A bear is sleeping peacefully in the woods when he accidentally swallows a fly. He can't stand it buzzing around in his belly. On the advice of a squirrel, he swallows a frog... who croaks inside him; then a grass snake, whose wriggling tickles him; then a heron, whose beak prickles him. What lengths will he go to to stop this torture?

La Fontaine turns filmmaker is a new film from The Cinema Owl.

This time The Cinema Owl has brought back from her travels six short films in the form of fables about animals, each with a strong message. La Fontaine turns filmmaker, in the tradition of our cartoon favourites, is both educational and a lot of laughs.

Eckart was born in West Germany in 1941. The very first memory he has of his father is the sound of soldiers' boots on the stairs as he waited impatiently for his return.

A clever little monkey remembers to keep his wits about him when the bigger monkeys encroach on his bounty of bananas.

Life hangs by a thread. Sometimes, it is none other than an old floor lamp switch. The question (of life and death) should be: must the light stay on or off? This exploration between hunter and prey will be revealed with music.
