Featuring a mix of animated and live-action shorts, this alternately touching, wacky and hilarious group of films is sure to delight. In “I Am Round,” a girl who is born round in a world of squares doesn’t seem to fit society’s mold, and a sleepy city’s “Swimming Pool” provides the perfect meet-cute for two sneaky skinny dippers. “Café Regular, Cairo” offers a frank and honest look at modern Arab society as a couple meets at a café to talk through the first crisis in their relationship, while a nebbishy “Little Dad” bumbles his way through imparting an important life lesson to his crossdressing seven-year-old son.

Description

Set in a year 4 classroom in 1981, Julian explores a day in the life of a 9 year old boy. Julian’s need to speak his truth and his strong urge to do what he thinks is right begins to unravel his world. Throughout the day Julian is forced to deal with a bully, an impatient teacher turning a blind eye and a principal with a secret. As Julian faces these challenges we begin to see the qualities that will inform the man he is to become.
