Shorts Program 4: Animated Worlds

Running time: 108 mins

Why accept our reality as the only one?

Animated films offer a new world of possibilities to show us innovative ideas unlike any others. This year?s Animated Worlds program showcases shorts taking us to places we never could have imagined. Ranging from extraterrestrial discovery of Earth?s ancient civilization to minimalistic commentary pieces, this program covers a wide spectrum of themes and animation styles to attract any film lover. With twelve films emoting passion and ambitions, this program takes our imagination and separates it from boundaries of our human reality and launches us into a parallel universe.
