666 MANKIND 666
3m | Erika Errante Baruffaldi
A girl wanders, lost in a magical, surreal world—a mental nightmare that psychologically chains her to the phone screen. She roams through this surreal nightmare, which leads her to delirium, disappearing and disintegrating into a small rectangular light.
The Texan band The Ghost Wolves also appears in the girl's nightmare, together with its two white wolves
ADULT TEETH
6m | Effie Peters
Memory is a funny thing - a truth I only fully confronted as I recorded some of my closest childhood friends recollections of growing up in our small rural town. Inevitably, time has left each of our memories misshapen; brightening or souring them into almost incomparable experiences. But this only made it more truthful to the complicated nature of nostalgia.

Red Moon the main character is racing against time to stop his world from collapsing.
LOADING NOUNS GETS DOWN
4m | Chris Ullens
The Loading Nouns come to East London for a delirious dance session in this ingenious film mixing 2D animation of cutout paper characters shot in stop-motion in real-life environments captured in timelapse. The result is intoxicating and leaves you wanting to dance!
LONELINESS & LAUNDRY
10m | Jonny Eveson
Tabitha is lonely. Too embarrassed to accept help from loved ones, she lives in her own (slightly stinky) pit of solitude. But even the stinkiest of pits needs tackling eventually, and Tabitha’s attempt to clean her space leads to her falling into a magical world of softness – and sentient clothing.
MARVELOUS GIFT
5m | Danna Galeano & German Acuña
In a world where humanity has gained the gift of eternal life, ‘Marvelous Gift’ invites you on a journey where fatal accidents aren’t fatal and aging never ceases. Dive into the paradox of immortality and explore the raw reality of life when the end is taken off the table. This is not just a story; it’s a journey that tests the very concept of life itself.
POLLIWOG
9m | Julia Skala
On a forest home trip with her classmates, ten year old Marlene is struggling with her early pubescent, changing body. She feels ashamed of her boobs growing. Therefore, she avoids to shower with the other girls and hides her evolving body under large sweatshirts. When the other kids start making fun of an oddly developed tadpole at the forest home museum, Marlene is weirdly identifying with it and decides to set it free.
SNOW BEAR
11m | Aaron Blaise
Set in a rapidly changing world, "Snow Bear" tells the story of a polar bear in an unforgiving environment on his quest to find a friend.
VOICEMAIL
2m | Iona Menzies
In this edgy animated comedy, Kate and Connor are at the end of a wild night out. Kate catches the eye of a sexy man and Connor, the ultimate wingman, is by her side. The explicit voicemail that Kate leaves for her friend illustrates why the most ridiculous situations can lead to the best stories. "Voicemail" was created using a real voice recording and brought to life with hand drawn animation.
