AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE
As he loses his last sliver of sight, Ryan Knighton travels to an ancient church in Germany to hear the note change in the famous 639-year-long organ performance of a John Cage composition.
CARNY
CARNY offers a glimpse into the transient lives of fairground workers who live in a world of their own, trading monotonous security for the uncertain adventures of instant camaraderie, tear-stained romances and secret loneliness.
CARTS OF DARKNESS
Eccentric homeless bottle-pickers transform into rubber-burning road warriors when they race their shopping carts at 70 km/hour down the steep roads of North Vancouver. Verité-style intimacy and extreme sport cinematography craft this poignant and thrilling portrait.
TIGER SPIRIT
Anguished Korean families, separated for nearly a lifetime by the demilitarized zone, yearn for their loved ones. The director candidly synthesizes the personal and the political in revealing the painful price of power.
