<\/a><\/p>\nGardening at Night (USA)<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\nDirector: Shayna Connelly<\/h2>\nCast: Janelle Snow, Suzanne Culp , Lia Mortensen<\/h2>\nThe period between knowing death is near and death\u2019s arrival form an unbearable state of regret, sadness and anticipation for Samantha. She is powerless to help Anne, who on the eve of her death, has not come to terms with her fate and remains angry and afraid. Samantha recreates conversations between Elyse and Anne from the hospital in order to comprehend what Anne is facing and the enormity of her own impending loss. Waiting expands time to the point that it loses meaning. The world shrinks to encompass only her and her phone, which will ring soon with the news. That night she can no longer bear the stillness and despite the darkness, Samantha tries to put neglected garden in order. Caring for living things gives her a temporary sense of control. Afterwards she realizes how she can help Anne let go of her fear, which also gives her the chance to say a personal good-bye to her friend.<\/h2>\n
