Sometimes stories are told to make sense of a nonsensical world, to impose logic on life’s confusion. Sometimes stories celebrate this bewilderment, utilizing the strange and unexpected instead of explaining it. These surreal short films feature superheroes, tampon monsters, vengeful robots, hungry forests, ghastly futures and purgatorial loops. Collected together, this block captivates as much as it challenges convention.

Boundaries are made to be pushed. This visionary group of shorts showcases the work of some of today’s most innovative and forward-thinking filmmakers. Across all genres, these films represent the vanguard of cinema with stories of life, death, justice and injustice, monsters both real and imagined, and the horror and beauty that reside inside the human heart.

Shorts Program #3
1966-2000 | 75 Min | Dirs. Various
How can anyone accurately describe the one-of-a-kind experience of watching a David Lynch film? Other than using the reductive term “Lynchian” for the millionth time, not easily. With help from Jonathan Marlow of Camera Obscura, THE EXTRA ORDINARY, a collection of four short films engrained with the filmmaker’s essence, is North Bend’s attempt to encapsulate the enigma that is David Lynch down to a lone cinematic sensory overload. Open minds are highly recommended.
