The Following Preview, Directed by: Kevin Roy, U.S. Director in Attendance
'The Following Preview' tracks the rhythms and cadence of a Hollywood movie trailer that was found in a movie theater dumpster. Hand painted color abstractions are activated across the screen. At times, the rhythm is frenetic while at other times is languid and smooth. The underlying film trailer, from the hit film 'Wild Hogs', underpins the film's dynamism and often breaks through the paint to reveal remnants of the original film. In this context the movie trailer becomes a cultural artifact, a 'throw-away' by-product of the pop culture machine, to be reused, remixed, and renewed.
De-Limited, Directed by: aravinth vince kesavamoorthy and Alan So, Canada Los Angeles Premiere

The striking urban images are foreign to her, offering a poignant juxtaposition to her mundane life. With its first person perspective climax, De-Limited asks its viewers, 'have we become too desensitized to the suffering of others through our own artistic attempts to stop it?'
