This selection includes films for the adult audience from different years: starting from the early animators of the Kyivnaukfilm studio to the student work by Nikita Lyskov, one of the main representatives of author animation cinema in Ukraine. Following this year’s LINOLEUM main theme, this block represents various aspects of human experience. Awakening of humanity through interaction with animals (The Little Crane), a psychoanalytic illustration of becoming an adult (The Malicious Egg Breaker) or a satirical view on the extreme manifestation of individualism (It's no skin off my nose). Let’s rethink our local animation cinema together and reflect on the question “what does 'human' mean”.
