The Lion and the Mouse
The whimsical cut-outs of celebrated animator Evelyn Lambart bring new charm to this fable by Aesop. Told without words, the story concerns a tiny mouse who, in return for a past favor, frees a mighty lion from a hunter’s trap.
Maud Lewis: A World Without Shadows
The world that Maud Lewis created with her paint brushes is one of memorable whimsy — of orchards, oxen, fishermen and flowers. This gentle voyage leads into the tiny house that she decorated entirely with her work
and into the peaceful world that she created.

The Mad Canadian
For the man who rockets a car up a ramp and flys it over a formidable barrier of parked cars, work is a risk that takes more than the desire to eam a living. This tense, tight close-up of stunt man Ken Carter on the stock-car racing track shows what that extra ‘something’ is.
The Other World
Armed with camera and microscope, this fascinating documentary makes close contact with the elusive creatures of the freshwater world. Here, where movement undulates and sound is muffled, it studies the delicate interplay of lifeforms along an ecological chain that begins with microorganisms and ends with man.
The Art of Eating
A rare feast with one of the oldest, most exclusive and most knowledgeable dining clubs in Quebec — if not in the whole of North America. The preparation and presentation of all twelve courses, including the appropriate champagnes and vintage wines, must be seen to be believed.
