A Time of Mice and Hubris

Montreal, 1888. Stephanie is a young girl with a gift for the sciences. But despite her aptitudes and intelligence, she is unable to make a place for herself in the misogynous and phallocratic world of a university. She nevertheless helps her mentor, Professor Beaumont, to develop a prototype time machine. Unfortunately, the demonstration in the university laboratories proves disastrous. Rector Fenwick fires Professor Beaumont, which further humiliates Stephanie. However, she does manage to resolve the issues with the prototype in a second time machine built at Beaumont’s home. With the Rector and the members of his Committee coming to witness a final demonstration, Stephanie will, in her own way, avenge herself from her detractors. A TIME OF MICE AND HUBRIS is Quebec's first steampunk film.

Ghosts with Shit Jobs

In 2040, a generation of Torontonians have grown up after the economic collapse of the west. The movie consists of episodes of a documentary series popular in mainland China about the bad jobs some white people have -- the plucky and resilient souls unlucky enough to be born into the slums of North America are both amusing and moving to the Chinese audience. Oscar is a digital janitor, and has to manually cover up logos for copyright reasons in the future's answer to Google StreetView maps. Gary and Karen assemble robot baby dolls for the children of the wealthy in Asia. Anton and Toph are spider silk collectors. Serina is human spam and makes a living by mentioning brands and products in casual conversation.

Planet Planet: Corruption

In a distant galaxy, in the year 2189, the REPUBLIC OF PLANETRIA has been compromised. Unknowingly to the people, a secret society, having built itself up for centuries, has officially taken over PLANET PLANET's government. Democracy has long been eradicated, and each 'elected' ruler since the society's takeover is unwillingly forced to do their deeds: enact progressively more controversial, free-will-stripping changes to an already impoverished world nation. Its most recent ruler, GOVERNMENT MAN, declares the worst act yet.
