The Big Snit, Oscar® nominee: Director- Richard Condie- One day in the life of a squabbling, Scrabble-playing couple unaware that a nuclear war is going on just outside their house.
· Blackfly, Oscar® nominee: Director – Cordell Barker - A folksinger recounts his battle with the pesky insect in the woods of north Ontario. By Christopher Hinton.
· The Cat Came Back, Oscar® nominee: The hilarious attempts to get rid of a little yellow cat.Get a Job: Director -Brad Caslor What's worse than being unemployed and having to look for work?
· Getting Started: Procrastination is taken to new heights in this absurd tale of a man avoiding piano practice.
· Juke-Bar: Director- Martin Barry- A musical comedy that rocks to a big-band beat, combining puppet animation with live action. Winner of a dozen international awards.
· The Lump: Director- John Weldon- A short unattractive man develops an attractive lump on top of his head. By simply buttoning his shirt over his face he changes his life! An animated parody on the superficiality of those qualities that lead to popularity and power.
· Special Delivery, Oscar® winner: Ralph's failure to shovel the front stairs leads to a dead mailman and a vanishing wife. By John Weldon and Eunice Macaulay.
Lights for Gita- Director - Michel Vo -2001, 7 Minutes: This animated short is the story of Gita, an 8-year-old girl who can't wait to celebrate Divali - the Hindu festival of lights - in her new home in Canada. But it's nothing like New Delhi, where she comes from. The weather is cold and grey and a terrible ice storm cuts off the power, ruining her plans for a party. Obviously, a Divali celebration now is impossible. Or is it? As Gita experiences the glittering beauty of the icy streets outside, the traditional festival of lights comes alive in a sparkling new way.
How people got Fire-Director - Daniel Janke -2008, 16 Minutes
In the village of Carcross, in the Tagish First Nation, Grandma Kay invites the local children into her kitchen and tells them the traditional tale of how Crow brought fire to people. As the story unfolds in this animated short, we also meet 12-year-old Tish, an introspective, talented girl who feels drawn to the elder’s kitchen. Here, past and present blend, myth and reality meet, and the metaphor of fire infuses all in a location that lies at the heart of this Native community’s spiritual and cultural memory.
Big Drive-Director – Anita Lebeau- 2011, 9 Minutes
This short animation film tells the story of a family road trip across the Canadian prairies set in the 1970s. In an era before in-car movies and video games, 4 sisters squeeze into the back of the family car for a long journey. While the parents keep a steady watch on the road ahead, restlessness gradually gives way to mayhem in the car’s close quarters. Just before the ride becomes unbearable, the sisters are inspired to combine their creative energy and the big drive becomes an even bigger adventure.
