SUKKAR: SABAABAA W HOUBOUB AL KHARZIZ
Director: Tamer Mahdy
A beautiful day turns into a miserable one after the whole city gets infected with chickenpox. The children and the workers in the orphanage get infected as well and they try their best to figure out how to cure themselves. A doctor develops a vaccine for the disease against the approval of the policemen in the city. The children visit a magician called Frotto so he would cure their chickenpox. The children are rushed to the hospital after Frotto's failed attempts to cure them. An angel sent from heaven called Anisa, guides the children after they reach the hospital and she stays with them until the vaccine that is being developed by the doctor gets approved. The annual Circus visits the city and the children get invitations from Daddy- Long-Legs. After attending the Circus, Sukkar and her friends realize that the animals are being mistreated and they make a plan to save them. Sukkar celebrates her birthday in the orphanage with her friends. As a gift, Daddy-Long-Legs grants Sukkar a once in a lifetime opportunity and he sends her to a private school. The children get emotional and a feud occurs between Tarek and Sukkar. The children follow Sukkar to the train station to say goodbye for the last time but they get shocked at the quick transformation that happened with their dearest friend.
NIGHT OF THE ZOOPOCALYPSE
Director: Ricardo Curtis
When a meteor crashes into Colepepper Zoo, it releases a virus that turns infected animals into slavering zombies. The few remaining unaffected must band together to escape the virus, find a cure and - most importantly - defeat the Bunny King, a mad mutant beast who wants to spread the virus beyond the zoo to animals everywhere. Young wolf Gracie teams up with mountain lion Dan to find and warn her pack; Xavier, the movie-obsessed lemur; Frida, the fiery capybara; ostrich Ash and the untrustworthy monkey Felix make up the rest of the squabbling, motley crew. A colourful tale with echoes of the recent global pandemic, the Zoopocalypse is a treat for adult animation buffs as much as children.
EEPHUS
Director: Carson Lund
New England, an amateur baseball game is being played in front of empty stands, from morning until nightfall. It’s the team's last match: tomorrow, the demolition of the arena will begin. Eephus refers to a particular pitch – a slow curveball that is difficult to hit – but one doesn't need to know the rules of baseball to grasp the ways of this world: a certain American, rural and masculinist culture. Awkward, aging and out of shape, the men are as enthusiastic about the drinks they bring to the game as they are about bats and balls. The bonds forged by the game are deep, however - and, by extension, so is their love of baseball itself in this touching and funny analogy of America.
