As she becomes insatiably curious about her new neighbor, and learns that he, too, has unusual sexual preferences, she must reevaluate all of her previously held notions of beauty and desire. In Czech, subtitled. 2011; 11 min. With an in-person appearance by director Max Rissman!

Anche se è amore non si vede (It may be love but it doesn't show) - Salvo Ficarra (Nardò, Lecce, Italy)

A wonderfully raucous, sweet-natured Italian comedy about Salvo and Valentino, who work ferrying tourists around Turin, Italy on an old English double-decker bus.  Whey they hire the beautiful Natascha to deliver the tour info in English, Salvo also hopes that Natascha will re-ignite his love life. Meanwhile, Valentino is obsessed with Gisella, but she finds his adoration too stifling.  And to make matters worse, Sonia, Salvo’s good friend, comes back from the U.S. with her new boyfriend but with other desires in mind. In Italian, subtitled. 2011; 94 min.
