Short Film Program 4: Animated Worlds

Running time: 117 mins

Let me show you the worlds I’ve created… Animated Worlds presents a mesmerizing array of short films from every corner of the globe. We encounter stop-motion animations alongside cutting-edge computer graphics and even hand-painted animation where any frame would be completely at home hanging on a wall in a museum. These stories, whether examining human sexuality and mating rituals, the allure of the unknown, or the dangers of relying on a single flammable building material, construct amazing interactions between the story told and the technique of telling it. Animated Worlds will take your breath away! – Chris Garcia Sponsored by LaCie
