Childhood nightmares become the first friends, and the loved ones behave worse than monsters. In this world, kids' favourite shows die, a sausage can masquerade as a warrior of light, and a black metal-style winter leads to an unexpected finale. But no matter how crazy things get, there's one thing you can rely on: blink twice if…

Running time 74 min.

  • Zima
    Tomek Popakul, Kasumi Ozeki

    Poland | 26:00 | 2023

    It grows slowly as an icicle, but one day it drops and crashes. Anka loves cats. And Jesus. In a winter silence the lagoon freezes and the unspoken resurfaces like crack on ice. Mosaic portrait of a small fisherman's village where human to human, human to animal, animal to animal interdepend on a delicate balance of warm tender care and cold emotional cruelty. An eerie story of loneliness and community narrated with magical realism.

  • Bunnyhood
    Mansi Maheshwari

    United Kingdom | 09:07 | 2024

    Bunnyhood is a frenzied, 9-minute rollercoaster ride, described by Directors Notes as “pure nightmare fuel,” and akin to “watching the scribbled drawings etched onto an old school desk come to life”.

  • In Loving Memory
    John Eaton

    United Kingdom | 07:42 | 2023

    As a young boy tries to comfort his grieving mother over the loss of his father, they must first face the painful memories stemming from their history together.

  • Outside
    Izabela Plucinska

    Poland | 05:00 | 2023

    The film OUTSIDE tells the story of domestic violence happening every day behind closed doors. Our heroine deals with violence in a different way. The inspiration for the film was an article in a German newspaper about it titled "The numbers are scary".

  • In the Shallows
    Arash Akhgari

    Canada | 04:00 | 2024

    A deep dive into the shallow and fragmented world of news, entertainment and ads, where we can easily drown in the dangerous allure of mass media intoxication.

  • Spooky Loops
    Stas Santimov

    Ukraine | 04:08 | 2024

    Spooky Loops is a compilation of independent films of 13 ultra-short animated stories about dreams, fears, loneliness, injustice, violence, cruelty, and inhumanity.

  • Vegan Mayo
    Luca Tóth

    Hungary | 04:30 | 2024

    She is all that: A super empath, a justice warrior and your favourite confidence queen… but then again maybe just a sausage.

  • Wander to Wonder
    Nina Gantz

    Belgium | 13:20 | 2023

    Mary, Billybud and Fumbleton are three miniature, human actors who perform in an eighties kids TV series called “Wander to Wonder”.
