Niemand anders als Colin Wilson war künstlerischer Berater bei dem animierten Dokumentarfilm "25 April" über die Schlacht von Gallipoli.

On the 25th of April, 1915, thousands of young men from New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, and Newfoundland (thirty-four years before it joined Canada) stormed the beaches on the Gallipoli peninsula in what is now Turkey. By the time the campaign ended, over eight months later, tens of thousands had died. Although the Gallipoli battles had no impact on the outcome of the First World War, the campaign was a turning point for New Zealand and other Commonwealth nations in the forging of their own identities.

"La Jeune Fille sans mains" basiert auf dem Märchen "Das Mädchen ohne Hände" der Brüder Grimm. Zu "Psiconautas" verrät die Festivalseite:

Two teens, Birdboy and Dinky, survive the ecological disaster that devastated their island. Birdboy is deeply affected by the death of his father and eaten away by angst. Dinky decides to take off on a risky journey in the dark and hostile world and invites his bird friend to come along.

Rosie Ming is a young Canadian poet who is invited to a poetry festival in Shiraz, Iran, where she is unexpectedly confronted with all these different truths about the father who she thought abandoned her as a young child. It's a story about being curious. Staying open. And finding your own voice through the magic of poetry.
