In 1974, the mathematician Penrose discovered pairs of tiles that form an infinite plane without repeating patterns. Inspired by this, Max Cooper uses a rhythm fragment of one instrument to compose a percussion ensemble without a single identical loop. Jessica In contributes animated tile ornaments without symmetries that are reminiscent of a mandala and visualise the idea of infinity.

Visual gags, humour, sound effects, live action and cut-out and embroidery animation combine to make this an enchanting parable of good will and understanding. A group of children finds a magic quilt that is their passport to a voyage of discovery. They step inside the quilt and as they travel through its velvet farmlands and satin cities, they experience the multiculturalism of Canada. The quilt is torn and the magic broken when a quarrel breaks out. Once the quilt is repaired and harmony restored, the children have learned that patience and goodwill are needed to mend and maintain quilts, friendships, and nations.

In the mystical Scottish Highlands, Merida is the princess of a kingdom ruled by King Fergus and Queen Elinor.

A film miniature set to classical music by Camille Saint-Saëns, animated in loose matter with colored salt directly under the camera by Aleksandra Korejwo. From the undefined matter, the figure of a dancing girl emerges, soon transforming into a swan. From the rippling water, the swan takes flight, then seamlessly transforms back into a girl. The girl's dance and the bird's flight intertwine. The girl is enchanted into a swan, the swan enchanted into a girl. Their shapes merge, creating a unity.
