A selection of recent award-winning animated short films from the world’s most renowned festivals!
“Dazzling…take[s] us places we’ve never been, only to reaffirm our commonality.” – Boston Globe
“First-rate…a filling multicourse meal for the discerning grownup toon fan.” – Variety
A cat and a mouse carry on a dysfunctional relationship in a futuristic landscape. A Chinese monk sets out on foot with a tiger during the Tang dynasty and happens upon the giant Buddhas of Bamiyan. Two bluecollar workers dissect the meaning of “normal” life, as the world crumbles around them. A box of matches succumb, to their detriment, to the appeal of a cigarette. Four people recount their various encounters—triumphant or terrifying, euphoric or down-to-earth—with an unforgettable rite of passage.
