The two Best of International Short Film programmes have been hand-picked from other international animation festivals, by the festival's administration. The total of 12 films represents some of the highlights of the international animation scene in the last couple of years.
Somehow the Best of International Short Film programme 1 reads like a fairy-tale in itself, self-proclaimed kings, smugglers, drugged authors and fighting forest spirits are all crucial elements of this programme. What more could you want?
The techniques stretch from good old stop-mo and multiplane to new and creepy ways to use 2D animation and it all ends up in a flashy and at the same time grotesque 3D animation. But it’s not as frightening as it all sounds, the programme has a good portion of humour, often very dark.
Age limit: 15
After losing his fiancée and his good looks in a freak accident, Clyde must confront his inner demon.
Balázs Turai is a 37-year-old Hungarian animation director. He co-wrote and co-directed a series adaptation of Voltaire’s Candide, created the web series called Oligarchia, and directed a short sci-fi satire, The Fall of Rome.
