We are all powerfully connected through a web of heartstrings. The short films collected here reflect the deep desire for human connection. The stories unspool the threads that bind us to one another – sometimes stitched tightly, and other times they’ve come loose like the thread on a favourite jersey. These characters are seeking love, whether they know it or not.

A lonely young toyboy hires a sex worker on his birthday, but he's looking for much more than a simple orgasm. Can true intimacy be reduced to a transaction?
- Diagonal
Drama, 6 mins, Switzerland
Dir/Writ/Prod: Anne Thorens
A young couple is already in the heat of the action when she asks him for a condom. He doesn't have one, but that doesn't seem to curb his enthusiasm.
- Anna
Drama, 15 mins, Ukraine/Israel/United Kingdom
Dir/Writ/Prod: Dekel Berenson
Anna, an ageing single mother in war-torn Eastern Ukraine, goes to a party to meet American men in search of love. Awkward, funny and touching, this award-winning film has screened at Cannes 2019 and more than 200 festivals globally.
- Summer Thing by Alae
Music video, 4 mins, New Zealand
Dir/Writ: Vision Thing
This music video is a tribute to classic mid-century musicals, and a love story between two creatures who naturally avoid sun and smiles. Proof that music and love conquer all stereotypes.
- Nýr dagur í Eyjafirði (Dovetail)
Drama, 15 mins, Iceland
Dir/Writ: Magnús Leifsson
Dovetail follows a man in his forties who has become trapped in a life that no longer fits him. In search of serenity, he imitates male stereotypes and dives into all the clichés of the material world. This short film is a lyrical presentation of beauty, grief and sorrow.
