This year’s films portray characters who confront societal pressures, whether it’s environmental destruction, discrimination, or personal identity struggles that tell stories about the urgency of sustainable living. Simultaneously, they explore the fight for equal rights, challenging systems of oppression, striving for a future of fairness and justice. Using a wide range of innovative, experimental animation techniques (and lots of wool), the films underscore existential crises and struggles marginalised groups face, whether due to migration, race, gender, or sexual orientation, while also capturing the beauty of resilience, love, and unity in the face of adversity. Together, these deeply personal yet universal narratives create space for empathy, awareness and reflection in the search for belonging and a meaningful life.


Disrupting The Narrative was co-curated with Osbert Parker – BAFTA and Emmy nominated Director.


Recommended age 15

The divine female figure in West African sculpture is viewed through an exploration of the director’s Bété ancestry, drawing upon the spiritual iconography of the Bété people and other tribal groups on the Ivory Coast.
