![]() | 5) Asthma Tech Winston has chronic asthma. His asthma prevents him from participating in everyday activities such as gym and recess. In order to cope, he spends most of his time indoors drawing and discovers a fantasy world where his medical burdens become his method of flight. One day it rains, and like Winson, all his classmates become trapped inside. Winston charms and dazzles his peers and lets them all in on his special talent. |
![]() | 6) Arkelope! Arkelope is an animated short that takes a pointed look at endangered species and human indifference. When a middle-aged couple come across a nature documentary on the decline of the Arkelope while channel-surfing, they learn that although the species has managed to survive a variety of natural disasters, it is now in imminent danger of extinction due to man’s short-sightedness. With a serious yet funny approach, this little film illustrates human passivity in the face of the ubiquitous TV set. |
![]() | 7) Alien Planet The CGI or computer animated drama-documentary takes place on Darwin IV, a planet 6.5 light years from earth, with 2 suns and 60% of Earth's gravity. Having identified Darwin as a world that could support life, Earth sends a pilot mission consisting of the Mothership Von Braun and three probes: Balboa, Da Vinci, and Newton. This robotic fleet is responsible for finding and assessing any life forms on Darwin IV. Initially, the expectation is to find microscopic life, but the probes soon find themselves in the middle of a developed ecosystem teeming with diversity of life of all sizes. The drama on Darwin IV is motivated by real science missions, such as the NASA Origins Program and the NASA - JPL Planet-Finder Mission, as well as the European Space Agency's Darwin Project. "Alien Planet " is a cosmic expedition along side Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, Jack Horner, Craig Venter, and George Lucas, and NASA's Chief Scientist Jim Garvin. No longer just the domain of science fiction, "Alien Planet" dramatizes an exciting and possible answer to what alien life really looks like and when we'll find it. |
