Sponsored by Glenda Henifin An animated, dreamlike synchrony of sound and image that uses patterns and mandalas to explore the poetics of psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung. The film takes a deep dive into unconscious thought to express the incommunicable, and creates the experience of feeling mystery and wonder. “The soul knows bigger stories.”

Jung & Restless

Sponsored by Deborah Loober and Jane Burns A familiar song, a message in a letter, a strange bird, a vision from the past in the hall–all parts of the transition from life to death and after. In ‘Ghost Story,’ Charlie, a World War II veteran on his deathbed, played by Ed Begley Jr., tells a hospice worker about his ghost. He&nbsp; needs someone to talk to as much as he needs his ghost to guide him, as Charlie seeks connection and an understanding of the unknown.

A Ghost Story

Sponsored by Northshore Veterinary Hospital ﻿Based on the short play 'Les Câlins Cheaps' by French-Canadian playwright Annick Lefebvre, this is a story of two women grieving over the recent suicide of a mutual friend. The loss has re-colored the details of their lives, turning their respective worlds upside down. The juxtaposition of their movements through the city of Montreal reveals their response to the question of how to live with this hole in their heart. One woman’s openness to the pain counters the other’s avoidance, ultimately leading them towards an unexpected connection.
