Brief plot synopses for the two films: 
Ernest et Célestine (French w. Eng subtitles)
This whimsical animation featured at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival and was the first animated film to win the Magritte Award for Best Film, among others. Based on the series of books by Belgian author & illustrator Gabrielle Vincent, this comedy-drama features the journey shared by Ernest the troubadour from the surface-dwelling bear world and Célestine the artist & dreamer from the underground mouse world whose unusual friendship is put on trial by their respective bear-fearing and mice-eating communities. Directed by Stéphane Aubier, Vincent Patar and Benjamin Renner. Running time 75mins.
The Secret of Kells
A remote medieval Irish abbey, a forest sprite, a young boy and an ancient unfinished book filled with secret wisdom are some of the elements of this fantastical animation which premiered in 2009 at the Berlin International Film Festival. Directed by Nora Twomey & Tomm Moore. Running time 79mins.
