Toril Kove‘s new short documentary Maybe Elephants (17′) has been selected for the short film competition program amongst other 30 films selected between over 3,400 projects submitted.
Maybe Elephants, a co-production between the National Film Board of Canada and Mikrofilm, produced by Lise Fearnley and Tonje Skar Reiersen, is a self-biographical and playful look at family life, adolescence, and the therapeutic power of our memories, regardless of how reliable they are.
