Maya, Give Me a Title
Michel Gondry writes features, makes the coolest videos, and has the cutest daughter in the universe. He phones her every evening, and asks “Maya, give me a title,” then creates low-tech animations like Maya in the sea with a bottle of ketchup. Maya’s fantastic voyages will have the little ones dreaming, and the grown-ups smiling.
Speak.
All-American teens Esther, Noor, Noah, Mfaz and Sam spend their year juggling the highs and lows of high school life, while preparing for the world’s largest and most intense public speaking competition, the NSDA Nationals. With just nine minutes to make their mark, they rail against life’s obstacles and prejudices to be heard.
