Earth Hour, directed by Laurent Firode (FRA), 11 min. Earth Hour paints the story of an environmentalist couple who are wholly and perhaps blindly committed to their cause. Satirical and a touch absurd, this story points out what happens when we go too far, without taking away the importance of environmental activism.

Le Grand Pissoir, directed by A.J. Marson, 8 min. Le Grand Pissoir is a short documentary film which profiles David Hoffman's creation of a zero waste, self-sustaining, composting toilet that uses worms to digest human waste.

This film invites viewers to rethink one of our most-used household systems and the concept of “waste” a word nature does not know.
