Special Screening
In a remote village in Lapland, young Nikolas loses his family in an accident. Each family in the village decides to look after the orphaned boy for one year. At the end of each year, on Christmas Day, Nikolas shows his gratitude by making toys for the children of the families as good-bye presents. Over the years, Nikolas' adoptive families become many, and soon almost every house has presents on its doorstep on Christmas morning. When the village suffers a food shortage, the Christmas present tradition is in danger of coming to an end. This is a film for the whole family.
Recommended for ages 6 and up. Dubbed in English.

Director: Ryan Larkin Canada, 1972, 9 min Sidewalk entertainers perform a visual improvisation on music. The illustration is by a young film animator who sees life with an amused and imaginative eye.

Director: Josh Raskin In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatles fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace for his school paper. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multi-pronged animation.

Director: Claudio Morgado Escanilla "I had a sex change once, when I was six or seven years old.” The opening line of No Bikini introduces us to a young girl who defies convention during her summer swim class. Filled with humour, this film is less about defining one’s gender than it is about discovering personal strength. Screens before feature Breakfast with Scot | ||
