WATER FLOWING TOGETHER Winner of The 2008 Jury Prize
Gwendolen Cates, USA, 2007; 77m
This splendid documentary is a compelling cinematic portrait of former NYCB Principal Dancer Jock Soto. Exploring both his Navajo Indian and Puerto Rican roots, as well as his extraordinary career as one of the ballet world's most gifted and celebrated dancers, this is a candid portrayal of an artist and a man.

La Vie est Belle
Tristan Duhamel, France, 2004; 3.13m
A character of street-art painted by Jérôme Mesnager is dancing and running on the walls of Paris, animated by Tristan Duhamel.

Fragmentation
Suzon Fuks, Australia, 2007; 5.8m
Two guys, James Cunningham, Rob Tannion, absorbed in their morning paper and their personal space, manage to find a disjointed connection with one another.

Horizon of Exile
Isabel Rocamora, United Kingdom, 2007; 22m
A journey of two women across timeless desert landscapes is punctuated by voice testimonies of Iraqi exiles. Set to a soundtrack by Jivan Gasparyan with the hypnotic voice of Surma Hamid, an Iraqi exile now living in London, the bodies betray a serene violence, travelling as though released from consciousness or gravity, falling and recuperating, haunted by an irrepressible past.

Cargo
Kelly Hargraves, USA, 2007; 4m
One man’s pit stop on the road of life, where he pauses to rest and
contemplate whether to continue the journey. Sometimes, dark, sometimes
funny and always sexy, as performer Joe Jurd fills the interior of a 1969
Buick Skylark with his physical and emotional self.

Fantastic Flower Shop
Pawel Partyka, Denmark/Poland, 2001; 15m
An award-winning animated short set in a flower shop at closing time.
