Shorts Program 4 - Animated Worlds

Running time: 112 mins

Fifteen super short films, fifteen different constructed realities playing out across the screen. These brilliant animations take advantage of many different techniques, from sand animation to oil painting, CGI to ball-and-joint stop motion, to bring out emotional stories that will delight, frighten, and affect. Films from eight countries form a melange of imagery that rivals any fine art museum, and the stories they tell, whether reflecting on current political realities, the history of human endeavor, or just a slice of life, will make the viewer realize there is a lot more than one could possibly dream in a lifetime.
