- Lynn Smith cooking up big things (Soup of the Day)
- Luc Chamberland paying tribute to a one-of-a-kind Canadian cartoonist (Seth’s Dominion)
- the beautifully animated tale of a young boxer struggling with all-out rage (BAM)
- Sheldon Cohen‘s story about a “nice Jewish boy with Buddhist inclinations” who suffers a heart attack (My Heart Attack)

- Window Horses, an animated feature by Ann-Marie Fleming about poetry and identity (starring Sandra Oh in the lead role!)
