Independent Lens Season 5 Episode 10 Man Bites Shorts

A collection of six short films, begins with 'Compulsory Breathing,' a 24-minute tale of a suicidal man (Yuri Lane) and the woman (Beth Lisick) who wants to kill herself with his gun---after he's finished with it. Also: 'Bike Ride,' Thurberesque animation about a lovesick man riding 70 miles to see a woman who doesn't want to see him; 'Dilly Dally,' a poem performed by Everton Sylvester of the Brooklyn Funk Essentials; 'Don't Nobody Love the Game More than Me,' a Socratic debate on a basketball court; 'Tom Hits His Head,' about a dizzy six months in the life of the filmmaker (Tom Putnam); and 'Sergi,' two minutes' worth of musings about hockey and identity in New York's Central Park.
