SIGHTINGS: A program of contemporary short films that probe the limits of representation. These films cut across the generic boundaries of documentary and fiction, the social boundaries of the personal and the political, as well as the material boundaries of cinema itself.

Films include: Prearranged Signal by Alina Taalman, Lockdown Dreamscape by Nicolas Gebbe, Lesser Choices by Courtney Stephens, Because the Sky is Blue by Wenhua Shi, Hors Titre by Wiame Haddad, Sine Die by Camila Moreiras, NE Corridor by Joshua Gen Solondz, Phase II by Kelly Sears, Blue Room by Merete Mueller, and Sightings by Pere Ginard. Running time: 75 minutes.

The Cosmic Rays Film Festival is an annual celebration of short films in Chapel Hill, NC that expands our idea of what film is and what it can be. Each year, the festival selects work from the previous year’s festival to tour at a variety of museums, universities, micro-cinemas, and other screening venues.
