The Odd Mondays Series presents Three Short Films from
The Spiritual Cinema Circle subscription series
FREE ADMISSION
"Eternal Gaze" - an animated short about the legendary artist
Alberto Giocometti. This film explores the mind and quite
possibly the final moments of is life in his Paris studio.
"Click Three Times" -- Karen has created her own private world in her garage, a world of rainbows, yellow brick rods and fairy godmothers.
As a mentally challenged young adult, it's a good way to escape the
incessant arguing of her parents. This short film shows what happens
when her 'real' Fairy Godmother shows up!
"Bicycles and Radios" -- It's hard to imagine that a first-time filmmaker
could create a work of such beauty and subtlety, but O Nathapon, born and
raised in Thailand, has done just that. This film allows the viewer to
believe again in the mysteries that bring us healing when we most
need it.
