And they're just getting started ...
2 nuns create their 'bucket list',
then live life to the fullest.
Confessions
Alva and Mary are two elderly nuns who stumble upon the body of Sister Antonia, who has fallen dead at the altar of their church. The two nuns turn their thoughts to mortality, wondering how they like to go.
Their discussions pull them into a philosophical state of mind, with one confession leading to the realization that they haven't experienced nearly as much as they'd like. Determined to cram more excitement and joy in what's left of their lifetime, the two nuns decide to embark on a series of adventures before it's too late.
Directed and written by Stephanie Kaznocha, this sweetly irreverent short buddy comedy is a unique riff on the idea of YOLO, as two dear friends and fellow spiritual explorers contemplate their mortality together and decide it's time to leave their literal cloister and live a little. Like the lifestyle of the nuns themselves, the visuals have a straightforward, naturalistic and almost modest bent, but it puts the spotlight on the warmly delightful performances and quirky, funny writing.

Peacock Spider "Stayin' Alive"
A short compilation of 51 Australian peacock spiders. Thanks to Universal Music for allowing me to use the Bee Gees track. I often thought it is the perfect tune for letting peacock spiders dance to, and I am glad I finally got around to combining the two.Maratus volans is a species in the jumping spider family (Salticidae), belonging to the genus Maratus (peacock spiders). These spiders are native to certain areas in Australia and occupy a wide distribution of habitats. They have a specialized visual system that allows them to see the full visible spectrum as well as in the ultraviolet-range; this helps them detect and pursue prey.

A derelict spaceship becomes self-aware and builds itself
a mechanical body in order to feel alive.
"Henri"
by Eli Sasich
Dust/2023HENRi is an epic sci-fi short film starring Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey) and Margot Kidder (Superman). Hundreds of years in the future, a derelict spaceship - controlled and powered by a human brain - floats aimlessly in the outer reaches of space. Trapped in the cold metal prison of the vessel, the brain begins to experience disjointed images of its former life - images it cannot understand. Becoming increasingly self-aware, and yet unable to move, the brain devises a plan to build itself a mechanical body from parts of the ship. Maybe then it will understand the images it is seeing. Maybe then it will feel alive.
