Help / USA (Directed by Val Lauren, 1st Project) 38 mins - 2008 - Follow Roman on the night that he embarks on a desperate mission to save his dying mother's life. (Suivez romaine dans la nuit qu'il se lance dans une mission desesperee pour sauver sa mere mourante de la vie.) - European Premiere Everything Is Ordinary / USA (Directed by Noelle Brower) 15 mins - 2008 - In Everything Is Ordinary, a family waits for its patriarch to die amid the petty dramas that make up their lives. Throughout, the little girl, Sarah, just wants to share her discoveries, but can't pull the adults away from their own concerns. In the end she connects with the only person able to hear her. This is a work of memory and how, when we look back on the big events in our lives, what so often comes to mind are the small details of what we were doing at the time. In this sense, everything is ordinary. Because in the moment of extreme emotion, we cannot truly reflect on what is happening. There is no perspective. Only the little girl can truly connect. - International Premiere The Eggs / Russian Federation (Directed by Kirill Kemnits) 16 mins - 2008 - Tania knows for good that her mother is no fun to be with, but she can't leave old ill woman living alone. She tries her best but gets only nagging in return. Suddenly, a little accident dissolves long and deep conflict between the mother and her daughter. KINGSLAND #1 THE DREAMER / UK (Directed by Tony Grisoni, 1st Project) 22 mins - 2008 - The moon looks down. A stranger arrives in the city looking for work, love and respect. We travel with him; briefly dipping into other lives, treading a tragically inevitable road that leads him back to the beginning. (La lune surplombe la ville. Un etranger vient d'y penetrer, y recherchant travail, amour et respect. Nous plongeons avec lui parmi les rencontres et les decouvertes, en suivant son chemin tragique, qui le ramene inevitablement au tout debut de son parcours.)
