For 200 years, coal mining had been a way of life in Cape Breton. By 1920 things were looking up: miners were unionized and paid decent wages. Then the British Empire Steel Corporation arrived and bought every single steel and coal company in Nova Scotia. BESCO cut wages by a third, setting off a bitter labour dispute. The miners settled in for a long strike. Finally, in 1925, the military ended the unrest with brute force. But the miners, in one sense, had won. They broke up the monopoly and provided an example to workers across the country.

From filmmaker Yue Hua comes the 16mm film, "Time is a loop", I wish—a tender rumination on time and loss. This sweetly evocative personal piece pairs nostalgic-feeling film footage of toys, wobbly cradle Balance Balls, and light and shadow, with Hua’s poetic reflections presented as hand-drawn text on screen. Hua shot the 16mm footage intuitively (not to or for a script), wrote the text separately, then put them together in post-production creating an evocative capaciousness further enchanted by an airy score. “When I was little, time was slow and I thought I could catch time,” Hua tells us, ”Now, I made a wish.” Embedded in that wish is gentle reckoning and liberation through which she offers a soothing, cinematic, beguiling respite.

A certain winter day. Hajime Mutsuki, the leader of the idol unit "Six Gravity," (a.k.a. Gravi) associated with Tsukino Talent Productions, aimlessly dropped by a secondhand bookstore and encountered Shun Shimotsuki, the leader of their sibling unit "Procellarum" (a.k.a. Procella). The two of them picked up the antique classic which was thought to be the original work of the stageplay they would be starring in: "Rabbits Kingdom." Though it should have been his first time hearing the title, a strange bothersome sensation befell him, almost as if it were stuck in the back of his head. To the perplexed Hajime, Shun gently smiled. "...Ah, this one. It's quite a nostalgic and beloved... story of us from another world." This is a "what if" story of a kingdom in some other world.
