A simple idea brilliantly executed. A single line drawing capturing the big and little details of the humble bus ride.
Shuteye Hotel
Bill Plympton, USA, 7’00
A film noir murder mystery that takes place in a sleazy hotel. As cops investigate the gruesome murders they become victims of this evil force. What "Jaws" did to swimming, "Shuteye Hotel" will do for sleeping.
En Tus Brazos
FX Goby, E. Jouret, M. Landour, France, 5'15
A deco infused, tango spectacular. Jorge Moreno, tango dancer of the century, finds some special iinspiration after an accident.
Bendito Machine

Two civilisations summon the gods in this peculiar game of king of the hill. Who will come out on top?

A flock of callers has just left a message for all of us.
Forget Me Not

Come Rain or Shine

A (not so) tongue and cheek take on the ups and downs of British weather.

Out where an imagination is allowed to gracefully dance free there is a world of ever changing styles and details.
Not The End
Clemens Steiger, Switzerland, 10'00
Freddy has just ended an affair, but the cactus on the balcony ledge still requires tending. A prickly tale of astronauts and wilted love.

One man’s quiet day fishing through a hole in the ice is disrupted (to say the least) by the unannounced arrival of a cosmonaut.
Crossing The Stream
Skip Battaglia, USA, 4'00
An absorbing meditation on water …. and on the way water is animated. A view from both sides of the divide.
Recto Verso
Gabriel Jacquel, France, 8'00
You can’t mix black and white. It doesn’t work – there’s no middle ground just lots of boundaries to push.
No Room for Gerold

After ten long years in his flat Gerold the crocodile is being thrown out, but does Ellen the wildebeest have something to do with it?
Taste Of Life
