Hugh Foulds, Allan McFee

This short cartoon tells the story of a bear who didn’t believe in Christmas. His main problem with this most magical of holidays? Too many Santas. How would he ever recognize the real one? Alone, out of a job, he goes to drown his sorrows, but back in his lonely room, for all his doubts, the Christmas spirit makes a surprise call.

Man: The Polluter

Vladimir Jutriša, Wolf Koenig

Fred H. Knelman

A richly illustrated cartoon film that enlarges on man's capacity to foul his own nest, and to ignore it. Made by a joint team of Canadian and Yugoslav animation artists, the film transmits its warning with unflagging humor, imagination, movement and design. In between animated sequences Dr. Fred H. Knelman, Professor of Science and Human Affairs at Concordia University in Montréal, comments on the import of what is shown and on what lies in store if more responsibility is not taken on a global scale to conserve what is left of our vital resources and usable environment.

Citizen Harold

Hugh Foulds

An animated film about one man's attempt to bring about changes in his community through participation with fellow citizens and the local government. A discussion-starter with a dual ending, for groups exploring methods of bringing about change.
