Another Swell Day
USA

An animation following a young girl who has been recently diagnosed with a rare blood disease known as HAE (Hereditary Angioedema). It is a story of a nervous child growing into a confident adult who has refused to let her trials overwhelm her. It is dedicated to all HAE patients and all the trials that they go through.

The ABCs of Community Arts
Canada

In the middle of the pandemic, an arts worker goes back to school after 34 years. There, he pulls together a University Community Arts Group to produce a tragicomic cartoon: The 'ABCs of Anxiety'.

Armed with an original A-Z poem, 26 bizarre character illustrations and a $1500 'Wellness Grant', the 'York U Group of 12' works virtually, battling wifi demons and academic deadlines to emerge with a 2 minute, 2D tour de force.

Sola
Australia

A music video by Human Productions, featuring Danny Pryp. ‘Sola’ is an original song by Danny Pryp, Luis Miguel Gomez Castaño & Juan Camilo Ruiz Gonzalez, performed by Danny Pryp.

Everlasting Wheat
Canada

A farmer in the 1860s, convinced that a government conspiracy has ruined the year's crop, seeks revenge on his neighbour.

Just Like Water
Greece

The movie is about the father of the director, Spyros, his life and experiences. We follow a magical journey through time, embedded with vivid images of Spyros, grandfather, man, child ... A girl and a woman always there. A patchwork of images, accompanied by original musical composition, sketched in detail: it weaves the puzzle of a whole life nestled in the Island of Crete (Greece).

Shoreline Socialites
Canada

Cormorants have long been maligned and killed based on misleading and inaccurate claims by extremist angling organizations. Thousands of beautiful birds are maimed and killed needlessly every year. This film is part of a larger advocacy campaign and was developed to dispel the myths about these beautiful birds and help the audience gain a new understanding and appreciation of why cormorants belong in our Great Lakes ecosystem and should be celebrated rather than killed.

PescAmare
Italy

The life and the soul of fishermen, where the triumph of a lifetime of sacrifices finds its right appreciation in family ties and in the true values we too often tend to ignore or forget they exist.
