There are some poignant moments of late-childhood fear, fun, and awakening in this program of shorts from places as different as Spain, Finland, and Palestine.

And Whistler plays itself in a very commercial-looking U.S. short about a female snowboarder. But forget all the others and run down to see “Fabrizio’s Initiation”, 17 minutes of pure filmmaking bliss. Argentina’s Mariano Biasin is as skilled with his young actors as he is with the script and design of this tale of four teens who pool their money to pimp out an abandoned car as their (nonmobile) love shack. Dude’s a serious talent to watch!
