International Animation Shorts

Featuring the finest and freshest animation talent hailing from Colombia, Japan, Canada, Belgium, Malaysia and Israel. Collectively these films examine how our identities are shaped by the pressures of society, religion, economy and history. Here, migrant workers’ stories are revealed, a family secret shakes up a friendship, attraction blossoms between pals, a child guided by sacred teachings heals from trauma, we meditate upon our symbiotic relationship to nature and secretive, deadly rituals are enacted.
