(104 mins) 6:45 PM - FRI June 21 - Oak Cliff Assembly ASPIRE: A SKYSCRAPER STORY (USA, 6 mins) - Dir. Zander Crowns
Opening in 1974, the First International building redefined the Dallas skyline and reigned above its competitors as the tallest building in the city. However, the building would face a myriad of challenges in the coming decades as it attempted to remain relevant. Ultimately, the First International would have to re-invent itself or face becoming just another Dallas-area office building.

Eleven-year-old Katie and her dad reconnect after many years apart, with the help of a mermaid they meet in the San Marcos River.

RECYCLOS (USA, 18 mins) - Dir. Jordan Gros
Recyclos follows Poppy, the only “real human” left in existence, who runs a robot recycling facility. At “Recyclos” she takes robots at the end of their lives and transforms them into fully fleshed humans. Robots were created to help heal nature and restore peace to a world left in shambles by human destruction and overconsumption. At Recyclos, robots-turned-human have a second chance to experience life and all the wonders it has to offer. When Poppy meets Banjo, the world continues to grow a little more beautiful and a little more kind.
DORIS (Ghana, 18 mins) - Dir. Edem Dotse
In Ghana, a young woman struggles with disruptive fits and a growing jealousy towards her friend.
