-:30	<b>That's Magic!</b>: With beautiful cinematography and a captivating soundtrack, this musical short tells the story of a gifted but jaded magician who is all alone once the admiring audience has left. For the magician, "Only the very young and the very foolish believe in magic." One snowy night after a performance, a mysterious visitor appears and takes him on a journey he will never forget. Could it be the magician who needs a lesson in magic? [15m]
+:30: <b>The Wind Fisherman</b>: Meet the hero of Gust Town, the windiest place on Earth. Just like his father and generations before him, the Wind Fisherman spends his day “fishing” for items blown away and returning them to their owners. Though fishing may be in his blood, is it in his heart? And will curiosity sweep him away? [12m]
-:45	<b>Paul and His Wall</b>: Paul, a young agoraphobic, has built a world where he never has to leave his inner-city apartment. He lives in fear of going "out there." One day he meets his beautiful new neighbour, Bo when she accidently knocks a hole through their shared wall. Bo is more than a pretty face to Paul, and soon Paul is overcome with emotions he has never felt before. Perhaps Paul has been missing out by staying in? [12m]
+:42: <b>Dance to the Offbeat</b>: After being humiliated in a hip-hop dance class, a young African-American woman discovers the world of rhythm-less dance: dancing with no rhythm and no beat. Inspired, she enters a “Rhythmless Dancing” competition, much to the dismay of her family. This comedy offers a lighthearted look at racial stereotypes. [14m]
-:00	<b>The Graffiti of Mr Tupaia</b>: A janitor at a New Zealand elementary school quietly goes through his routines, almost invisible to those around him. One day, Mr Tupaia answers a message on a bathroom stall. Through four words scribbled on a wall, two lonely souls connect. [14m]
+:56: <b>Earano</b>: In this comic twist on the classic Cyrano de Bergerac tale, a shy, big-eared tutor named Earl longs for a romance with the lovely librarian Roxie. But the arrival of a hunky janitor puts a kink in Earl’s plans and sets into motion a sweet story of unrequited love. [13m]
-:20	<b>Counting Backwards</b>: When career-driven Joe is diagnosed with terminal leukemia on the eve of his big promotion, he re-evaluates everything. Now that his days are numbered, the questions that used to be so easy to avoid are impossible to ignore. Joe commits to living the life he always wanted, and begins a quirky relationship with Claire, the fun-loving girl of his dreams. This romance sets the stage for an imaginative, inspiring take on what life could be about if he was willing to fight for it. Counting Backwards  dares us to reach for our dreams. [91m]
+:15: <b>Mythic Journeys</b>: “Who am I?” “What is my purpose?” “Why am I here?” The answers are in myths that have been passed down from generation to generation around the world. They are the reservoir of human wisdom — the stories of life — and we are writing our own mythology as we live each day. This extraordinary multi-layered film features a myth told through stop-motion animation with puppets designed by internationally acclaimed artists and voiced by three iconic actors, Tim Curry, Mark Hamill and Lance Henriksen. Interwoven into the myth are inspiring interviews with Dr Deepak Chopra, Reverend Michael Beckwith, Dr Jean Shinoda Bolen and other luminaries. [90m]

Blending humour with serious spiritual catharsis, Mr. Cervine again brings us that sublime moment where we remember that we truly were (and are) all one. [10m]
