A fresh take on reworking the past. Experience how nostalgia infiltrates and manifests visually throughout these four distinctive films.

Dumplings / 餃子

KIMBERLY HO, CANADA
Youth Category

Seemingly quotidian, there's more than meets the eye. Dumpling skin without filling is like a coin with only one side. It's everything and nothing. It's that thought on the tip of your tongue, forever receding from sight. Dumpling / 餃子 is a visual mediation on how we hold two distinct things in tandem, to fully inhabit two seemingly opposite spaces. Is this the quintessential Asian diasporic experience? Is duality the difficult gift we are offered?

Soup

CORINA ANDRIAN, UNITED KINGDOM
Youth Category

A soup made of souls melting in a gloomy afternoon, rekindling innocent connections through play. Is childhood the safest place where you can revisit memories? What happened when you broke a bowl for the first time as a kid?

Creative Process

TAMAR TABORI, CANADA
Youth Category

As isolation slowly but surely became the new normal, I found my creative process in a state of limbo. Creating content in any capacity felt forced, foreign, and fake. I looked for inspiration in things I had immediate access to: my old school journals. Filled with quotes and ideas shared by various professors and fellow students, I began to extract those specifically talking about and relating to "The Creative Process". Taken out of context, I began to find comic relief in the quotes, linking the words to make a sort of inner dialogue an artist may have.
