A screening of short film featuring works by artists from Bermuda, England, Italy and the United States. A wide range of genres included in the festival: fine art, documentary, reality, comedy and drama. Overall, the chosen films examine the idea of human growth and the human connection.
What makes this festival unique is not only the variety of genres included in the mix but also the background of experiences that each director holds. One of the directors screened his entry at the 2011 "Sundance Film Festival" and "SXSW Festival", whereas five of the directors created their first video solely for the "Fiander Film Festival". Four artists hold their Master of Fine Arts degrees from Maine College of Art. Six filmmakers studied at or are affiliated with the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies. Six professors and students at The Art Institute of Washington submitted films. The cast and crew behind "Food Coma TV" are made up of a hodgepodge of individuals within the restaurant industry as well as Nomadic Nation's "Wreck Trek"; a television series that recently sold to the International Travel Channel. Fiander's Bermudian collaborator works as a deep-sea fisherman. Employees from the Social Security Administration as well as the Department of Energy submitted videos. In short, some of the artists have art backgrounds and some do not.
