Saturday, February 7th, will feature the culminating SHORT FILM SHOWCASE at Old Dominion’s University Theatre at 7PM, with doors opening at 6:30PM. It is hosted by ODU’s LGBTQI+ Student Alliance ODU Out and ODU’s Student Theatre Company The Starving Artists. The Showcase features six selections of the Reel It OUT Short Film Competition.
From Portugal, EDEN is an intimate short film about a man who learns to let go at the same time another man learns how to love. The Festival welcomes two short films from France – ELECTRIC INDIGO, the shocking and raw insight of a young woman’s unique family situation while she discovers her sexuality; and THÉRÈSE(S) AND SIMONE(S), a revealing and frank discussion about the power of women and the unique power that comes with their age. From Spain, the Festival showcases three shorts – ULTIMO AVISO, a challenging and fun-loving short film about a late night encounter at a movie theatre between a distraught young lady and a ticket teller; OPEN RELATIONSHIP, which discusses the ins-and-outs of complicated open relationships in the gay community; and MINIATURAS, a short film about an elderly mother who has recently passed, and the comedic funeral investigation that follows to discover her secret lover.
Three awards will be presented for the most outstanding short films of the night – Best Foreign Short Film; Juror’s Choice; and the People’s Choice Award, the last of which is determined by votes from the audience at the event. The awards will be announced at a reception following the short film screenings.
