Rosie
Gail Maurice, ON, Narrative, 16m
When Rosie’s Mom dies she needs somewhere to live. The
only relative to be found is Fred (Frédérique) – tough, street-
smart, and currently working in a sex shop, though not for
long. Her two best friends, Flo and Mo, are drag queens,
and when the adult store goes up in flames the colourful
foursome must do what they have to to survive. A quirky
family of fringe dwellers is born!
LAST DAYS OF THE MAN OF
TOMORROW
Niklas Hlawatsch, Germany, Mockumentary, 30m
This is the tumultuous story of Manivelle, an automaton
whose rise and fall mirrors that of Lebanon itself. Once the
wonder of his age, today Manivelle is a rusty and mostly
forgotten curiosity. Could the immortal “Man of Tomorrow“
really be dying and if so, what are his regrets?

(Between iron and earth)
Marten Berkman, Yukon
Stereo 3D video installation, 2:29
In the alcove at the back of the Ballroom. Open between screenings.
We come from the earth, and we pull iron along with us.
Cloaked in this skin, are we able to return?
