Arts Alive Month Event - Short Film Festival

This film festival will feature four Academy Award winning Short Subject Films, from various parts of the world. The Mozart of Pickpockets is a French comedy featuring two pickpockets, Richard and Philippe. When all of the gang except Richard and Philippe are pinched, things look grim. Peter and the Wolf is a model animation which uses the Prokofiev score but no narration or dialogue. This British-Polish film highlights the rustic Eastern European setting and combines puppetry and digital images. West Bank Story is a musical comedy set in the fast-paced, fast-food world of competing falafel stands on the West Bank. The film features starr-crossed lovers David, an Israeli soldier, and Fatima, a beautiful Palestinian cashier. The Danish Poet is a musical comedy about a man named Kasper, a Danish poet, and his search to become inspired. Ethnic snacks related to each film will be served.
