Language of belonging is a multi-platform education resource based on the ground breaking Indigenous short animation Wadu Matyidi and the five accompanying behind the scenes mini documentaries.

Spaceships soar into space. Dots dance on a page. Rocks and twigs transform into expressive faces. Kids can easily create this kind of magic themselves, and all they require are a few simple tools. Divided into four short, easy-to-understand chapters, Animate Everything introduces basic concepts of animation to a young audience. Explaining visually with colourful images, siblings Lindsay and Will demonstrate how to bring everyday objects to life and even how to animate people! Animate Everything encourages you to "make your own magic in whatever style you want." --Kanopy.

"Viewing Disney without rose-colored glasses," as the Boston Globe put it, Mickey Mouse Monopoly takes a close and critical look at the world of Disney's animated films, and the stories they tell about race, gender, and class. The video reaches disturbing conclusions about the values being propagated under the veneer of childhood innocence and fun. Featuring interviews with media experts, cultural critics, child psychologists, kindergarten teachers, multicultural educators, college students, and children, this defiant video examines Disney's corporate power and explores its pervasive influence on global culture.

Lipsett Diaries is a descent into the maelstrom of anguish that tormented famed Canadian experimental filmmaker Arthur Lipsett, who died prematurely at age 49. Taking the form of a diary, this animated film by Theodore Ushev charts the meanderings of psychological distress, with clashes of images and sounds evoking the loneliness of the artist's childhood, his frenzied creations and his dizzying descent into depression and madness. Drawing, as Lipsett did, from archives of diverse origins, even recycling segments of Lipsett's films, Ushev renews his aesthetic by using paint and crayon on paper, to which he applies digital treatments. The result is both spectacular and daring: a fragmented and fascinating short film that plunges us into the whirlwind of a mind out of balance. A collaboration between Ushev and writer Chris Robinson, Lipsett Diaries is a singular study of what happens when genius is on a first-name basis with madness.

Program Highlights What do Bill Hewlett, Chris Rock, and Jeff Bezos have in common? How risk-averse organizations can capitalize on design school principles. Overcoming psychological barriers to creative experimentation. Much like the standup comedian who tests and refines jokes in small clubs before rolling them out to a television audience, most successful entrepreneurs don't begin with brilliant ideas: they discover them through a deliberate process of creative trial and error. From his research on innovative leaders""from Apple, 3M, Toyota, and Starbucks, to the U.S. Army's counterinsurgency strategists, to artists and even standup comics""Peter Sims found they shared a surprisingly similar approach. These innovators methodically take small experimental ideas through a process of testing, failure, and refinement. Their low-risk "little bets" provide critical information for multiple iterations and successive small wins that eventually lead to creative breakthroughs. Pixar, for example, was acquired by Steve Jobs as a hardware company, but its peripheral and low-risk experimentation in short animated films over several years ultimately led it to pivot to full-length filmmaking and the highly successful Toy Story franchise. Peter Sims is the author of Little Bets: How Breakthrough Ideas Emerge from Small Discoveries, and the coauthor of True North. A graduate of Bowdoin College, he received his MBA from Stanford University's Graduate School of Business.
