In looking through the short films accompanying some of the features at this year's NYFF, I found two which immediately caught my attention.
Before the screening of Pablo Larrain's Post Mortem, there's a new short film by the great Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi, The Accordion, described as "Two child beggars learn a lesson in class solidarity." Panahi was released from prison earlier this year, but although his new short just premiered at Venice, he was denied permission to attend by the Iranian regime.
And preceding Hong Sang-Soo's Oki's Movie is a new 13-minute film by Tarnation director Jonathan Caouette, All Flowers in Time. According to the festival website it's "a guided tour through the shattered remains of memory and identity. With Chloë Sevigny."
