Aria for a Cow<\/strong>
\nA musical plea from the often neglected and underappreciated barnyard inhabitants is brought to life by a never-heard before song by Howard Ashman & Alan Menken. (Dan Lund, USA 2015, 7 min)
\nCows (Moosic Video)<\/strong>

\nHome<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s hard to leave your childhood home and the memories you\u2019ve created there. Some things we are forced to leave behind and then there is the rest we\u2019ll always keep close to our hearts. (Saschka Unseld, USA 2014, 5 min)
\nLava<\/strong>

\nMy Big Brother<\/strong>

\nThis is a Cinema by the Bay film.<\/em>

\nThe Story of Percival Pilts<\/strong>
\nA whimsical story about living an impractical life based on a childhood promise, where the phrase \u201creaching for the stars\u201d takes on a whole new vertigo-inducing meaning. (Janette Goodey, John Lewis, Australia\/New Zealand 2015, 9 min)
\nSuper Sounds<\/strong>
