Peace in Our Time is a political satire about living in the USA under the intrusive monitoring of the Patriot Act. Javier, an ordinary young Canadian living in New York City, lives in fear that the US government can monitor everything people do and say. One morning, during an Internet meeting, his Norwegian colleagues, Arnie and Alfred, take their jokes too far and Javier learns that surveillance can become dangerous (13 min. Directed by Rich Devaney.). Absolute Zero: an account of the grim and mysterious death by hypothermia of a man trapped inside a refrigerated meat wagon, this Australian story is told using a combination of archival and imagined reenactments on the man's final hours (27 min. Directed by Alan Woodruff.). Carpe Diem: its just another day at the office for John Wilson, or at least he though it was. Strange letters keep appearing as he goes about his day at work, while the eerie message sends him into a fit (9 min. Directed by Michael Corish.). Silver Tongues: a wandering couple travels the road, becoming different people in each town, playing a gleefully sadistic game of deceit. These con artists then prey on senile dementia sufferers, convincing the patients that they are beloved family members. But no one is quite who they seem to be in this unusual film (25 min. Directed by Simon Arthur.). Rebel Song: a woman and two men play out their broken lives amongst the swaying trees, singing hymns of love, lust and murder. An old and feeble farmer acquires a strong man worker by way of debt payment. Not only does he ask the man to do his yard work, but he also requests that he help satisfy his woman. Yet, as the man and wife become increasingly terrorized, they form a child-like bond, whispering thoughts of escape together, out of the forest (15 min. Directed by Simon Arthur.). English Language (With English Subtitles): a witty, black-and-white film of the classic story of a heartbroken boy whose girlfriend has left him because of the lack of communication in their relationship, but eventually the girl returns. This story may seem like ones typical romantic comedy; however, it is not because it contains English subtitles, which becomes a third character in the narrative. The subtitles reveal information, summarize the story, and even question other characters. The role of the subtitles creates a new twist on a run-of-the-mill love story (19 min. Directed by Tim Plester.).
