DANGEROUS PLAYGROUNDS UNTITLED (PLAN FOR VICTORY) ELODIE PONG SWITZERLAND 1.15 MINUTES Great ideas, erased by an avalanche. THE DRIFT KELLY SEARS USA 9 MINUTES A mysterious disappearance on a space journey gone awry launches the counter-cultural revolution at the end of the 1960s. Obsessively collected images found in thrift stores and fl ea markets are animated to create an alternate American aeronautical and cultural history. Through the gaps in these isolated moments of time, The Drift collages together a history of expansion and the desire to push too far, too fast. PARADISE DRIFT MARTIN HANSEN NETHERLANDS 13 MINUTES Are they pilgrims or are they just lost? Take a strange quest in the dead of night and fi nd the darkened paths up well-travelled mountains and see what you didn’t know was there to be found. WINTERSCAPE JIM BIZZOCCHI BC 15 MINUTES An exploration of the relationship between form, content and fl ow in the context of the Canadian landscape. It’s a gentle but inexorable momentum that constantly fuses facet and component into an ongoing holistic evolution, extending the particular into a broader and transcendent organic whole. THE PLAYGROUNDED (LES RABIBOCHÉS) ANH MINH TROUNG QUEBEC 17 MINUTES In his mid forties, Jerome encounters his imaginary friend from childhood, Jerry...who has also grown older over the years. UNDER THE GARDEN CITY JOHN W. MCFETRICK VICTORIA 20 MINUTES Come explore Victoria’s secret tunnels, uncovering forgotten histories, myths and mysteries. No need to bring your own fl ashlight. AWKWARD COMPANY 5 CENTS A PEEK VANESSA WOODS USA 7 MINUTES An interpretation of a poem by Sharon Olds wherein the circus becomes a metaphor for a woman’s performance in, and for, the world. BRAD’S DATE NICK SCHELLE VICTORIA 8.5 MINUTES Brad planned his fi rst date with Sarah perfectly. He planned the dinner. He planned the movie. But he didn’t plan on running into Carl. Oh, did I say “into”? I meant “over”. HOME MYLES PAYNE, PIER VAN TIJN UK 9 MINUTES Down on his luck Stewart, a scruffy 22 year old, returns to his childhood home for some respite. Only to fi nd all of his possessions have been packed away in to boxes to make way for a cold sterile offi ce. A VERY LONG WEEKEND SANDRA COPPOLA QUEBEC 10 MINUTES A young couple wishes to fi nd peace and tranquility in their friend’s ancestral cottage where they meet an odd couple. A couple who will transform their holiday into a very awful nightmare, that is. JEHOVAH’S WITNESS ALAIN KRAMER UK 14 MINUTES A Jehovah’s Witness gets more than he’s bargained for when he calls upon a family who are in the middle of a domestic crisis. THE LISTENS (L’ECOUTEUR) KESTER DYER QUEBEC 14 MINUTES A man who takes pleasure in listening one day becomes the aural witness of a violent assault... HIRSUTE A.J. BOND BC 14 MINUTES Kyle, a young scientist struggling to build a time machine, is confronted by an arrogant future version of himself.
