A showcase of international animation giving us a kaleidoscopic journey through animated stories, where characters and narratives reinvent themselves in an attempt to break free from the sociological ideas that once confined them. 

We traverse both real and imagined worlds, from a dystopian tale set in a futuristic mining community, to deeply intimate reflections on the invasion of Ukraine. Exploring ecological themes along the way, from the creation of the first public park during the days of the Industrial Revolution, to a horrific oil tanker spillage leading to a man-made disaster for nature. 

A chance to see an international cross section of animation styles from model animation to drawn, painted and sketched.
