GAZONTO (John Greyson, 2014, 4.30)
What if the bombing of Gaza were taking place in Toronto. What would be hit? Gazonto reimagines Israel’s massive bombardment of the Israeli-occupied and besieged Gaza Strip as if it were an attack on the filmmaker’s home city Toronto.
OVERPASS (Kami Chisholm, 2014, 5.00)
Beginning with a seeming ordinary afternoon drive down a Los Angeles highway, Overpass weaves together intimate stories of histories of racial and domestic violence against the backdrop of the infamous OJ Simpson car chase in 1994.

In a dystopic future, sound technology is used to clean the air and water at the cost of the world’s most gifted artists.

A mysterious light arrives between a man and his neighbour’s door, leading to a one-way rivalry which may change the world forever.
