gaMe<br />
by Hart snider<br />
In 1983, nine-year-old Hart attends Jewish summer camp<br />
for the first time. A haven for Hart and other Jewish<br />
kids, camp is suddenly disrupted by the announcement<br />
of a special visit: kids from a nearby town will be their<br />
guests at a cultural mixer. But this is not just any group<br />
of visitors – these kids have been taught anti-Sem-<br />
itism and Holocaust denial in school. The night before<br />
they arrive, Hart and his friends speculate about what<br />
tomorrow will bring. They fear the worst, imagining the<br />
visitors might burn the camp down, or maybe even<br />
try to kill them. Incorporating animation, documentary<br />
and personal memoir, The Basketball Game unfolds<br />
from filmmaker Hart Snider’s point of view. Snider uses<br />
humour and suspense to tell a poignant tale of hope and<br />
tolerance in the face of fear and stereotypes.<br />

Meet a man whose life was changed by electricity. An<br />
extraordinary person who can fry a hot dog with his bare<br />
hands in an attempt to become the first human laser !<br />
Slavisa Pajkic, aka Biba Struja (Electric Biba), is capable<br />
of conducting electricity and he can consciously<br />
control its power while discharging it. The central story<br />
of the movie is the inner and outer journey of a rural<br />
superhero in his attempt to discover what exactly hap-<br />
pens in his body, but also to enter Guinness Book of<br />
Records before he loses his power. Is he an illusionist or<br />
a real superhero ?<br />
