Modern Silent Shorts

Modern Silent Shorts presents five new silent short films – all screening with live original music. MSS is an initiative that commissions today’s most exciting young filmmakers to depict the contemporary world using film’s original form. This slate of films displays formally bold, unexpected, and wildly creative approaches to the prompt of silence.
