From the philosophical musings of the workers who wash windows on skyscrapers to the secret lives of housecats, these award-winning shorts have garnered acclaim at some of the world’s top festivals. “Aaron Burr, Part 2” gives one of history’s villains a chance to tell his side of the story, while in “I’m Never Afraid!” an eight-year-old motorcross champion laughs in the face of danger, and in “Grandmothers,” the stories of Argentinian women whose grandchildren were “disappeared” is given a lyrical animated treatment.
Mr. Lee, an adopted stray cat, routinely disappeared from his South Carolina home for days on end. Intrigued by Mr. Lee’s whereabouts, his owner Juergen, a German engineer, created a camera designed to fit around the feline’s neck. Engineered to capture continuous photographs, Juergen hoped to discover the mysterious life of his cat. After many unsuccessful attempts, Mr. Lee returned with the camera in tact and photographic evidence of his travels. Intrigued by his findings, Juergen published the photographs on the internet, unaware that his small invention would send shockwaves around the world and alter his life forever.
