International Independent Competition – Program 2

A selection of outstanding international animated shorts, inviting audiences to journey beyond the horizon—into new worlds, new imaginations, and new stories.

A boy and his dog navigate the fragile line between anger and friendship, a grandfather and grandson live in a world where gravity is reversed, a brother and sister make their way to the river, and animals celebrate around a pineapple. Four extraordinary films that remind us how animation can take us to places we never imagined.
