A group of musically inclined ants face off against a lumberjack threatening to take down their tree in PIK PIK PIK. Being different isn't so bad in BUNNY NEW GIRL and ZEBRA. Sometimes even our family members can feel like strangers in MY BIG BROTHER, EYES, and Oscar-nominated ME AND MY MOULTON. Fantasies create new worlds and endless possibilities in 5.80 METERS, LARISA CAN FLY, and SUBMARINE SANDWICH. One special object can inspire anyone, big or small, in THE ELEPHANT AND THE BICYCLE and COOKIE-TIN BANJO, and a fly and a spider go to war in a common bathroom in MINUSCULE: THE PRIVATE LIVE OF INSECTS - BRUSHING.

BEST OF THE FEST: KID FLIX 2
Ages 9 to Adult, 65 min.
Starts at 11:15am on Saturday, Feb. 6 and 4:45pm on Thursday, Feb. 11

Old fables and myths are given a new twist in MYTHOPOLIS and TIGERS TIED UP IN ONE ROPE. Fate is in the hands of some surprising characters in JOHNNY EXPRESS and IN THE BEGINNING. The human spirit, guided by music, soars against harsh realities in THE TRUMPETER and LAYLA'S MELODY. THE SINGLE LIFE strikes a playful note when it imagines music as means of time-travel; and dogs take center stage--literally--in OH MY DOG.
