The “Trip to the Top” is a oneway journey to stardom, riches, and glory, but sometimes it is a trip to the top of a deplorable list.

Moreton Bay Penal Settlement. 1832. Finn and Mary O’shea, two Irish convicts, labour under the evils of colonial Australia – a place liberty does not yet exist.

Gekou – Dir. by Ajisa – Animation (Student – College) – 2:12 – Japan

Just by walking down a different street, the mundane daily life shifts, and a different world appears. The boundary between the two is very delicate, and what is extraordinary now may one day become ordinary. And vice versa, of course.

SECOND SEED
Second Seed – Dir. by Baye & Asa – Experimental.- 13:51 – USA

Second Seed is a dance horror film responding to D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation. It highlights a fundamental White supremacist delusion that continues to plague this country: that White people are inherently superior, and that they are politically and culturally under attack. Second Seed grapples with this White delusion.

LIKE THE ONES I USED TO KNOW
Like the Ones I Used to Know – Dir. by Annie St. Pierre – Narrative – 18:00 – Canada

Julie and her cousins ate too much sugar, Santa Claus is late and Denis, alone in his car, is anxious at the idea of setting foot in his ex-in-law’s house to pick up his children. The film is an early coming-of-age that is as squeaky as it is poetic.
