For younger viewers, a professional voice over will read subtitles aloud for each film, much like being read a story, through headphones. The films include:
10:30 AM - Sauvages: Claude Barras's follow-up film to his Oscar-winning clay animation film
My Life as a Zucchini is set in Borneo, where two young cousins and the members of their village protest against the destruction of their tropical forest. If you know anything about Borneo, the world's third largest island, over-development is the biggest problem. The film's stop motion animation is just astounding.
