September

Dir. Corey Atkins, 9 minutes, USA

In September, we experience one man’s twenty-year journey of remembrance — and reckoning. As he takes in the the life and connection around him from a rowboat on Central Park Lake, he remembers the deep love he found, then ran from, when faced with the specter of AIDS. As night falls, he comes to accept that grief and regret are like the seasons: they shift and change — but they are always there.
