iTunes to showcase a collection of shorts during the fest for free. From January 15 through January 25, visit

problems who seeks the questionable help of a therapist.

her own concerns.

journey, fueled by happiness, slaughter, and a confrontation with

option.
James/Northern Ireland (Director: Connor Clements)-A young man grapples
with the impulses and thoughts about being gay.
Magnetic Movie/UK (Directors: Semiconductor: Ruth Jarman + Joe
Gerhardt)-Natural magnetic fields are revealed as chaotic ever-changing
geometries, as scientists from NASA's space sciences laboratory
excitedly describe their discoveries.
This Way Up/UK (Directors: Adam Foulkes, Alan Smith; Screenwriters: Adam
Foulkes, Alan Smith, Christopher O'Reilly)-Laying the dead to rest has
never been so much trouble.

Three of the '09 films right now are in the Sundance Page along with 6 '08 films.
Go to Home>Movies>Short Films and there should be a section in the top left corner.
"Instead of Abracadabra"is in Short International's page right now for some reason. I wrote a review of it for my site, we'll be reviewing all 10 2009 offerings, so check them out. ^_^
