COSMIC RAYS FILM FEST 2024, Chelsea Theater
COSMIC RAYS FILM FEST 2024
We're thrilled to partner with the COSMIC RAYS FILM FESTIVAL, uniting our shared passion for groundbreaking cinema. This collaboration promises to bring an exciting blend of innovative short films and engaging artistry to our audiences, enhancing the film-going experience with every screening.
The COSMIC RAYS FILM FESTIVAL is an annual celebration of short films that expand our idea of what film is and what it can be. The Festival presents several programs of short films made by filmmakers from North Carolina and around the world that are formally inventive; speak with a personal voice; and are inspired by the possibilities of film as art.
PROGRAM 1: AGAINST TIME
75 mins | TBC | Short Film
March 1st @ 7:00 PM
Films that follow the arc of time. Or is it a spiral? Monkey Kingdoms, political prisoners, and atom bombs. While we’re stuck here in time, we might as well watch the fireworks.
PROGRAM 2: PUBLIC SURFACES
68 mins | TBC | Short Film
March 2nd @ 7:00 PM
We stand here on Unity Island, on the shores of a sea of sighs, while solar storms rage above our heads. “Did we finally beat them,” we ask the eco-feminists, “or is this just a temporary victory?”
PROGRAM 3: VISION OF PARADISE
87 mins | TBC | Short Film
March 2nd @ 9:00 PM
Illusions about reality, or maybe it’s the other way around. Choreographing self-destruction, workshopping rage, and animal mimicry. When we’ve finished training the AI, once and for all, will it show us its vision of paradise?
PROGRAM 4: WE'LL GO DOWN THE ABYSS IN SILENCE
57 mins | TBC | Short Film
March 3rd @ 1:30 PM
Rituals to ward off the demons or lead us through the abyss. Incantations in the face of dropped frames and radioactivity. If the choice is between love or religion, what are you waiting for?
