Seven altogether, and - impressively - all good.
Lost Property Office
The Rabbit Hunt
Mrs McCutcheon
The World In Your Window
Let’s See How Fast This Baby Will Go
Fry Day
The Burden
Sentimental favourite for me: "Mrs McCutcheon", in which a ten year old boy who prefers to wear dresses and seems to be tending towards identifying as female becomes friends with another, Indigenous boy rendered an outsider by his skin, done with a sense of drama and style that owes more than a bit to the John Hughes-styled 80s teen film aesthetic and even ends with a school dance.
The one that I suspect will linger: "Fry Day", set on the evening of Ted Bundy's execution and following the 16 year old girl who sets up to take photographs of the crowds who flock to a local public event around the execution and the parallel darker aspects of human nature that she encounters. Maybe "The Rabbit Hunt" too, which is a documentary and has a forcefulness that does feel real. The whimsical existential animated grimness of "The Burden" was also amusing, though maybe a bit thin.
