Shorts – Конкурсная программа анимации

Animation is the art of transformation, and this year's animation competition shorts again transform the personal and the familiar to the universal and the unpredictable.

Animation directors are more and more daring to mix styles and themes; a personal family album becomes an experimental memory trace, and overtourism is debated in a semi-fantastic, semi-real sea environment. Time and space change in animation (the number of experimental animation works here testify to that); but still, films and their directors don't shy away from contemporary, traumatic topics -whose news coverage is all over our screens. The old-time familiar issues (e.g. personal relationships, family) are here looked upon in a meticulously twisted angle. Exploitation in the work environment has risen to be the well-placed focus of a number of animation shorts in our programme. Whether in 2D, 3D, stop-motion, or any other technique variation, expect a welcome transformation of our ordinary world perception.
