Alice in Hollywoodland (Jesus Perez Miranda, 7 mins, Spain)
A clever, witty and inspired short combining images from two eras of cinema classics. Combining the work of Maya Deren's Meshes in the Afternoon with David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, this short shows some surprising similarities between both.
Flowers at the Park (Mariel Macia, 10 mins, Spain)
Two girls meet, fall in love and exchange flowers in the park in this fresh, funny and genuine flirting film.
Mars (Marcus Richardt, 16.5 mins, Germany)
Two young women from different sides of the tracks, one a photographer exploring abandoned urban sites, the other a vandal hanging out with her mates, play a cat and mouse game of aggression and eroticism through the streets of a German city.
At Home, or Love as Well (Mariel Macia, 25 mins, Spain)
A woman decides to take a leap towards fulfilling her lesbian desires by hiring a prostitute. A game of wits between the two ensues until submission leads to bliss.
Rope Burn (Melvin Montalban, 8 mins, Australia)
A trio of girls deal with romance, erotic encounters and the threat of separation in a tense and thrilling performance of physical theatre.
Loving Loretta (Andrea Gutsche, 23 mins, Canada)
The lesbian answer to Brokeback Mountain, this exquisitely crafted short takes place in a diner in deepest, mid-west America, where the local ladies not only cater for their husbands, but also the cowgirl they all look up to, Loretta. Loretta has eyes for only one though, the quiet waitress in the corner.
The Girls' Shorts Programme will be introduced by Director Mariel Macia
