<h2>Films Showing: </h2><h3>She&#x27;s the Protagonist</h3>The Protagonist, by her given name, is presented to us in her natural environment : a jungle, sadly, often lacking in density. But today enough is enough! Being the mother, the secretary, the lover, the nanny, the baby bottle, the side piece of the main male character is no longer enough for our dear Protagonist ! Put on &quot;mute&quot; after the allocated time for female* characters in a film was reached, she runs away with her friend Voice-Over for a new journey with plenty of humour.YEAR | 2021RUNTIME | 14 minutesLANGUAGE | FrenchCOUNTRY | BelgiumDIRECTOR | Sarah Carlot JaberPRODUCER | Sarah Carlot JaberSCREENWRITER | Sarah Carlot JaberCINEMATOGRAPHER | Charlotte Marchal<h3>Shadow Players</h3>Polaris is trapped in an underwater cocoon and the ocean around her is dead. So falling in love with this story traveller is a really bad idea. And he refuses to travel on, tired of all the sad endings out there. Alas Polaris’ story is ending, too. Cracks begin to break across the story traveller’s skin like they tear across the hull of the cocoon. He will die if he stays. To safe his life she comes up with the beginning of a new story, one into which only he can travel.YEAR | 2021RUNTIME | 19 minutesLANGUAGE | EnglishCOUNTRY | GermanyDIRECTOR | Mel PiperPRODUCER | Mel PiperSCREENWRITER | Mel PiperCAST | Amy Molloy, Ruben Van keerCINEMATOGRAPHER | Bella HalbenPRODUCTION DESIGN | Daniela HerzbergSOUND DESIGN | Simone WeberMUSIC | Owain Llwyd<h3></h3><h3>Davey&#x27;s Lullaby</h3>When Davey, a spirited, middle-aged man with Down Syndrome, awakes from a nightmare after his tracheostomy tube becomes dislodged, his mother, with whom he lives, comes to his aid. The next day follows their normal routine of breakfast, medications, and tracheostomy suctioning, all of which he depends on his mother to do for him. That evening the nightmares return, but his mother doesn&#x27;t come to help him as usual. Davey checks on her only to find she has died. The gravity of the situation eluding him, he does his best to go on with his normal routine until he realizes he needs help. Eventually, his school caretaker finds him and takes him to the hospital, but without any living relatives, Davey&#x27;s future is uncertain.YEAR | 2022RUNTIME | 9 minutesLANGUAGE | EnglishCOUNTRY | USADIRECTOR | Adam DeyoePRODUCER | Alexandra Chang &amp; Adam DeyoeSCREENWRITER | Adam DeyoeCAST | Casey Rings Powell, Mary Rings<h3></h3><h3>Valentine</h3>With gender and identity in flux, Corey and Mia struggle to redefine their relationship.YEAR | 2021RUNTIME | 10 minutesLANGUAGE | EnglishCOUNTRY | USADIRECTOR | Beck Kitsis &amp; Chris McNabbPRODUCER | Katy Drake Bettner, Zach Fleming, &amp; Beck KitsisSCREENWRITER | Beck Kitsis &amp; Chris McNabb<h3>Act Of God</h3>Stuart, a disabled man, is in a tight spot.
