ON BORROWED TIME (RT: 65 minutes)
Making art can be a long, painful process, especially to those for whom time is not a luxury. This smartly produced threesome profiles the artist residing within a set of profoundly damaged souls, and in the process allows a degree of empathy and understanding.

DANCING STILL
(USA, 2001) Dir./Scr.: Yori Mochizuki
With her long-held dream of becoming a ballet dancer shattered, Laura works a desk job at a talent agency. Embittered by both a lame leg and a broken engagement, she regularly pores through classifieds searching for a man that might change her fate. Her search becomes a personal mission with a specific twist: the man must drive an ’84 Silver Cadillac Deville. Is it John, a good-looking guy  who drives the right car? Or is it the lone street-performing sax player whose pleading, melancholy notes fill the emptiness of an unassuming street?
