Here's a collection of shorts from the Sundance Film Festival, two of which fit into the CVMC genre. In the first, director Susan Rivo examines her life long attachment to a stuffed animal named Amy; old home movie footage and present day interviews intertwine to comically comment on the importance of "transitional objects."

Silent Tears is a based on fact story about an Indian family with two young children surviving in the Canadian wilderness during the 1960's and almost becoming extinct when its father grows sick with a tumor. Also included on the tape is The Make, which tells of a con-artist meeting his match, the animated That Strange Person and Blue City, which has something to do with two car thieves, a suicidal man and a boy with a basketball. An enjoyable way to spend 73 minutes.

Highly unlikely to be this movie, but you never know

Festival films are usually very hard to find and their short names are going to make it harder. Rich's link is dead. Anyone feel up to it?
