This program celebrates stories of unique and ferocious folks who reject being classified or defined by stereotypes and live their authentic selves. Historic prejudices, gender journeys and coming-of-age are all explored. (Multi-national / in English or w/English subtitles / 92 mins / suggested for 10+ but appropriate for all ages.)
Animation IS magic. Giving lifeless materials the illusion of being alive can be extraordinary. You will see that the options can be endless! (Multi-national / in English or w/English subtitles / 90 mins / Appropriate for all ages)
The theme of this shorts reel is empathy, which allows us to understand and share the feelings of others anywhere in the world. Some people have it, while others...

The title says it all! We live in a world with other people. How do we feel like we fit in... or not? These films are of people (and critters) trying to figure it all out. (Multi-national / in English or w/English subtitles / 95 mins / Appropriate for all ages)
