Description

A collection of brand new short animations from around the world. These poetic, experimental and thought-provoking films examine a number of themes including loss, loneliness, oppression, anger and rebellion.

LISTEN PAPA - This is the depiction of a young boy's love and hate for his father, revealing all things unspoken.

FEATHERWEIGHT - A dark, humoured and expressive character animation about a daughter and father-figure coping with the loss of a central family member.

HALF A-SLEEP - One room, two half bodies, a silent relationship.

HEATWAVE - In the midst of a searing heatwave, two little children find a way to cool everyone down!

AND THEN THE BEAR - A brilliant evocation of childhood rebellion. Through simple painted animation and clever editing, Agnès Patron uses sensations and snatches of memory, as houses burn and hordes of children come together and howl, dancing on the ashes like wild bears!

SAD HEART - An emotional journey of a woman along a sound wave.

DAD - Larger than life, dressed in suit and tie, dad appears at the window one evening, with a gift for his son.

STORY - In the age of omnipresent technology, where the virtual sinks into reality, a young girl observes the world via a social media platform.

WILD WOMAN - A slam-poetry letter to mankind which invokes current world issues such as drone-strikes and religious persecution.

THE CHERRY ON TOP - A shy young prince seeks solace in overeating rather than attempt courtship.

MY MOON - A study of Earth's relationship with the Sun and Moon. The story revolves around the sad nature of the way they have to co-exist, as Earth needs emotional and practical values from both the Sun and Moon.
