Catherine

Britt Raes | Belgium | 2016 | 12 min

The main heroine of this film loves animals, but unfortunately way too much. Most of all, she loves her cat which gradually becomes her whole world. Catherine lives detached from people and slowly turns into a crazy old cat lady. The author, who is particular about telling stories, can surprise her viewers at the right moment.

The Empty

Dahee Jeong | France, South Korea | 2016 | 10 min

This French-produced film by South Korean animator Jeong Dahee is a gentle, sensitive and detailed probe into memories. It is set in a woman’s room where the memories have accumulated only to disappear as dust. A man walks into the room and submerges into the memories.

Evening

Izabela Plucińska | Germany, Poland | 2016 | 3 min

This short film depicts a fighting married couple. The couple are lost for words and so they decide to throw each other’s stuff out of the window. Nothing is spared – from the dishes to furniture to the walls. The author is known for her non-traditional approach to clay, which in her films appears as a living and unyielding material.

Waiting for the New Year

Vladimir Leschiov | Latvia | 2016 | 9 min

Another one of the impalpable and nostalgic films by Vladimir Leschiov which blends the past with the present, dreams with reality and hopes with disappointments. All in a letter sent by a lonely woman to an unknown person. The letter is sent on the first day of the new year – its author looks back on the previous year and hopes for a miracle in the new one.

Balcony

David Dell’Edera | Hungary | 2016 | 7 min

Balcony begins very inconspicuously – we see a lazy afternoon at a housing estate. Children are playing football and people are hiding in their homes. But then, out of the blue, appears an unknown man who tears the people out of their everyday lethargy. An interesting story, in which the slowly built atmosphere is spoiled by a typically Hungarian absurd situation.

When the Days were Endless

Marcus Vinícius Vasconcelos | Brazil | 2016 | 13 min

When the Days were Endless is a representative of not very well known but often unexpectedly progressive Latin American animation. The emotional story of the film has a young man return home to care for his seriously ill mother. Individual scenes are connected via an omnipresent detailed structure of hair and use live-action scenes for rotoscopy.

The Ogre

Laurene Braibant | France | 2017 | 10 min

A film about obsession with food which is stronger than anything else. The ogre tries not to eat too much because he has a complex about his size. But his craving overcomes him during a banquet and reveals his true nature. In this artistically innovative film, the fantasy of the author knows no limits, much like the gluttony of the main hero.

The Gap

Patrick Vandebroeck | Belgium, Netherlands | 2016 | 15 min

Creating order takes effort and time, but chaos spreads very quickly. In this film, which works very economically with colours and yet manages to create drama and excitement, the main hero would like to create a perfectly flat surface as he strives for symmetry. However, his efforts are marred by a red ball which brings colour and liveliness into his world.
