Morning Cowboy

Fernando Pomares | Spain | 2016 | 16 min

An emotional story of an ordinary clerk called José who has a brilliant idea before he goes to work. He dresses up as a cowboy and sets out for a wild journey through his past. The author uses simple black and white drawing and gentle humour to convey a powerful message: each day that we manage to live like we want to, counts.

Entr’acte

Seyed Mohamadreza Kheradmandan | Iran | 2016 | 8 min

This film portrays an alleged event from the Gaza strip where a sniper bragged on social media that he shot thirteen children in one day. The soldier's status and photograph is shared everywhere, his account hacked and he is threatened with having to go to court for lying and spoiling reputation of the army. The Iranian author used realistic 3D animation to depict the situation that has probably never happened.

Made in Spain

Coke Riobóo | Spain | 2016 | 11 min

This satirical film depicting contemporary Spain, its national “values,” tradition and clichés, animates miniature figurines. The story, tied together by a wild chase, takes us to a sunny beach. The author was clearly inspired by the aesthetics of A Town Called Panic but also tries to offer a critical view of the present.

Theodore Ushev | Canada | 2016 | 9 min

This captivating film by the Canadian-based Bulgarian artist Theodore Ushev portrays the world through the eyes of a girl called Vaysha. She was born with a very special gift. With one eye, she sees only the past, and with the other, only the future. The present is merely a black smudge for her so she lives a schizophrenic life torn between the known and safe past and the sinister and threatening future.

Broken – The Women’s Prison at Hoheneck

Volker Schlecht, Alexander Lahl | Germany | 2016 | 8 min

This impressive film is a representative of the anidoc genre in our competition. It sensitively, innovatively and at times also abstractly illustrates the story of two women held in the most famous women’s prison in East Germany. With a pressing persuasiveness, it depicts the remorseless everydayness of the overcrowded jail cells and endless cycles of forced labour.
