EXTINGUISH THE BURNERS AND LIGHT UP LIFE, 30min., Netherlands
Directed by Angel Hernandez
Pablo Fajardo, the renowned environmental lawyer who managed to bring down the North American transnational Chevron (formerly Texaco), shows us his world of commitment for the rights of an Amazonian population affected by oil activities. Together with the activist Donald Moncayo and the Union of People Affected by Texaco, the discourse in defense of the environment extends and structures a series of events and testimonies with a clear purpose: to make visible the struggle and injustice that has been going on in that region of Ecuador for more than fifty years, for the humble attempt to cross borders and raise awareness among the public of all ages of the fragility, duality and privilege promoted by the dominant energy system in the world.

TOOTH REGENERATION, 6min., Canada
Directed by Ken Yu, David Klitovchenko
Ken Yu, David Klitovchenko
Tooth decay is a problem that affects roughly over a third of the population. Although treatments like fillings and root canals can take care of this issue, sometimes the problem is so severe that teeth need to be extracted and replaced by implants. However, this is a complex and costly procedure that cannot always be performed in certain patients. In this video, we describe the alternative possibility of adult tooth regeneration by exploring how sharks naturally regenerate thousands of teeth over their lifetime.

SILENT SKIES - THE FIRST ELECTRIC PLANE FLYOVER, 17min., USA
Directed by Matthew Troy, Casey Hogue
Silent Skies follows the groundbreaking journey of three Pennsylvania college students who orchestrated and piloted the first ever fully electric airplane stadium flyover. Stunning fans with a whisper-quiet show, this event signaled the dawn of America's transition to electric aviation. The students completed a record breaking trip flying the airplane from its base in Hartford, CT to the stadium in Easton, PA, recharging at enroute airports directly from a fleet of electric F-150 trucks.
