Films in this screening:
Jon Frickey:
Ploo
Germany, 2025. 15 minutes.
“If it keeps starting over, it must be forever”, says the white moth. But a gentle whisper breathes in each dawn, “one day, all days will be gone”. Ploo blends attributes of vector graphics and screen display technology with the human condition.
Marcell Mostoha:
Subharmonics
Denmark, Hungary, 2025. 5 minutes.
Blooming glimpses of the ever-changing. Repetitions form a circle. Keys can be found in the depths of the unconscious.
Willy Fair:
Death's Peak

The Autoharp Crushing on Hot Guys
Czechia, 2026. 8 minutes.
A conversation between friends about relationships and feelings is developed in an imaginative, colorful animation. Despite their different life experiences, which are also influenced by the fact that one of the girls has Down syndrome and the other doesn‘t, they both deal with similar issues. What if they had The Autoharp Crushing on Hot Guys.
Mike Ogston, Ryan Von Hagen:
Mind Game
Canada, 2026. 9 minutes.
Mind Game was created from over 3000 drawings made between the years 1967 and 1998. These drawings were not created with animation in mind, instead each piece was intended to capture movement within a still frame. In 2024, with the help of the Quickdraw Animation Society, the natural patterns and progressive movements in these drawings were put into sequence and animated.
Yoo Lee:
A Man Who Takes Pictures of Flowers
United States, 2025. 13 minutes.
Jung Myung Kim, a photographer who has dedicated over 40 years to capturing wildflowers in Korea, shares his story of pursuing his passion for capturing flowers. Kim finds meaning and happiness in reflecting on his body of work, and his desire to take more pictures keeps him going as he battles an illness.
Sakshi Jain:
So Many Different Things
United States, 2025. 3 minutes.
A gridded series of over 1500 improvised drawings in a tiny sketchbook, each smaller than a centimeter, compiled digitally into an animation.
Wing Yan Lilian Fu:
The Hole
United Kingdom, 2025. 8 minutes.
In an opulent estate park where laughter and leisure are quietly policed, a stern security guard devotes himself to enforcing silence and order. But as he witnesses the joy he forbids, cracks form in his resolve—until the urge to break free overwhelms him, unleashing a rebellion not just against the park’s rules, but against his own repression.
Anna Mantzaris:
Please
Czechia, Finland, France, Norway, Sweden, 2026. 9 minutes.
PLEASE is a dark comedy about humankind’s desire to love and to be loved. An animated short centred around neediness, intimacy and romance. (In a world that preaches self-control, the film explores the sides we try to hide, such as feeling needy and pathetic.)
