This curated program of shorts from the WFG explores themes of movement and change, the passage of time, family memory, and cultural history. Made up of innovative works in a variety of genres, from comedy to experimental narrative to personal documentary, it includes films by pioneering WFG luminaries Guy Maddin and John Paizs, the former in a remarkable collaboration with Isabella Rossellini, the latter represented by his Canada on Screen-selected short Springtime in Greenland.
