An animated journey between the magical pink clouds, which cannot be missed when we fall in love. Charming animation, childlike voices on soundtrack, sentimental images of flowers, animals and insects, but also of a lovely female couple, all in style which is once fetching, charming, engaging and repetitive.

1970's: A lonely divorcee, Nellie, meets widower Frank on a trip to the seaside. Nellie lets herself be swept away by the hope of connection. But as the seagulls circle overhead and Frank begins to ask too many questions, Nellie realizes she will never be able to escape a monstrous family secret.

The Outing

Sponsored by Virginia Gilkey Money ﻿Ayodele means joy, and Ayodele Casel's choreography creates a joyful celebration of the rich tradition of tap by Black women and men. Named one of the top breakout stars of the year by the New York Times just before the pandemic, choreographer Casel creates work inspired by the history of Black tap dancers who came before her. The film also makes visual the fact that as artists and engaged citizens, we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us.

Mouton Noir

Živa is inspired by the poem The Baptism on Svica (1836), a national epic about the violent Christianization of the Slovenes. Živa was a pagan goddess of love and prosperity. The meaning of her name is Life, Alive, Living. In nine semi-abstract scenes, the film shows the transformations of the goddess through her relationship to nature and to historic events, suggesting the senselessness of wars.
