	Checkout 9 How many people make real contact with the person at the supermarket checkout counter? And vice versa? Cashier Olga operates on autopilot. But an unexpected event interrupts her daily routine and she suddenly come to life.
	Impromptu Impromptu is an American animated short about the power of food, wine, music and love, seen through the eyes of a modern man. While preparing a gourmet dinner for his young family, Chuck gets a phone call from his euphoric wife to say that her colleagues are coming for dinner to celebrate a success at work.
	Table d'Hote The act of putting a piece of meat in your mouth is the last stage of a long production process. In this simple but striking short animation, student Alexandra Levasseur of the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema in Montreal shows that eating meat is more than sticking your fork into a slice of cow.
	Caballeros del cafe "A cup of coffee in your country costs more than a pound of coffee here,” says Colombian coffee grower Ivan in the opening seconds of Caballeros del cafe. With wry humour, Ivan looks back at how things used to be, his dreams for the future and the everyday reality.
	Sweet Dreams A cupcake who lives in a town made of sugar and biscuits is shipwrecked with his sugar cube boat and washes up on an island of fruit and vegetables. He befriends the pumpkins, limes and turnips, who teach him how to build sturdier houses and boats with carrots and kale leaves.
	Kars Honey Eastern Turkey is famous for its pure honey. The nectar comes only from wild mountain flowers and the native Caucasian bees are never fed sugar to increase production. But this bee and way of life are under threat from non-native species and over-commercialisation.

Watermelon In the middle of nowhere on the hottest day of the year, a man sells watermelons at the side of the road. A handful of tourists stop to take photos of this unusual attraction but there are no buyers. Then the worst happens: a rival watermelon seller sets up a stall on the other side of the road! The men become embroiled in a watermelon war.
