, a young woman who’s excited to be a mom for the first time. Weeks before the baby is due, her partner Kiké goes missing. As she searches for him and her savings dwindle, she comes across an opportunity to make some quick money: surrogate dreaming, a new technological advancement which allows her to sell the dreams of her unborn child through a dreamcatcher clinic. After a trial run, Esperanza begins to suspect that the clinic is somehow connected to Kiké’s disappearance.

Telephones, 4min,. USA
Directed by Copper Giloth
“Telephones” explores a personal journey through time, identity, and technological evolution, using a collection of telephones as a lens. Each phone, from a red Western Electric to a modern iPhone, symbolizes both moments in time – childhood, independence, life choices — as well as technical and design innovations. Tied to memories of forbidden red clothes, maternal sewing, and illegal long-distance calls, the phones embody personal and cultural shifts over many decades.

UMBRELLA, 5min,. USA
Directed by Copper Giloth
After arguing with my sister over a quirky pizza-themed umbrella in Naples, I was left alone in Rome, grappling with frustration and sadness. To process my emotions, I created a personal walking tour, visiting ancient obelisks. Each step became a way to reflect — on our strained relationship, my late brother-in-law’s whimsical obelisk drawings, and my own path to peace. My journey extended beyond Rome to Amherst, New York, Paris, Aix-en-Provence and Brittany. With my playful umbrella in hand, I found solace in walking, letting memories, grief, and laughter guide me toward healing.

As Long As You Want, 22min., Canada
Directed by Matt Santos
For as Long as You Want is a tender, conversation-driven short film about two actors, Liz and Brad, running lines in a quiet basement one afternoon. What starts as a simple rehearsal slowly turns into something deeper as they begin to open up about their relationships, their dreams, and the things they’re afraid to admit out loud. Liz is in a relationship that no longer feels right, with someone who doesn’t really see her. Brad’s charming, grounded, and unexpectedly honest. As they talk, laugh, and share food, the connection between them grows easy, real, and a little bit electric. With Liz’s train out of the city approaching, she has to decide whether to go back to the life she’s been trying to make work, or stay in this moment just a little longer. Quiet, raw, and full of heart, For as Long as You Want is about timing, chemistry, and the things we don’t plan for.

We are all at some point confronted with big life decisions. It’s difficult to know what to do in these situations when we have conflicting voices in our head.

Inspired by South Africa’s “Day Zero” water crisis, the film’s themes resonate globally, addressing pressing issues like climate change, resource inequality, and moral leadership in times of crisis. Spelonk blends local folklore, steampunk aesthetics, and intense action to craft a narrative that is both culturally authentic and universally relevant.
