Suicide by Sunlight

This popular annual program returns with seven films from the most recent Sundance Film Festival, widely considered the premier showcase for short films and the launching pad for many now-prominent filmmakers.

Among the selections in this year’s diverse mix are Nikyatu Jusu’s Suicide by Sunlight, about a black vampire protected from the sun by her melanin, and Alexandra Lazarowich’s Jury Award–winner FAST HORSE, about the fascinating bareback horse-racing traditions of the Blackfoot people. (96 mins., DCP)
