LINOLEUM presents the programme of the best Ukrainian animation films of the last 30 years. The festival team chose ten short films that show the national "cartoons" as an art that can speak on various topics and capture the audience. Our selection brings together different generations of authors, different creative approaches and styles. This is a mini-history of animation in Independent Ukraine. But above all, these are films that arouse our admiration, and we want to share them with the audience in honour of the country's main holiday.
The program is available online for free on MEGOGO
Running time 100 min.
