A tasting platter of the best animations from around the world.
Animation Shorts presents the full spectrum of the past year in independent animation. From the bold to the bright, this program showcases a wide expanse of styles and techniques. Highlights include the Berlinale winning Genius Loci by Adrien Mérigeau in which an eventful night in Paris is captured through masterfully crafted imagery, and a new animation from Tilda Cobham-Hervey and Dev Patel in a special hometown screening of Roborovski. For the experimental lovers the program also includes Crab, from Iranian animator Shiva Sadeghasadi, in which an unnerving portrait of a young boy is created through individual oil pastel images. These stellar shorts screen with Symbiosis by Nadja Andrasev, YOLO Crystal Fantasy Planet Horoscope by Michael Cusack, Hudson Geese by Bernardo Britto, Kapaemahu by Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu and My Galactic Twin Galaction by Sasha Svirsky, in an all-star cast of animations curated by local animator Emma Hough Hobbs.
