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
A man who has a unique way of using toilet paper after pooping. A couple who always order food because they don’t like to put on clothes. People use bags for every little thing. Just like that, the convenience of life is at your fingertips which we enjoy every single day. Too much waste? No problem, flush them all down to the toilet!
Red, Hung Huei Jen is an animation filmmaker who is especially interested in stop-motion animation but also specialized in 2D animation, AfterEffect animation, and motion graphic design. Red searches for the absurdities and vexation in life and then creates weird stories and characters with a tint of sarcasm and humour.
