THE 10-MINUTE RULE
Seats for advance ticket and pass holders are held until 10 minutes before showtime, when any unfilled seats are released to the public. Thus, advance tickets or passes ensure that you will not have to wait in the ticket purchase line but do not guarantee a seat in the case of arrival after the 10-minute window has begun. Your early arrival also helps get screenings started promptly. We appreciate your understanding. Advance ticket holders who arrive within the 10-minute window but are not seated may exchange their tickets for another screening at the Ticket Outlet or obtain a cash refund at the theater. There are no refunds or exchanges for late arrivals or for missed screenings.

Duim | Lantaarnpaal | Windvlagg | Schoorsteenhuisje | Rijwind | Boom
DIRECTOR: TOMAS SCHATS
NETHERLANDS

In Schats' subtle "clear-line drawings" of man's opportunities and limitations, the seemingly personal becomes extraordinarily universal. Duim: a thumb nail, Lantaarnpaal: a lamppost, Windvlaag: a gust of wind, Schoorsteenhuisje: a house, Rijwind: a moped passing by, Boom: a tree.

Children of Shadows
DIRECTOR: NAOYUKI TSUJI
JAPAN

Black-and-white drawings with lingering shadows of children set the stage for this dark and mysterious animated film.  In a sparse and haunting soundtrack, teardrops mingle and mutate into fields of daises and slow drips turn to bunnies hopping down a woman's legs.
