ANIMATED SHORTS (Running Time: 91 minutes)
Sanjay's Super Team dir. Sanjay Patel, USA, 7 minutes
Synopsis: In SANJAY'S SUPER TEAM, the new short film from Pixar Animation Studios, accomplished artist Sanjay Patel uses his own experience to tell the story of a young, first-generation Indian-American boy whose love for western pop-culture comes into conflict with his father's traditions. Sanjay is absorbed in the world of cartoons and comics, while his father tries to draw him into the traditions of his Hindu practice. Tedium and reluctance quickly turn into an awe-inspiring adventure as the boy embarks on a journey he never imagined, returning with a new perspective that they can both embrace.
World of Tomorrow dir. Don Hertzfeldt, USA, 17 minutes

Bear Story dir. Gabriel Osorio, Chile, 11 minutes

We Can't Live Without Cosmos dir. Konstantin Bronzit, Russia, 16 minutes
Synopsis: Two best friends have dreamed since childhood of becoming cosmonauts, and together they endure the rigors of training and public scrutiny, and make the sacrifices necessary to achieve their shared goal.
Prologue dir. Richard Williams, UK, 6 minutes
Synopsis: Clocking in at six minutes, PROLOGUE describes an incident in the Spartan-Athenian wars of 2,400 years ago. In it, a small girl bears witness as warriors battle to death. The dialog-free project utilizes natural sounds to complement the intense animation (entirely animated by Richard Williams himself). Williams - who is best known for his work as animation director on "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", his unfinished feature "The Thief and the Cobbler" and Academy Award-winning "A Christmas Carol "adaptation - has worked on PROLOGUE for many years in between other projects. It was finally completed this year at the Aardman Studios in Bristol, U.K.
