An Adventurous Afternoon (2013)
Giant Fox and William Honda just wanted to have a nice coffee together, but the afternoon turns out more adventurous than expected.

Foreign Bodies (2013)
Foreign Bodies is based on the myth of the 'transparent body' conveyed by modern medical imaging (CT, MRI, cryosection) to sustain the viewer the feeling of strangeness that can sometimes inspire him his own body.

Absent Minded (2013)
A child's daydream during a school lesson is abruptly interrupted by the teacher. The instructor threatens to cut off the young pupil's ear to encourage concentration and prevent further escapes into the realms of imagination.

Hasta Santiago (2013)
An eventful journey on the legendary St. James Way.

Through the Hawthorn (2014)
Three characters, three perspectives, three directors. A session between a psychiatric, a schizophrenic patient and his mother.

The Age of Curious (2013)
Three teens face their inner wildness on a dreamlike journey when they decide to peek under the hair of God.

Wonder (2014)
The 365 days animation consists of sequence of 8760 pictures, all different shape and color, hand-drawn by the director every day in 365 days. This is the ultimate analog approach by the abstract animated film creator in digital era.

Patch (2014)
An experimental animated short film using abstract painting to explore the tension field between abstraction and recognizability.

No Fish Where to Go (2014)
A civil war breaks out. A little girl is forced to leave home with her family. Her painful exodus is illuminated by her friendship with a schoolgirl who belongs to another clan. A modern tale about the consequences of intolerance.

Man on the Chair (2014)
Man on the chair is tormented and constantly doubts his very own existence.

Interview (2014)
A dimwitted young man arrives at the interview for the most important job of all time. He does not know what the job is about but he knows that he wants it. In spite of nervousness and confusion, he retains a completely irrational level of optimism and is determined to make a good impression. Through the cruel and ridiculous methods of the unwavering interviewers, he is tested in outrageous ways to determine his qualities. As the interview progresses towards absolute absurdity, a choice which will eventually affect the entire mankind has to be made.

Bus Story (2014)
This funny short animation was written and created by Tali (At Home with Mrs. Hen) and is inspired by the filmmaker's misadventures as a school bus driver in the Eastern Townships. Our protagonist dreams of becoming a bus driver in order to cruise down quiet country lanes and connect with nature, her young charges and their parents. But her idyllic view of her new job is sorely tested after she meets her surly boss, named Killer, and discovers that winding roads can prove treacherous in winter, especially with a faulty clutch. Through her cheeky humour and oblique look at the reality of people living in the Quebec countryside, Tali delivers a film that is unique, witty and touching.
