Labor Day (Haya Alghanim, 11 minutes): An invitation to a Hudson Valley vacation exposes rivalries among a group of young women — and plenty of unexpected turns.
Magda (Karim Kassem, 13 minutes): A photographer’s surreal journey around New York City brings him into contact with new subjects, people, and revelations — shot in beautiful 16mm.
