It's a sunny Sunday, and we're playing a whole bunch of micro-short films by local artists from Titmouse animation, as part of their 5-Second Day showcase! (the films are AT LEAST 5 seconds long, and are all personal projects of the artists) Family friendly before 9 pm, spicier stuff added at night.

Now till Wednesday, we're showing some old films that are perennially relevant.
None of this is new. At the end of the day, there are a limited number of ways to turn neighbour against neighbor. There are, however, infinite ways to love and connect with one another.
We love you, take care.
