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
Terra Incognita follows life on a mysterious island, inhabited by immortal beings that live in an unbroken chain of eternity, but eternity is a simple illusion broken only by death, nothing changes until it does.
Pernille Kjaer (b. 1989) is a Danish independent animation filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist. A former student at the Academy of Fine Arts, Århus, she completed her studies with a B.A. in character animation from The Animation Workshop, Denmark.
Adrian Dexter is an American/Danish filmmaker and illustrator. He attended the European Film College and The Animation Workshop, Denmark. He directed the short film Væsen before spending two years working in VFX in Stockholm.
