Implied

Qin Nan li, Qi Yao | China | 2017 | 10 min | ZH

Implied is different from the majority of Chinese production not only in its visual style, but also in its alienating, seemingly documentary, approach. The story takes place in a closed military zone containing alien monsters hunting humans so they can perform their drastic biochemical experiments.

Trump Dreams

Ruth Lingford | United Kingdom, United States | 2017 | 4 min | EN

In this anidoc, the author visualises dreams about Donald Trump she collected from people all over the world in 2016. Hopes and fears related to the new president have left noticeable marks on the conscious and unconscious minds of the respondents and created astounding dream motifs that the director managed to interlink in various metamorphoses.

The Burden

Niki Lindroth von Bahr | Sweden | 2018 | 15 min | SV

This utterly atypical and gloomily absurd puppet musical was made by a Swedish director who has managed to excellently connect smooth animation with original stories already in her previous films. Her latest film is a sequence of scenes from various commercial places where the inhabitants, here (once again) portrayed as animals, go through various forms of existential anxiety and boredom.

And the Moon Stands Still

Yulia Ruditskaya | Belarus, Germany, United States | 2017 | 11 min

This visually captivating film using only three colours draws a metaphorical story based on the lunar cycles. The US-based Belarusian author created a slightly frightening non-fairy-tale. Against the backdrop of the struggle between darkness and light, we follow villagers who react to the moon's cycles.

In a Nutshell

Fabio Friedli | Switzerland | 2017 | 6 min

This original film by the Swiss filmmaker and musician Fabio Friedli tries to capture our entire world in a nutshell. Using collages of various objects and motifs, the author shows the path from a seed to war, from meat to love and from indifference to apocalypse… The colourful visual style of the film is supplemented by an inventive soundtrack.

L’alliance

Eugène Boitsov | France | 2017 | 3 min | FR

Engagement is one the films from a French series of filmed poems that provides graduates of animation school with an opportunity to test their skills in practice. This time, the young filmmakers adapted Paul Éluard’s poetry. Eugèn Boitsov’s lively animation portrays a man looking for two trees on which to hang his hammock… but his search is far more complicated than expected.

Dolls Don't Cry

Frédérick Tremblay | Canada | 2017 | 21 min

Frédérick Tremblay is known for improvising the stories of his meticulously animated puppets directly in front of the camera. That means the stories often unfold in a way the audiences would never expect. In this film, we see a man and a woman who, together, yet each on their own, work on an animated film – he during the night, as an animator, and she during the day, as a graphic designer.
