Fantastic Shorts II
Although inevitable, few events in life are more shocking and infuriating than the loss of someone we hold dear. But is death the final curtain or merely a veil we pass through on our way to a hereafter? And in case of the latter, what does the afterlife bring? Is it a continuation on a different plane of existence or does it take the shape of a second chance in the form of reincarnation? While life’s oldest questions elude definitive answers, filmmakers have always turned to their imagination to shed light on unknowable mysteries. With cinematic lenses and just the right measure of lumens to pierce the shroud, they illuminate stories of unspeakable loss, undying love and unexpected reunion as goodbyes fade into hellos. Life is short, and so is this program. Enjoy it while it lasts and catch a glimpse of what might come next.
