Yo
Director: John Weldon

3 min
A pesky individual
turns into a bully
when the attention
he craves is not freely
given.
 Gathering Storm
Director: David Rimmer
Canada.
6 minutes
The heartbeat of humanity.
The drumbeat of war.
An accelerating world
beat announces the
relentless approach
of a dark force. A
hauntingly beautiful
film about the world’s
flight into chaos.
 Bring
it On!
Director: Josef Fares
Sweden.
12 minutes
In a school cafeteria two young men provoke each other into a violent fight. Then their alter egos leave their bodies to watch at a distance, hackling them on to fight to the point of absurdity and self-examination.
 Two Minutes
from Faradis
Director:
Daniel
Syrkin
Israel. 50
minutes
Yuli, a precocious Israeli teenager unsuccessfully tries to rebel against her ultra-liberal parents. Just as she’s about to give up, she meets the charming son of the family maid, who happens to be Arab. Sparks of romance between the two evoke the parents’ alarm, leading to a series of misunderstandings involving the incensed families from both sides. A satiric look at the Israeli-Arab conflict.
 Blue
Like a Gunshot
Director: Masoud Raouf
Canada.
5 minutes
With its interplay of shadow and light, of paint in movement, this animation is a reflection on our world. In its evocation of the conflict between civilization and nature, the absurd vanity of human warfare contrasts with the harmony of the natural world.
 Falling
in
Love Again
Director: Munro Ferguson
Canada.
3 minutes
When two cars traveling in opposite directs careen around sharp curves, screeching on two wheels, the “meeting” of their occupants promises to be explosive. This animated comedy is a playful take on popular myths and clichés about love, and a send-up of the glorious vertigo of…falling in love.

Director: Ling Chiu
British
Columbia. 40 minutes
This beautifully expressive film uses archival materials and the vibrant voices of Edna Chow and Charlayne Thornton-Joe to trace the history of the Vancouver Island cemetery, from controversy and neglect to its revival as a National Heritage site. From the experiences of Chinese pioneers in an unwelcoming land to the efforts of subsequent generations to establish roots in Canada, this documentary is an eloquent exploration of tradition, belonging and the notion of home.
