SHORT FILM OF THE MONTH: BOA Rated PG-13   BOA is a story about equilibrium at risk, opposite interests and confrontation. These components build up into the heart of the tropical jungle and where nature manifests itself in such opulent and majestic ways, that the human kind stays relegated as inferior. To achieve this translation into a visual language, BOA borrows elements from the american comic and bets on the flat colors and bright tones, also hard shadows and the high contrasts, taking the audience to a deep and mysterious reality.   To view this screener, please visit https://www.asifa-hollywood.org/membership to become a member and receive screener details. Please note that membership must be activated at least one week in order to receive the screener information.
