Drive (Dir. Sam Sullivan, Taylor Hughes)
A woman disappears into the city’s after‑hours glow, her guitar and suitcase crammed into the backseat. The road becomes both refuge and reckoning — a dreamlike limbo between what she’s leaving and where she’s headed. 4 mins.
Super Smash Bros (Dir. Kai Kim)
Super Smash Bros, the latest music video from Oslo-based artist Sid Hart, is a tender exploration of intimacy within the fast-paced world of hookup culture. Shot on hazy 16mm film, it blurs the line between memory and fantasy, unfolding through a series of fleeting encounters. 4 mins.
Deep Dish Dimples (Dir. Manuel Villareal)
When Gio, a Black trans man, calls his best friend Lazette for help burying a body, the two are pulled into an unexpected confrontation with the past. As whispers of family wounds and unresolved trauma echo through the night, Gio must face a surreal encounter with his pre-transitioned self.
What begins as a desperate mission transforms into a journey of acceptance, love, and self-forgiveness, reminding us that healing comes from embracing every part of who we are. 9 mins.
