DIFF 2014 Review: Documentary Shorts- Jonesy's Take

I was lucky again this year to check out the documentary shorts. I thoroughly enjoyed the selection last year, and I was not disappointed in the line up for 2014. There were the standard "slice of life" shorts, a couple made me wish they were feature length documentaries, as well as a more experimental-type short which absolutely floored me. 

Below, I have listed my three favorites (including twitter/page links to the directors), but almost all of these shorts were fantastic in their own way. 

The documentary shorts play again tonight, 4/9, and you can purchase tickets here! I highly suggest you check them out.

Dallas IFF Review: Documentary Shorts- Jonesy's Take

As much as I enjoy full length documentaries, I've never see the documentary short program. Usually this is the category that will mess up your Oscar poll during the Academy Awards. But after viewing this year's documentary shorts program at DIFF, I will make sure to catch this program again next year. There were seven shorts total with six of them being very strong. Below I have highlighted three of my favorites.

The documentary shorts will show again tonight, April, 9th, at 9:45 at the Angelika Dallas.
