SHORT PROGRAMS

DTLA Film Festival's 2023 short-film lineup offers a lot of something for everyone -- from horror to comedy, social justice to animation. Jump into our shorts (!) and try them on for size.

T﻿ABERNACLE A wandering tramp falls in with a crowd of religious zealots, led by a bumbling preacher who sermonizes, "Hellfire is a real place!" In the back pew, the tramp imagines grandiose visions of snickering devils and orgiastic torture. The unnamed hero is then baptized in the ocean and does janitorial work for the church, but idiotically causes a fire. There are devils hiding in the carpet! The preacher catches him in the act, resulting in a scuffle which leads to the demise of both. <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/18rQ_nLMa74MKszOAC5lc_E21mfK3CZcV/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">P﻿OWER SIGNAL</a> While trying to navigate a city that won’t provide him a bathroom, a delivery worker discovers an unearthly presence infecting women all over New York.<a href="https://vimeo.com/831396675" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">T﻿HE BUYERS</a> A new homeowner grows suspicious of a neighborly couple eager to help her unpack.M﻿IA AND THE SKELETONS' NIGHT FROM HELL A spec teaser short horror comedy about a punk band dealing with a rival group whose music just so happens to turn anyone who hears it into demons.

This is a short teaser film, setting up the larger story. <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/13eQ3ypOBrCtmZWhfYBp-LbOZPfs_B0KN/view?usp=share_link" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">W﻿HAT A TRIP!</a> Two downtrodden strangers go on a vision quest to cure their depression but end up trying to figure out why they have matching visions of a manic, talking wolf-bear named Kevin.3﻿ DIALOGUES ABOUT THE FUTURE What is it like to navigate our world as an artificially intelligent robot? What is there to learn about homo sapiens in order to become as 'human' as possible? Three pairs of robots take us through their learning process. They track, analyse and draw information by watching people in different life situations. But their algorithmic vision comes in contrast with a meditative, rather poetic dialogue in which they deconstruct and reassemble the definition of humanity as we know it.
