Call It Fiction| Alex Rose | USA | 14:00
In composing his application essay to grad school, David Rubin plunges into the darkly comedic events of his childhood, wherein he witnessed - and perhaps even caused - the divorce of his parents.

Sendas Huastecas: Huapangos | John Orentlicher| USA | 28:30
Sendas Huastecas: Huapangos was taped in various villages and towns in the Sierra Madre mountains west of Tampico on the gulf of Mexico. The Huasteca region has produced this music in some form for centuries as dance music. Unique to the music is the rhythm created for dancing on a wood platporm. Today, the music survives as a way for the field hands to live in more urban areas with wages that are unattainable in manual labor.

What the Water Saw | Vanessa Woods | USA | 3:00
What the Water Saw explores a mystery at the depths of sea. The film is structured to mimic the ocean's moods, creating a varied psychological space for the viewer. Equally important, the visual construction of the film moves between form and formlessness. This play between form (appearance) and formlessness (withdrawal) echoes both the ocean's tides, and the idea of light and dark or creation and destruction (death).

On Alzheimer's | Vanessa Woods | USA | 8:00
On Alzheimer's is an experimental animation piece that explores my grandmother's diagnosis of the disease. The film was created by animating photographic stills taken in my grandmother's apartment in Corsica in combination with old family photographs, her psysical objects (pearls and gloves), my diary text and various other collected imagery.

Butterfly | Corin Hardy | UK | 30:00
Butterfly is a clay-animation tale of a tragic individual. When ‘The Boy’ thinks his life is over before having been given the chance to live it he discovers hope at a point when it seems there isn’t any left...

World of Strangers + Brain Fingerprinting | Tom Sherman + Bernhard Loibner | Canada + USA| 5:00
Nerve Theory is the collective identity of Bernhard Loibner & Tom Sherman. The trans-continental sound/video/voice duo was formed in 1998, and has since collaborated on numerous live performances, video tapes, radio pieces, network appearances, and sound/voice recordings.

Glass Box | Dominika Ferenz | Australia |14:00
Glass Box is primarily a dialogue between migrant and viewer, a reminiscence, a confession. Layers of meaning, remnants of memory, a symphony of voices and images combine to create a universality of the migrant experience as stories cross and recross, all different but essentially the same. It evokes the nostalgia, the confusion, the sense of displacement, sadness, but also the joy of the migrant experience.

Symphonie #1 op.09 | Jeremy Laffon | France | 3:40
Directly extracted from a happening, Symphonie #1 in an intervention based on the phenomenon of immanence on the junction of various flows acting upon one another.
