A mostly-dialogue-free collection of new animated short films showing a wide variety of styles and stories from around the world.

Two ships collide in a harbour, an explosion shatters a city, and a sailor is thrown, nude, through the sky. With ears ringing, blood pulsing and guts heaving, he soars high above the mayhem and towards the great unknown. A bold blend of comedy, suspense and philosophy, The Flying Sailor is an exhilarating contemplation of the wonder and fragility of existence.
