This popular program spotlights a variety of adventurous documentary shorts from up-and-coming filmmakers and established artists.

Among this year’s highlights are films by award-winning Columbus filmmaker Alexis McCrimmon and newcomer Ting Su. McCrimmon’s Remote Views (2025) is a frenetic remix of public television, video diaries, commercial mass media, and citizen journalism from archival footage made during the Black media explosion of the 1980s. Ting Su’s debut short film Daily Worker, which intimately braids together personal and political history to explore questions of labor and livelihood. (90 mins., DCP)
