When we\u2019re asleep, they show us visions regardless if we want to see them, often becoming a strange or confusing reflection of matters in life we are, deep down, preoccupied with.<\/p><p>When we\u2019re awake, on the other hand, dreams help us realize a future state of being. They become goals, driving us to take stock of where we are, think about how we got there, and aim to where we want to go.<\/p><p>And when the real and surreal collide? We\u2019re left unsure of what is actually what.<\/p><p>In <strong>Martin Glegg\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/rdvcanada.ca\/en\/product\/unicorn-code\/\"><em>Unicorn Code<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, the first short in this year\u2019s Not Short on Talent selection for the Short Film Corner at Cannes 2021, that\u2019s the case for Zoe and Iona, two friends who happen, one mysterious summer day, upon a mythical creature in a rural meadow. As they approach the animal with disbelief, they\u2019re confronted by a group of men who have no intention of letting the beast remain wild, leading to a moment of incredible courage.<\/p><p>That\u2019s followed by <strong>Amar Chebib\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/rdvcanada.ca\/en\/product\/joe-buffalo\/\"><em>Joe Buffalo<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, a documentary about the titular skateboarding legend and residential school survivor who battled addiction and overcame the traumas of his childhood to realize his dream of going pro. Reflecting on his time in jail, Buffalo, originally from Samson Cree Nation in Maskwacis, Alberta, says he felt like a \u201ccaged animal,\u201d making his story of recovery more than just inspiring: with some truly sick clips of his craft in action, it\u2019s the purest expression of freedom.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac98a24 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ac98a24\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rdvcanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/RDV-Canada-Articles-2-qfzwtc4ur5lszieq1gy0y60l6z5260mjses96r7d8g.png\" title=\"RDV Canada &#8211; Articles 2\" alt=\"RDV Canada - Articles 2\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">From left to right, Martin Glegg, Amar Chebib, Maya Bastian and Auc\u00e9ane Roux<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c77cc4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7c77cc4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In <strong>Maya Bastian\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/rdvcanada.ca\/en\/product\/tigress-2\"><em>Tigress<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, reflections on life take on a literal meaning for Trina, a young Tamil woman who, during a night of partying, encounters an alternate version of herself in the mirror.
