GROCERY SHOPPING, 38min., USA
Directed by Harry Roseman
I am at the grocery store three to five times a week. It has become a ritual, picking out the items, going over the shopping list, interacting with the same people year after year.

PUNK SINATRA, 11min,. USA
Directed Sebastian Macchia
‘Punk Sinatra’ is not only a whimsical mockumentary but also a groundbreaking first in cinema—it’s the first AI-created mockumentary. The film unfurls the fictitious tale of Punk Sinatra, an imagined long-lost cousin of Frank Sinatra, humorously credited with sparking the punk rock revolution. This entirely fabricated character pioneers the raw, straightforward lyricism and ‘Do It Yourself’ ethos of punk music.
