An amorous couple prepares for a picnic in the country. But the man's rage at a stuck doorknob leads to tragedy for both of them.
In this animated short, filmmaker Chris Hinton and composer Michael Oesterle leap back and forth between picture and sound. The dynamic movement of Hinton's visual art dances in syncopation with the bold musical strokes of an original modern classical composition. Without words.
A lively classroom discussion starter, this animated film uses satirical humor to present some of the difficulties graduating students may encounter when looking for work. The film tells of two young people whose career ambitions seem constantly to be thwarted. Their scramble to make a living leads both of them through a succession of odd jobs and, by a strange twist of fate, to a remote lumbering camp. In following their picaresque adventures, the film explores the attitudes needed for surviving in an uncertain world and promotes reflection on how to bridge the gap between ideals and reality.

A tale of intolerance and where it all ends, told in an animated cartoon about a king and his kingdom, and bigotry that had its day. The illustrations and dialogue are light and amusing, but that does not mask the moral of the story: that unless we tolerate individual differences--even the king's nervous twitch--peace may only come when all are behind bars.
Canada 3-D is a 60 second video, 3-D whirlwind tour of what it means to be Canadian, through the lens of director and animator, George Geertsen. Apparently it means a lot--everything from early explorers to one room schoolhouses, the Depression, the World Wars, the Baby Boom, EXPO 67, sports highlights and the one experience that every single Canadian shares: winter! A film without words.
