IU Cinema is showing eight different short films from the 2014 Sundance film festival at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
The films include a mix of fiction and documentary films from a variety of countries, including the United States, Israel and Austria.
The first film, “Afronauts,” tells the story of exiles from Zambia who are trying to beat the 1969 U.S. mission to the moon.
Another short, “The Cut,” shows the fluctuating relationship of a father and daughter while she gets a haircut. The film was written in Canada and runs for 15 minutes.
A short film created in Israel depicts a poor man working to recreate his last memory of his mother.
Tickets are $3 for students and $6 for the general public. The IU Auditorium box office is selling tickets, and the IU Cinema will sell tickets 30 minutes prior to start time.
