IRA FINKELSTEIN’S CHRISTMAS
Running time: 90 min
Ira J. Finkelstein is obsessed with Christmas. He's seen
every Christmas movie ever made and his dreams are
filled with reindeer, sleigh rides and SNOW. The problem?
Ira's Jewish - and at 11 years old, Christmas is passing him
by. When Ira's hopes for a holiday vacation in Aspen are
dashed, he hatches a plan to finally get the Christmas of
his dreams. Flying unaccompanied to visit his
grandparents in Florida, he swaps tickets with Mikey,
another 11-year-old on his way to Christmastown, WA. Ira
gets more than he bargained for when he experiences his
first 'White Christmas'.

MY MIND Running time: 4 min
My Mind celebrates the power of imagination and mind.
Beautifully mixing hand-drawn and digital animation, it
follows the journey of a butterfly girl born from the
imagination. Her flight takes us across oceans, through
cities and we watch her as she 'places the sun upon the
horizon' and balances on the arm of a record player which
soulfully scratches out the melancholic rhythm of an
acoustic guitar. As she transcends the confines of the
mundane and dances upon the clouds, we are reminded of
the joy of our own creativity and the power of our minds.
