🏆 Winner of the Short Film Competition! 🏆

Jury Statement:

Yes-People is a tightly knit story of diverse human characters that are bound together by the restrictions of time and space. The efficient usage of pace and visual information makes it a rediscovery with every rewatch. The film is unusually light hearted for the Nordic-Baltic animation scene, capturing the jury’s benevolence with much of the same humour and unpretentiousness that the characters share between themselves.

One morning an eclectic mix of people face the everyday battle – such as work, school and dish-washing. As the day progresses, their relationships and capacity to cope are tested.
