Look Up
A hopeful look at how technology changes our perception of the world around us, this film follows Samuel who is challenged to give up his phone for a week. Boredom and emotional distance soon turn to an exciting new view of the world around him.
World's Greatest Dad
After his daughter makes him a "World's Greatest Dad" bracelet, a distracted father sets out to do a long list of errands. After several encounters with another man sporting a similar bracelet, the father comes to realize where his attention should lie. A touching story that urges us to take a step back and appreciate the ones we love.
The Golden League
Every winter in St. John's, Newfoundland, a group of women, largely new to the sport and ranging in age from late teens to seventies, meet once a week to play recreational ice hockey. The Golden League is a heartwarming story of community-building, friendship, and sport.
Philippe, a Lake and a Dream
A sedentary father sets the lofty goal of swimming across Lac Saint-Jean with his daughter. This powerful film is not just about a 32km swim, it’s about resilience, family, and community. Phillipe proves that working towards something with the ones you love is worth much more than ever reaching the finish line.
