AGRICULTURAL REPORT Director: Melina Sydney Padua (IRELAND/3 minutes) While feeding in a field, a cow listens to some distressing news over the radio. BACKWARDS BOY Director: Nora Twomey (IRELAND/12 minutes) Born with his head facing the wrong way, Cúilín Dualach is the object of ridicule from all but his loving mother… until the day he discovers his own unique talent. Irish with English Subtitles! FUMI AND THE BAD LUCK FOOT Director: David Chai (USA/7 minutes) Fumi must live her life with a foot that continually attracts misfortune. JUNGLE BEAT: ALWAYS TAKE THE WEATHER WITH YOU Director: Brent Dawes (ZIMBABWE/5 minutes) A series of extreme climate changes take Monkey on a hilarious, haphazard journey. JUNGLE BEAT: I’VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN Director: Brent Dawes (ZIMBABWE/5 minutes) Ever had an itch you just can’t scratch? Tortoise goes to dramatic, extremely funny lengths to cure an incessant itch under his shell. LET GO Director: Wayne Gilbert (USA/5 minutes) For an aging knight, the grass really is greener on the other side of the brick wall. In order to advance to a more colorful life, he must let go of his heavy burden. LOVE TRAIN, THE Director: Eva Bennett (UK/8 minutes) A lonely female dragon leaves home, but can such a hot-blooded woman ever find her perfect love? MAN WHO WALKED BETWEEN THE TOWERS Director: Michael Sporn (USA/10 minutes) A vivid retelling of Philippe Petite’s tightrope walk between the Twin Towers in seventies New York City. Narrated by Jake Gyllenhaal. MANTIS PARABLE, THE Director: Josh Straub (USA/8 minutes) A lovely and charming tale of a humble caterpillar trapped in a bug collector’s jar and in need of a helping hand. PEN’ PALS Director: Art Curry (USA/5 minutes) A pencil takes part in a duel with a technologically superior graphic pen, for the affections of his belle. PUMPKIN OF NYEFAR, THE Directors: Tod Polso & Mark Oftedal (USA & THAILAND/8 minutes) The Prince of a faraway land falls in love with a beautiful Pumpkin and must choose between his Kingdom and true love. SMALL ANT SYNDROME Director: Ann-Marie Denalam (AUSTRALIA/3 min.) One-upmanship between a big ant and his smaller counterpart has disastrous, albeit slapstick, results. STARS! STARS! STARS! Director: Gary McGivney (USA/10 minutes) Come along for the ride! Meet the planets, the starscape and the universe in this poetic film that introduces astronomy in a unique and memorable way.
