From the early works of the Lumière brothers to weekly installments of Kardashian melodrama, the moving image has always had a fascination with “non-fiction-ish” storytelling. This collection of documentary and narrative shorts doesn’t shy away from the realities of our day-to-day lives. Rather, they illuminate the parts we don’t always see, even though they’re right under our noses. --- Co-presented by KQED's "Film School Shorts" - Jay Wertzler

Elgin Park is a lot of things: a 1950’s
utopia, a fantastical world, and an optical illusion. Artist Michael
Paul Smith’s imaginative town – composed entirely of miniatures –
delighted audiences worldwide when his photo series went viral. For the
first time, the documentary Elgin Park dives into the life of this
charming, reclusive artist to reveal the dark inspiration behind his
work.
