‘The Kite’ (13 mins.) ~ Summer is coming to an end, the fruit is growing ripe on the trees. Grandpa gives his Grandson a kite. As the boy is tossed around in the air, Grandpa catches him. Then the leaves fall and Grandpa has grown weak. A strong autumn wind carries him off into the cloudy sky. Winter comes, then springtime. A warm breeze brings them together again. Told with enchanting, richly-textured images, this tale is about remembering those who are no longer with us.
‘Litterbugs’ (15 mins.) ~ Helped by her self-made ﬂying mechanical creatures, a young inventor and a pint-sized superhero defeat the town bullies and ﬁnd an unexpected friendship.
‘The Last Unicorn’ (1hr 32 mins.) ~ In this animated musical, the villainous King Haggard plots to destroy all the world’s unicorns. When a young unicorn learns that she’s in danger and that she may soon be the last of her kind, she leaves the safety of her protected forest and enlists the help of Schmendrick, a gentle, albeit clumsy, sorcerer. Together, they embark on a long and dangerous journey with one goal: to defeat Haggard and save the unicorns from extinction.

DOC: “MADAN SARA” by STREET TEAM PRODUCTIONS
2025-11-20 18:30 - 20:00 | Baddeck Library, 520 Chebucto St, Baddeck, Nova Scotia, B0E 1B0, Canada
This film by Haitian journalist Etant Dupain centers on the informal status of women in Haitian society but also their importance to that same society and how it functions.
Madan Saras deliver goods throughout the country and most times sell their goods in the public marketplaces to support their families. It is dangerous work because they are subject
to being robbed, street disruption which holds up commerce, and other dangers. Most times they are not protected by the authorities. This film amplifies the calls of the Madan Sara as they speak directly to society to share their dreams for a more just Haiti.
