Stiff As A Board, Light As A Feather

I am getting more and more disenchanted with the TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) every year.  As it gets bigger commercially, it becomes less and less appealing to me.  This year I decided not to check out their program any more.  I did bump into Nicholas & Sheila Pye's contribution of short films to the TIFF, Stiff As A Board, Light As A Feather, at Birch Libralato Gallery this past weekend.  Like the Pyes' previous films, their latest works are equal doses of otherworldly beauty and melancholy.
