Ballet of a Lonely Heart

Lost Boys

Lost Boys looks at some of the brutal realities that comprise the everyday life of Vancouver’s homeless through the eyes of one man who has found companionship, friendship, wisdom, and laughter on the streets of East Hastings where many are lost.

Not My Age

When a young-at-heart Korean Grandma breaks her leg on a nightly adventure with her Granddaughter, she fights for one more spray paint extravaganza in the dead of night.

The Ecstatic

When musician and multidisciplinary artist Ruby Singh met the Khan brothers of Rajasthan Josh, it was more than just worlds colliding - it was a spark of connection. A spark which connected the musical forms of hip-hop and Qawwali, connected humans across borders, and connected souls across time and space. This documentary follows the meeting and collaboration of Ruby and Rajasthan Josh over the decade of the 2010s, and how their first album release, and friendship, was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mena Brea: A Techno-Dysmorphic Tale

Mena’s paranoia keeps her trapped in her apartment, so she turns to a new bio-implant, My Achelois, which is supposed to cure all her emotional problems.

Dendro

Two strangers wake up on a mysterious moon-colony lush with vegetation and are greeted by a sentient orb.

Meddle

Acclaimed Haida Manga artist, Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, pushes the boundaries of the art world by challenging the divide between contemporary and so-called “Native Art”. With humour, kinetic innovation and expansion of traditional and contemporary forms, Yahgulanaas directly confronts the tension he identifies as arising from a legacy of historic racism that persists within and beyond the Western Art World. Drawing from influences on both shores of the North Pacific and his place in today’s world, Yahgulanaas's work addresses the seminal issues of our time.

Elegy

A sensory, lyrical, and gnomic exploration of memory and loss.
