From the philosophical musings of the workers who wash windows on skyscrapers to the secret lives of housecats, these award-winning shorts have garnered acclaim at some of the world’s top festivals. “Aaron Burr, Part 2” gives one of history’s villains a chance to tell his side of the story, while in “I’m Never Afraid!” an eight-year-old motorcross champion laughs in the face of danger, and in “Grandmothers,” the stories of Argentinian women whose grandchildren were “disappeared” is given a lyrical animated treatment.

Description

Eight-year-old Mack ‘the motor midget’ was told by doctors he should have been dead. Now he performs on the motorcross track while death watches him from all corners. He finds inspiration with his deceased grandfather and support from his sister who lives in constant fear of going into anaphylactic shock.
