Summary:

"The fantastic flying books of Mr. Morris Lessmore: American directors William Joyce and Brandon Oldenburg invoke silent movies, MGM musicals, and rampant bibliophilia in this poignant, humorous allegory about people who devote their lives to books, and the curative powers of story ; The village: In a small, isolated village where everyone spends half their time trying to find out their neighbors' secrets and the other half trying to preserve their own, one individual swims against the tide ... ; Bitzbutz: In Israeli director Gil Allcabetz's playful study in contrasts, a white bird and a black monster compete for common territory, but, as they soon find out, it's a zero-sum game."--Container.
