International Competition 4: Animated Films

A young woman asks a hyena to take her place at a dinner and dance given in her honour. The plan requires skill and some violence, too.

A house on the cliffs, a father, a son, and the ice business. With a sure sense of style, João Gonzalez turns his atmospheric animation into a family metaphor.

Surreal body horror: A young woman slips into a second skin and a strange process of dissolution begins. Eyes, mouths and a lot more get out of control.

Bizarre animations of strange beauty on a metal plate, set to Free Jazz. Light reflexes. Lines and circles that take on human or insect form, merge and dissolve.

Women should be financially independent so they don’t have to spend their life in the kitchen, her mother taught. Her daughter pays tribute to her cooking skills.

Driven by the barking of a rented apartment, a ballet dancer trudges through his monotonous daily routine. A surreal stop motion animation about a man who’s gone to the dogs.
