A woman listens to tapes from an old tape recorder. She listens carefully, as if each sound carries a hidden message, a secret only she can unveil. The different sounds take on new meanings as she listens repeatedly, uncovering layers of hidden messages that were not immediately apparent. The crackles and glitches in the recordings create an atmosphere of mystery. With each noise and distortion, she starts to wonder if there might be something more to these recordings than meets the ear. As she stares at the tapes, watching them spin around and around, she becomes convinced that there's a puzzle waiting to be solved. She carefully removes the tapes from the tape player, holding them in her hands.

View of the Naviglio Grande: the tolling of the bells of the Church of San Cristoforo marks the beginning of a new day in a deserted Milan. A restaurateur receives an order: a vegetable aspic. The bakelite telephone placed on the counter rings: someone on the other side of the receiver makes sure that the order is sent as quickly as possible. A rider's rest is interrupted by a notification on his mobile phone: he has to deliver a vegetable aspic. The rider immediately springs into action by going to the sinister-looking restaurant. Waiting for him behind the counter, a bizarre restaurateur who delivers the dish inside a transparent box. The fearless rider begins his journey on the Milanese cobbles towards his destination. The tension that accompanies the trembling aspic inside the delivery box is interrupted by the abrupt gap between the cobbles and the asphalt which allows the rider to proceed carefree. The rider having arrived at his destination, holds the irreparably destroyed aspic in his hands. An interminable wait is interrupted by a sharp blow. The body of the unconscious rider is dragged inside the house. On a long and richly laid table, full of 80s-style dishes, a bloody meat aspic triumphs. The voice of a journalist grappling with the daily death count, recommends staying at home. AWARDS:

The year was 2081 and everybody was finally equal. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger than anybody else, quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th & 213th amendments to the Constitution and the unceasing vigilance of the agents of the United States Handicapper General. They were not only equal before God & the law, everybody was equal every which way. Harrison Bergeron is an adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's short story by the same name.

Like the feisty Scarlett O'Hara, Noreen Cooke took control of her life, seizing opportunities and making the best of every situation that came her way. Born in the West of Ireland in 1933, the youngest of nine, her family moved to London but returned to the family farm when WWII broke out in 1939. With few educational or employment opportunities in rural Ireland she moved back to London in the early 50s like thousands of other women and forged a new life. Interspersed with archival footage, interviews and her daughter's poetry, the documentary presents one woman's story of immigration and assimilation that reflects those of millions of people after the war and into the 21st Century.

Evelyn and Papa live difficult, lonely lives on one of the many forested farms of 1930s rural Virginia. With almost empty stables, the recent passing of Mama, and a long-term injury for Evelyn, they both rely on Possum, their beloved horse. Disaster strikes one day when a rabid wolf wanders onto their property. Evelyn, her bad foot stuck under the tree stump she was helping move, struggles to cut Possum free from his harness. Even when freed, Possum stands his ground, protecting Evelyn and drawing the wolf away. Papa downs the wolf with his shotgun, but not before Possum gets bitten. Though Evelyn wants to travel for rabies medicine, Papa has made that trip before: for Mama. Papa knows it’s nearly hopeless, and despite Evelyn’s anger, convinces her to stay. Evelyn spends one last night with Possum. The next morning, when Papa prepares to put Possum down, a brokenhearted Evelyn steps forward to do it herself. The two separate, grieving the loss of one of their best friends. A short film created with the innovative spirit of independent filmmaking, Possum showcases excellent new talent while exploring the effects of difficult decisions on even the closest relationships.
