LIVE ACTION SHORTS (Estimated Running Time: 109 minutes)
Madre Spain, 19 minutes Director: RODRIGO SOROGOYEN Producers: MARIA DEL PUY ALVARADO and RODRIGO SOROGOYEN Synopsis: A single mother receives a call from her seven-year-old son who is on vacation with his father in the French Basque Country. At first the call is a cause for joy, but soon it becomes a horrible nightmare when the child tells her that he is alone and cannot find his father who left a while ago.
Fauve Canada, 17 minutes Director: JEREMY COMTE Producers: EVREN BOISJOLI (ACHROMATIC MEDIA) and MARIA GRACIA TURGEON (MIDI LA NUIT) Synopsis: Set in a surface mine, two boys sink into a seemingly innocent power game with Mother Nature as the sole observer. Alone in the wild the two boys play around. Complicity evolves into a confrontation where one wants to have power over the other. Taking proportions larger than nature, this game will not prove as harmless as they thought.
Marguerite Canada, 19 minutes Director: MARIANNE FARLEY Producer: MARIE-HELENE PANISSET (LES FILMS DE L'HYDRE) Synopsis: An aging woman and her nurse develop a friendship that inspires her to unearth unacknowledged longing and thus help her make peace with her past.

A true story based on interview transcripts from the James Bulger case which shocked the world in 1993 and continues to incite public outrage across the UK today.
Skin USA, 20 minutes Director: GUY NATTIV Producers: JAIME RAY NEWMAN, ANDREW CARLBERG and TIM HARMS Synopsis: A small supermarket in a blue collar town, a black man smiles at a 10 year old white boy across the checkout aisle.
