Please join us in congratulating the 44 short films selected to screen at the 2021 Pendance Film Festival.

We welcome back 4 Pendance alumni with films in competition; @jonas_riemer , @polic_nikola , @carlotapereda and @michaeluccello .

typo on post: There Will Be MONSTERS runtime is 5', not 23'.

They join an absolutely stacked program of shorts full of diverse viewpoints across a range of genres.

Want documentaries? Check out @meaganbrownie 's doc FIGHTER or @crni.pevac 's BLUE FRONTIER. Experimental and animation cinema? Stop motion? Tons of options!

But you want to laugh? Laugh with @amandinethomas666 's Cherry Cola or @sophsomerville 's Peeps. You'll need the laughs before you lose your mind trying to figure out some of the more contemplative and open ended shorts. Shorts like Nikola's Organisms, or Kilter by @robstantoncook .

There's a range of ideas, emotions, and thoughts expressed here. We look forward to virtually meeting all of these filmmakers to discuss these short films.

43 unique perspectives. From 15 different countries. Across 5 continents. Traveling is hard during a global shut-down so we're bringing a world of cinema to you.

Passes on sale March 9th at midnight on @eventive_org and the full slate of awesome features will be announced on March 8th. Congrats to all the artists selected!

Read the extraordinary article by @seth_abramovitch

The last memory most have of Shelley Duvall is of the grossly inappropriate interview with @drphil in 2016, in which McGraw drew universal criticism for unethically exploitating Duvall's mental illness, using clips of her claiming the then-deceased Robin Williams was in fact alive, and had become "a shape shifter"

Determined to not let that memory be the last one fans had of Duvall (now 71), Seth set out on a pilgrimage to seek out Duvall and shed new light on the fading star's legacy.

It's an interview that should be read by anyone even loosely interested in the topic of mental health, or in Duvall's incredibly illustrious career.

One of the brightest actresses of her generation, and one of the top producers in Hollywood throughout the 90s, Shelley's story has been painted by two broad and misrepresentative strokes. She was the actress who Stanley Kubrick tormented on the set of 'The Shining' and she was the 'Ex-star' on one of the worst Dr. Phil episodes in history.

But unwilling to let that be all she would be in the eyes of the world, this interview gives Duvall a canvas to set the record straight.

Full link in bio.
