CIRCUS DREAMS 80MIN
This vibrant documentary examines the lives of a dynamic
group of 12 to 18 year olds performing in Circus Smirkus, the
only traveling youth circus in the United States. It tells the
real life story of how these unusually talented teenagers
surmount tremendous obstacles to keep their circus from
closing forever. By delving into the young performers’
passion for the ancient circus arts, the documentary also
explores how it feels to be a teenager today. An inspiring
testament to the power of youthful dreams, CIRCUS
DREAMS is a treat for the whole family.

ORANGE HANGOVER 55MIN
"What happens when a nation split along ethnic,
linguistic, and religious lines finds itself faced with a
political disappointment of staggering proportions?
This is the question posed by Masha Shpolberg’s
film "Orange Hangover" which examines the after
effects of the 2005 Orange Revolution in Ukraine. Shot
in the culturally diverse city of Odessa on the eve of the
2010 elections, the film follows the director’s
personal quest to understand the issues at
stake and the potential paths to recovery."
