2007 Festival Film List continued.

Short Films Juried Festival Showings
If you're looking for insightful drama, fast-paced action, or a bit of timeless romance, this collection of 18 shorts (many of them Michigan-made) has something for everyone, including "Shooters," a hard-edged tale of ambition and revenge; "Perfect Red," which finds a beautiful painter in a fight for her life against home invaders; "Fu Cents," a dreamlike martial-arts comedy; and "Schizophrenia," a mystery about a marriage overshadowed by murder which was recently screened at the illustrious Cannes Film Festival in France.

Audience members will have a chance to cast their vote on their favorite short for the Audiences' Festival Favorite Award.

The shorts will be shown in two groupings at Pit and Balcony Community Theatre. Sponsored by Mid-Michigan MovieMakers Group (4M). More Info
