Listed in the order they will be presented:
MAGIC CANDIES- Daisuke Nishio, 21 min., Japan (Japanese with English subtitles) Trailer
The other kids at the park never ask Dong-Dong to play. But he's fine just playing marbles on his own. One day he goes out in search of new marbles, but ends up buying a bag of colorful, marble-shaped candies instead. But the first time he pops one of them into his mouth, he's astonished to hear his old sofa start talking to him! For the next few minutes, until the candy melts away, he has the most unexpected and amazing conversation of his life. Realizing that these are no ordinary candies, Dong- Dong looks at the rest of colorful sweets. Who else will he be able to talk to, and what else will he learn, through these magic candies?
IN THE SHADOW OF THE CYPRESS - Hossein Molayemi and Shirin Sohani, 20 min., Iran (no dialogue) Trailer
Living in a house by the sea with his daughter, a former captain who has post-traumatic stress disorder leads a tough and secluded life.
YUCK! - Loïc Espuche, 13 min., France (French with English subtitles) Trailer
Yuck! Adults kiss each other on the mouth, and children find it disgusting! What's more, you can see it from afar: when people are about to kiss, their lips become all pink and shiny. Little Léo makes jokes about it, as do the other kids at the summer camp. But he has a secret he won't tell his friends: his own mouth has actually begun glistening. And, in reality, Léo desperately wants to give kissing a try.
