Larry, a 93 year-old widower confined to a Nursing Home, remembers a time when he had more spring in his step. Based on real audio recordings from 2002, animator Kristen Palana uses individually painted digital images to imagine and recreate her grandfather’s first attempts to woo his beloved Roz. Set in both 1943 and 2007, ‘Larry and Roz’ is a three and a half minute glimpse into one couple’s six decade relationship.

Kees Hoogeveen uses his horn majestically to improvise over a tongue-in-cheek suburban view of Amsterdam…

A surreal quest by a man who is to meet more than he has bargained for.

A frustrated painter searching for his muse finds her with the help of the surreal images from Belgian painter Rene Magritte.

In the summer of 1909, the stuff of family legends and world history was born. 18-year-old Giovanni Piras left his home in Mamoiada, a small village in Barbagia, Sardinia, to seek his fortune in Argentina. But his letters to home quickly became less frequent and then they broke off altogether after only a few years. And then one Sunday in the 1950’s Giovanni’s sister, Caterina, found him again. He was on the cover of a magazine as Juan Domingo Peron, President of Argentina. Nowadays, back in Sardinia, rumours still surround the fate of Giovanni in the Piras family and the fables about him in Argentina are even more grand and bizarre. So we ask the question: Who really was the legendary Juan Domingo Peron?
