LETTER TO A PIG – Tal Kantor and Amit R. Gicelter, 17 min., France/Israel (in Hebrew)
A Holocaust survivor reads a letter he wrote to the pig who saved his life. A young schoolgirl hears his testimony in class and sinks into a twisted dream where she confronts questions of identity, collective trauma, and the extremes of human nature.

PACHYDERM– Stéphanie Clément and Marc Rius, 11 min., USA (in English)
As every summer, Louise is entrusted to her grand-parents for a few days of vacation in the country. The green grass of the garden, the swimming in the lake, the fishing with Grandpa, everything seems as sweet as Grandma’s strawberry pies. Yet this year, the snow will fall in summer and a monster will die.

NINETY-FIVE SENSES – Jerusha Hess and Jared Hess, 13 min., USA (in English)
An ode to the body’s five senses delivered by a man with little time left to enjoy them

WAR IS OVER! INSPIRED BY THE MUSIC OF JOHN & YOKO – Dave Mullins and Brad Booker, 11 min., USA
