**’Out of Love’**

Nominated for the European Film Academy Short Film Award in 2010, “Out of Love” takes an unorthodox approach to telling the story of a group of children in post-war Kosovo. The film will play before showings of “Hula & Natan.”
**’Very Nice, Very Nice’**
Director: Arthur Lipsett
Running time: 7 minutes
In just 7 minutes, Director Arthur Lipsett left his mark on film. This 1961 critically-aclaimed film blends hodgepodge slice-of-life photography with fragments of speech and audio.
