What’s Inside That Crate?
Bram Algoed & Pieter Gaudesaboos, Belgium 2023, 9 min.
A girl is searching for a cat, who is traveling the world in a large shipping container. The cat journeys by plane, ship, and train—first in a big container and finally in a small box. After many close calls that end well, the cat eventually reaches the girl.
Moonflower
Natalia Chernysheva, France/Russia 2023, 5 min.
A sunflower searches for and finds its own path. It chooses to sleep during the day and soak in the moonlight at night while everyone else is asleep. Moonflower is a funny, graphic short animation that makes you realize it's perfectly fine to follow your own path.
