Step into a world where plants push through city cracks, history comes alive through stories and stone, and childhood dreams sparkle on the beach. This program brings together short films about nature’s resilience, childhood wonder, moving animals, and the many ways people and places connect across time and space. These stories help us ask big questions about history, nature, and how people connect to the places they live.

This is a kids program.

I Like Girls, the film adaptation of her graphic novel about sexual identity, has screened at more than 40 international festivals, winning top honours at the 2016 Ottawa International Animation Festival. Diane Obomsawin publishes graphic novels under the pseudonym Obom with Drawn & Quarterly, which TIME calls “the most elegant comics publisher in North America.”
