The live-action shorts include Academy Award winner "Six Shooter" by Martin McDonough; "Our Time is Up" by Rob Pearlstein and Pia Clemente; "The Last Farm" by Rúnar Rúnarsson and Thor Sigurjónsson; "Cashback" by Sean Ellis and Lene Bausager; and "The Runaway" by Ulrike Grote.

The documentary shorts include Academy Award winner "A Note of Triumph: The Golden Age of Norman Corwin" by Corinne Marrinan and Eric Somonson; "The Death of Kevin Carter: Casualty of the Bang Bang Club" by Dan Krauss; "God Sleeps in Rwanda" by Kimberlee Acquaro and Stacy Sherman; and "The Mushroom Club" by Steven Okazaki.
