Featuring top award winners from Cannes and Tribeca, these nine shorts represent some of the most powerful dramatic works from around the globe. Nine-year-old Ella wants to look chic for selfies and impress her classmates in “Catwalk;” inspired by true events, “Aban + Khorshid” tells the tragic story of two men in Iran who are persecuted for their love; a wounded veteran embarks on a new journey after returning home in “Birthday;” and in “Discipline,” an impromptu debate on parenting boils over into a full-on ideological showdown at a Swiss grocery store
