L’eau Life. 2007. USA. Directed by Jeff Scher. Begun as an experiment in animating water in motion, Jeff Scher uses watercolors to capture the feel of being in the water, intercut with images of water play—jumping, swimming, falling in, and climbing out. The film is a celebration of summer and the joy of being in the water. 3 min.

Beelines. 1999. Scotland. Directed by Rachel Bevan Baker. Sylvia inherits an apparently lifeless garden, but in the spring the garden and Sylvia come to life. She is a natural gardener—and beekeeper.
