A Special Little Fish (Sonya Lee / Canada / 17 mins / English / 2025)

Tiare re-explored her backyard and found wonders. You should too.

Underwater cinematographer and a new-mother, Tiare Boyes takes her camera to her backyard Creek. With her child-like wonder, she seeks for creatures that inspired her professional career, and reflects onto her curiosity and journey into parenthood. She inspires you to explore your surroundings & open your doors to your wildlife neighbours.

Architects of the Earth (Elise Orlowski / Togo, Benin, USA / 27 mins / English, French / 2025)

Truly sustainable architecture in a West African community

Through intimate and diverse anecdotes from the Batammariba tribe, the film showcases their traditional architecture - Takienta, which is a UNESCO Heritage. Takienta has answers to climate change, reflects the relationship of the community to their environment, and platforms how modernity & tradition can sync mutually towards conservation in this ever-changing world.

Cone (Ji-in Yoo / Republic of Korea / 16 mins / Korean / 2024)

All he wants to do is enjoy his ice cream.

A seven-year old boy is on a mission to reduce waste, save plastic, and make any small efforts he can because his favourite TV show is going to give him a reward for it. But how does he face the lukewarm interest of his parents and the people around him?

Today, our new film Town Square (32 minutes) is finally available online as a @vimeostaffpicks

10 years ago, I heard about a memory care professional in San Diego, building a fake 1950s town so people with Alzheimer's and dementia could spend time in a world they could still remember. We proceeded to follow memory care expert Scott Tarde and his team as they built Town Square, scraping together the money, ensuring they could build the set with enough detail to feel real, opening the doors, and not knowing for sure exactly how it would be received.   It was a true experiment, a leap of faith, and to us, it really embodied an imaginative take on care. 
What we didn't expect was how much the film would really end up being about the families — Marie and Dail, Tanya and Mary, Geri and Frank, Sheri and Susie — and many others.

If you're caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's or dementia right now, you may recognize your experience in theirs. 
If you're expecting a depressing film about a difficult disease, you might be surprised. There are a lot of laughs here. It turns out that building a faux 1950s city makes for a pretty fun watch.

So we're happy to finally get to share our short documentary — Town Square — with the world. It's 32 minutes, it's played at some great festivals, and now we're releasing it online for free, with lots of gratitude to the Vimeo Staff Pick team. 
If you enjoy it, or it makes you feel something, please share it with anyone who you think would want to see it.  Full film at the link in bio.

Congratulations to Outstanding Achievement winner Brett Marty and Josh Izenberg for their deeply moving documentary short, "Plant Life"! The film offers an intimate look at biologist Joanne Chory, who has spent her life unlocking the secrets of plants. Now, facing advancing Parkinson’s disease, she is pushing forward with the most audacious research of her career: re-engineering crops to pull carbon from the atmosphere and lock it deep in the soil, with the potential to cut the pace of climate change in half. Through artful direction and intimate observation, Marty and Izenberg bring us close to Chory’s fierce intelligence, vulnerability, and enormous heart. It is a powerful race against time and an exhilarating testament to a remarkable woman determined to leave the world better than she found it. Executive produced by Emmy-winner Chad Cohen.
