“I feel, I live, I love” by Dritter.Akt
Life is a collection of memories. Every one as precious and valuable as all the others. You are what your live and your decisions made you to be. But when who you are solely becomes the state of your current emotions, but not the accumulation of memories, personality traits and conscious behavior - then life changes. "I feel, I live, I love" is a visual poem to raise awareness for people living with dementia.

“The Face of Fear” by Alex Ramsey
Five individuals explore their deeply personal struggles and motivations as they face their fears in completely different ways. Director Alex Ramsey investigates what it takes to cultivate courage, in ways both subtle and extraordinary, and the potential that awaits on the other side of our greatest insecurities.
