      <image:caption>As a child in Vietnam, Thao’s mother often rescued ants from bowls of sugar water. Years later they would return the favour. Boat People is an animated documentary that uses a striking metaphor to trace one family’s flight across the turbulent waters of history. Co-directed by Thao Lam and Kjell Boersma, the film employs a hybrid of traditional 2D animation, stop-motion multiplane, and 3D rendering to capture the unique aesthetic of Lam’s handmade paper textures and patterns. Directed by: Theo Lam, Kjell Boersma</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Weatherman and the Shadowboxer is a visually haunting animated short film about two brothers who share the scars, though not the memories, of an untold history that has driven them to existential extremes.

      <image:title>Film Festival Overview - National Film Board - Subconscious Password</image:title>
      <image:caption>In this short animation, Oscar®-winning director Chris Landreth uses a common social gaffe—forgetting somebody’s name—as the starting point for a mind-bending romp through the unconscious. Inspired by the classic TV game show Password, the film features a wealth of animated celebrity guests who try to prompt our beleaguered protagonist to remember his old pal's name. Finally, he realizes he must surrender to his predicament and jump head-first into his subconscious to find the answer. Directed by: Chris Landreth</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A caged bird flutters and flails in a struggle for freedom. But only by surrendering to the transcendent power of music and movement is the bird finally able to soar. In Samaa, filmmaker Ehsan Gharib invites us into imagined captivity using striking, hand-painted animation and visceral drumming. The bird’s dramatic plight begs the question: Is freedom a state of being, or is it a state of mind? Directed by: Ehsan Gharib</image:caption>

      <image:title>Film Festival Overview - National Film Board - Meneath: The Hidden Island of Ethics</image:title>
      <image:caption>Meneath: The Hidden Island of Ethics dives deeply into the innate contrast between the Seven Deadly Sins (Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Pride and Envy) and the Seven Sacred Teachings (Love, Respect, Wisdom, Courage, Truth, Honesty and Humility), as embodied in the life of a precocious Métis baby. Brought to life by Terril Calder’s darkly beautiful stop-motion animation, Baby Girl’s inner turmoil is laid bare with unflinching honesty. Convinced she’s soiled and destined for Hell, Baby Girl receives Anishinaabe Teachings from Nokomis that fill her with strength and pride, and affirm a path towards healing. Calder’s tour-de-force unearths a hauntingly familiar yet hopeful world that illuminates the bias of colonial systems. Directed by: Terril Calder</image:caption>

Forced to suppress her voice, she refuses to give up, even as many try to silence her. But when she is thrust into her subconscious, the very monsters she created come to life. Guided by Herneval, a tormented prince trapped between dreams and nightmares, she must restore balance between fiction and reality before both realms collapse. Meanwhile, the sinister writer Procustes and his conspirators plot to seize control. As Frankelda and Herneval grow closer, their bond becomes both a strength and a curse. To rewrite their fate, she must confront a love that defies existence and reclaim her power as a storyteller—before dark forces consume her imagination and reveal horrors beyond her creation.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I have long been obsessed with story telling and making people feel stuff. As a host, writer, and producer at TVO, it was my sole job to make our audience of school aged kids laugh, think, feel accepted and excited about who they are. I have since fallen in love with making thoughtful content for young kids - though I'll dabble in entertaining grown ups, too.</image:caption>

      <image:title>TAAFI_2026 Speakers &amp; Guests - Dan Barker</image:title>
      <image:caption>Born in South Africa, Dan Barker always knew he wanted to make movies. At just ten years old, he created his first animation and discovered the craft that would shape his life. What began as childhood curiosity quickly became a calling — a pursuit of performance, character, and the magic of bringing drawings and pixels to life. Dan spent nearly a decade at Blue Sky Studios working in animation and rigging, contributing to large-scale animated features while sharpening both his artistic eye and technical foundation. His career has also taken him to Walt Disney Animation Studios, Naughty Dog, and Luma Pictures, where he collaborated with world-class artists across film, games, and visual effects. Whether crafting expressive character performances, building robust rigs, or designing appealing characters from the ground up, Dan thrives at the intersection of artistry and problem-solving. As his experience grew, so did his leadership. A former supervisor, Dan is passionate about elevating the teams around him — helping artists push performances further, refining pipelines for efficiency, and auditing tools and technology to unlock creative potential. He believes great animation is born not only from talent, but from a culture that supports experimentation, clarity, and collaboration. Dan later founded Origami Dollar, an outsource studio specializing in commercial animation. Through it, he partners with brands and studios to deliver high-quality character work while maintaining the craftsmanship and storytelling heart that first drew him to animation. With Sunrise Studios’ David, Dan returned to his roots in a meaningful way. Serving as Animation Director, he helped shepherd the team from early development through final delivery — realizing the dream he carried since childhood: helping bring a feature film to life in South Africa. For Dan, animation isn’t just a profession — it’s a lifelong fascination. If he’s not building characters, refining rigs, or directing performances, he’s studying movement, watching films, or exploring new technology. He remains driven by the same excitement he felt at ten years old: the belief that a well-crafted performance can move people anywhere in the world.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I got my break at Taafi years ago, getting a job at Smiley Guy Studio for a new show they were starting - Corner Gas: Animated. I stayed with them for a good four or five years before moving to Jam Filled to work on Final Space where I promptly learned that I had so much more to learn as a layout artist. In the years since, I've worked for a number of studios in the TV space, eventually becoming a location designer. Last year, I had the pleasure of working remotely from Italy for 6 months. Much appreciation to Mainframe Studios for being so supportive of that adventure!</image:caption>
