Ron Mann investigates the miraculous, near-secret world of fungi. Visionaries Gary Lincoff and Larry Evans lead us on a hunt for the wild mushroom and the deeper cultural experiences attached to the mysterious fungi. The oldest and largest living organisms recorded on Earth are both fungi. And their use by a new, maverick breed of scientists and thinkers has proven vital in the cleansing of sites despoiled by toxins and as a "clean" pesticide, among many other environmentally friendly applications. Combining material filmed at the Telluride Mushroom Fest with animation and archival footage, along with a neo-psychedelic soundtrack by The Flaming Lips, this film opens the doors to perception, taking the audience on an extraordinary trip

Corporate executive Donald Beeman, fed up with the rat race, impulsively quits his job and takes to the road as a traveling tap dancing magician under the tutelage of Mr. Delasandro. His former boss Mr. Turnbull, determined to convince him to return to his nine-to-five existence, chases after him as he performs his routine in seedy nightclubs and honky tonks, but instead the two create Tap Dancing Magicians, a course for pressured businessmen. When their little venture becomes one of the most successful corporations in the world, Donald ironically finds himself feeling the same way he did when he originally quit his job.

來自孟加拉Rahul離鄉背井往杜拜當建築師，之後奉命往加爾各答接手重建工作。回國後與為他離家的女友Paoli團聚，同時驚聞他的胞弟失心瘋失去影蹤，原來他只想躲在森林樹屋隱世。出生斯里蘭卡的影人維穆卡提．加亞桑德拉在2005年首作《眾神遺忘之地》和《超時空戰紀》（第七屆）表達的世界觀，在康城和威尼斯交鋒獲好評，新作《菌類生命》的社會觀呈現人多樣性複雜性，過度開發的城市讓人如腐生，無論活在都市或原野的寄生菌兄弟不斷噬食生命，這就是生命的意義。

刘雨佳的短片将纪实素材、文学、民族志、民俗学和游记编织在一起，形成具身性、情动式的体验。她以亚洲的自然景观作为创作的主题和背景，其抒情风格打破了纯纪实与叙事故事之间的界限。她的作品表现出沉思性和象征性，通常关注其他生命形式，从而将人类降格为次要的角色。 　　在《蘑菇》中，艺术家将镜头对准了东北亚的北方森林。阳光穿过树冠在林中洒下斑斑点点的光线，镜头透过林地上的微生态系统，追随着能量与信息的传递，呈现出蘑菇、苔藓、昆虫和土壤之间盛大的共生之舞。

我家的一个盆栽里总是会长出一颗又矮又圆的蘑菇，随着我发现自己与这颗蘑菇之间的相似处，我对这颗蘑菇的态度也发生了转变。
