    FILM DETAILS:

    CAR LADY
    AND BIKE GIRL

    Australia, 7 min., dir. Maria Theodorakis

    Two women - one rich, one definitely not - head on a collision course of chemicals, class and cash. When snow turns to sludge in downtown Toronto, life's a bitumen.

    FOR ALL THE MARBLES

    CAN, 11 min., dir. Kris Booth

    It’s recess, and ten-year-old Jeff reveals his prized cat’s eye marble in a bid to win the ‘Universal Marble Championship’. But when the schoolyard bully grabs and launches it to the other side of the playground, Jeff must cross a schoolyard fraught with danger in order to reclaim his marble.

    CIRCO OSCURO

    USA, 18 min., dir. Tania Esmeralda Padilla

    Two puppeteers travel into the forest to unleash a circus from a magical trunk. There, in the chaos of a dancing skeleton circus barker, shape-shifting opera singer and a gravity-defying serpentine dancer, a little marionette girl learns how to love.

    COFFEEEE

    USA, 18 min., dir. Tania Esmeralda Padilla

    A day in the life of a coffee fanatic who can't quite function normally without a few pots. In this classically animated short, things go from bad to worse as something as simple as getting a cup of coffee unexpectedly becomes a test of self control.
