Here come seven more fabulous short works from around the globe. The dreamy French short Chère Fin, about a postman’s last day on the job in a magically watery fairyland. From New Zealand, Jack Woon’s Let’s Settle This! mixes bad-first-date jitters with tasty-looking food and an epic kung-fu battle. Gabriela Calvache’s spooky Plague Season sees the end of the world from a little girl’s eyes in Ecuador. Alan Cumming lends his pipes to Michael Bruce’s musical short Kiloran Bay. David and Emily Schuman’s The Baker’s Hotline takes us inside a Vermont legend—the King Arthur Baking Company—for a peek at their famous hotline. And finally, Oscar-winning director Sean Baker takes a remarkably fun trip around Penang, Malaysia, where Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh playfully assumes the guise of many characters over the course of a single meal in Sandiwara. ~SM
