Spotter: A Short Film by Chris Marsh
Here’s an eerily beautiful film by Chris Marsh that begins as an effort to make a documentary but ends up being a profound expression of an artist’s dislocation as he tries to identify with his subjects.

Splitscreen: A Love Story
This is a very nice and expertly done split-screen romance by J.W. Griffiths that leads up to a sweet ending that one can see coming right from the start. That’s kind of the point of the film actually. It’s the matching details that make the film work so well. It was shot entirely on a Nokia N8 mobile phone and it won the Nokia Shorts Competition 2011.
