This week's short film is "Look Up at the Stars, Portugal!," a stunning and packed epic by the local filmmaker Matthew Brown. In just 4 minutes, Brown’s short (the soaring music, the brilliant colors, the gorgeous city, the reflections on the nature of the universe) says more about life and the human condition than The Tree of Life said in three or so long (indeed interminable) hours.
