MITTI (Discovering Ikigai), 30min., Canada
Directed by Sangita Iyer
Mitti (Discovering Ikigai) is a story of young woman of colour in Canada who chose organic farming as her career choice. Through her story the film highlights the Japanese concept of Ikigai to inspire others, especially youth, to find their passion and purpose in life. The film also highlights environmental and sustainability challenges the world is facing and how ancient cultures considered Mother Earth with gratitude instead of a commodity. The film also attempts to break stereotypes we have about how/what a farmer looks like. The film poster has been conceived and created by at 12 year art enthusiast who seems to have discovered her Ikigai.

Mi CUBA, 70min., Cuba
Directed by Sonia Mercedes Machado-Hines
Dive into the captivating story of a former soldier from Fidel Castro’s regime, who begins to question the very ideology he once fiercely defended.

But the manuscript becomes more than just words—it becomes his ticket to a perilous defection.

I walk with God down the beach,
Lie back with him at night...
