Truly global in scope, this year’s dramatic shorts program features films from Israel, Mozambique, Ireland, Iran, and the UK. Offering sharp social commentary, “More Than Two Hours” follows a young unmarried couple in Iran as they wander the city late at night in search of a hospital; three homeless children will do whatever it takes to enjoy a day at the Funfair in “A Tropical Sunday;” and “The Kármán Line” finds Sarah (acclaimed British actress Olivia Colman) mysteriously floating away from the Earth’s surface as her family watches helplessly.
