Got Shorts? November 12, 2010

This shorts program, curated by the Boston Asian American Film Festival, features 7 films: The Humberville Poetry Slam (Emily Chang & Dan De Lorenzo), in which a wannabe poet organizes a small town poetry slam to build a team for the National Slam; Clap Clap (Tanuj Chopra), about an illegal gun dealer facing a difficult decision; Andy (Andrew Ahn), a portrait of a couple who takes their six-year-old son to a shopping mall for a relaxing afternoon; Topi (Arjun Rihan), situated amidst the turbulent partition of India circa 1947, where a young Hindu boy has a chance encounter with a stranger; Master of His Domain (Eric Elofson), the story of a young teenager who just wants to masturbate, but can't because his dead grandmother will do anything to stop him; Space Cadet (Paul Moore), whose seven-year old protagonist's vivid imagination takes her on a surreal adventure from her bedroom closet into outer space; and Ajumma! Are you Krazy??? (Brent Anbe), a screwball comedy about three Asian women addicted to Korean Soap Operas and the six-pack chiseled Michael Park.
