Glory At Sea [short films]  

This is Glory At Sea, a 26 minute short film by Benh Zeitlin that has garnered some major attention ever since it screened at SXSW. The story of a post-apocalyptic group of survivors who construct a boat with the lucky items that kept them alive in the flood to seek out their drowned loved ones is melded seamlessly with a post-Katrina theme that surprisingly, Zeitlin came to as an afterthought after already writing the story about a sea full of dead souls. It's visually stunning and gorgeously made, with some amazing sentiments about loss and death, as well as hope and faith and ultimately, loving those who are no longer with us. If you have some time you should check it out. It's indie filmmaking at its best.
