Animation NOW! 2018
A celebratory showcase of some of the year’s best and brightest animated shorts. If you’re looking to sample the animation ecosystem in all its multi-coloured, variously shaped glories, there’s no better place to begin.
Animation NOW! Crazy Towne
A wild and otherworldly programme of animation at its craziest and most creative.
Animation NOW! Handmade
Drawings move, paintings come to life and puppets take the stage, one painstaking frame at a time.
Animation NOW! Morph ‘n’ Move
The impossible and improbable comes to life in this kinetic collection of animation that not only pushes the envelope, but busts it wide open.
Blue My Mind
A mysterious high-school girl dives headfirst into the vices of teenage life, while undergoing a radical and uncontrollable transformation of her own, in Lisa Brühlmann’s formidable debut feature.
Eldorado
Markus Imhoof’s powerful doco combines agonising encounters with asylum seekers adrift and in limbo with a moving personal recollection of his own relationship with a refugee during WWII.
The Image Book
Le livre d’image
The latest essay film from Jean-Luc Godard, still going strong, is a dense yet intellectually dexterous vision board on cinema, image-making and the state of the world.
