UNDARK
Axel Robin & Melissa McCracken, Canada, 2021, 8 min.
Ontario festival premiere
Inspired by the events of the Radium Girls in the 1920s, a woman’s body is taken through the motions of repetitious work and fatal radium exposure. As the bones absorb the green light, first with wonder and then resistance, the destabilizing effects sabotage the body, one fragment at a time.
CHOKABLOK
Cameron Carver, United Kingdom, 2021, 19 min.
North American festival premiere
Chase Jenkins just wants to succeed. But why does he feel like he’s always falling behind? Part playful, part neurotic, part existential, CHOKABLOK is a surreal exploration of our obsession with achievement and the perpetual anxiety of trying to keep up.
This film contains explicit language and depicts the topic of mental illness.
