Glad you folks enjoyed the posts. We attended the screening last night and, as you might guess, were very impressed. My favorite is "Bear Story" from Chile, very clever animation reminiscent of "Mr. Hublot" (2014 Winner). It had some of my favorite elements, steampunk vibe, great cityscapes, and especially no dialogue. Here is the film's website including trailer, director's statement, etc:

We also attended the live action screenings, three of the five were pretty grim subjects. All were well done, as you would expect, just kind of a downer overall. I preferred the two lighter films, "Ave Maria" and "Stutterer", here are the trailers:
