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 “Baseball in the Time of Cholera” uncovers a scandal at the root of the Cholera epidemic in Haiti.
