Arrow‘s Paradox (by Jorge Caballero)
|
At 6 a.m. it begins the day in Arrow's house. Get up, take a shower, have breakfast, dress and leave. Day after day the same programmed actions. This life is annotated and it's impossible to escape.
The name of the short is original of the theory exposed by the American economist Kenneth Arrow in 1950 and demonstrates that its not possible to design rules for the capture of social or political decisions that obey a certain set of reasonable criteria. |

Billy's Dad Is A Fudge-Packer! (by Jamie Donahue)
|
Billy's Dad is a Fudge-Packer is a 2004 black-and-white short comedy film written and directed by Jamie Donahue in her first non-acting effort. It is a parody of the 1950s social guidance films, and depicts the life of a boy learning about adulthood in a traditional family. The apparently innocent account of family life in the 1950s is loaded with sexual innuendo.
