THE DUKHA

KIKO AND THE ANIMALS
Kiko is a nightmare for all the animals. How can the animals stand up, make him understand that they are just like him: capable of emotions and love?
STEP BY STEP
A little rain boot wakes up on a river’s side. On her journey through the forest she would overcome any obstacles to find her way back home. On the road she faces many events that will make her grow.
INK
In this ultrashort animated film, we follow an octopus who is a neat freak. But sometimes, even though you have so many arms, you still cannot reach what you are aiming for.
DRY SEA
In this animated film, a fisherman is left alone on the shore of a dried-out sea. He is stuck in the past until a sandstorm overtakes him and redefines the meaning of his existence.
BEMOL
The featherless nightingale sings in the forest. His birdsong soothes the little bear who is having trouble sleeping, calms the squabbling squirrels and entertains the pair of swans swimming in the pond.
NERVOUS
A nervous dog faces her worst fear when she’s dropped off at doggy daycare for the first time: other dogs!
