Stranded on a distant planet, a lonely astronaut sends out a signal in search of human contact.

Rouff | Isaac Switzer, Director | 7 min. | Germany, 2017. 
Stan, a cartoonist, is having a creative crisis. In the past, he had success with his comic series about "Rouff“, an adventurous dog. But now he has a problem: a sequel is needed. Crumpled balls of paper pile up in his trashcan. On one of these paper balls, the half drawn dog Rouff comes to life. Bewildered, he examines his surroundings. But as he tries to move, he notices something: He's missing a leg.

A darkness looms.

Only Lovers Leave To Die | Vladimir Kanic, Director | 7 min. | Croatia, Canada, 2016. 
A film about a girl whose brain smells like cookies, her imaginary dog and a world made of painted film stock.  Love, death and tears included, of course.

Poles Apart tells the story of an unlikely meeting between Nanuk, a tough female polar bear, and Aklak, an enthusiastic male grizzly bear, brought together by their changing habitats. The lack of food in a melting Arctic has left the solitary Nanuk desperately hungry. When the hopeful and eager Aklak crashes into Nanuk's world, she has to decide if the naïve grizzly bear is her food or her friend.

The Head Vanishes
| Franck Dion, Director | 9 min. | Canada, France, 2016. 
Jacqueline has lost her mind a bit, but whatever, for her trip to the seaside, she has decided to take the train by herself, like a big girl!

A Narrative Film | Michael Edwards, Director | 8 min. | USA, 2016. 
The most narrative narrative never narrated. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end…. It is at once both a three-act assault on the conceit of the traditional narrative, as well as a futile attempt to escape the narrative impulse of cinema.

The Full Story | Daisy Jacobs, Director | 8 min. | United Kingdom, 2017.
Toby is selling his childhood home. Walking through empty rooms, he is assailed by memories of happiness unravelling, break-down, and the helplessness and rage of being child. Why do close ties break and loved ones leave? Can we ever know the full story? And what do you do when your family's gone?

Child Dream | Christophe Gérard, Director | 11 min. | France, 2016. 
Floating barges, water that suddenly takes human form and rainfall that leaves puddles deep enough to drown in...  Is this merely a child's dream? 

Fox and the Whale | Robin Joseph | 12 min. | Canda, 2016. 
The tale of a curious fox who goes in search of an elusive whale.  A journey of pursuit, longing and discovery. 

THIS IS A STUDENT SCREENING.
