DAY & NIGHT USA/6 MIN
When Day, a sunny fellow, encounters Night, a stranger of distinctly darker moods, sparks fly! Day and Night are frightened and suspicious of each other at first, and quickly get off on the wrong foot.

Director/Writer: Teddy Newton, Producer: Kevin Reher
LET'S POLLUTE (USA / 6 mins)

THE LOST THING (Australia, UK /15 mins)

For reasons he does not explain, the boy empathises with the creature, and sets out to find a 'place' for it. Directors/Writers: Andrew Ruhemann, Shaun Tan
