Mr. Hublot
France/Luxembourg
Mr. Hublot lives in a world where everything is mechanical — including pets. It’s a universe where the giant scale of machines and the relentless use of salvaged materials reign supreme. Mr. Hublot, a withdrawn, idiosyncratic character with OCD, must break out of his shell when a robot dog is left abandoned on the curb outside the place where he lives. The film won the 2014 Academy Award for best animation. Written, produced and directed by Laurent Witz.

A little girl wants a puppy … real bad. Her obsession is driving her parents crazy. Will her persistence break through her parents’ stone cold hearts?

West of the Moon
USA
The memory of a long lost love triggers an old man to recall the odd set of circumstances that led to his having a grenade as a heart and a monkey inside his head.

Principal cast: Jacob Whitkin, Michael Garbe, Amber Noelle and Christopher Tomafelli.
