SYNOPSIS

Nine Nation Animation presents a selection of recent award-winning animated short films from the world’s most renowned festivals, including Cannes, Berlin, Annecy, Clermont-Ferrand and others. The program spans the globe and a wide variety of animation styles. A cat and a mouse carry on a dysfunctional relationship in a futuristic landscape. A Chinese monk sets out on foot with a tiger during the Tang dynasty and happens upon the giant Buddhas of Bâmiyân. Two bluecollar workers dissect the meaning of "normal" life, as the world crumbles around them. A box of matches succumb, to their detriment, to the appeal of a cigarette. Titles include “Deconstruction Workers” by Kajsa Naess (Norway); “Average 40 Matches” by Burkay Doğan & M.Şakir Arslan (Turkey); “Bâmiyân” by Patrick Pleutin (France); “Please Say Something” by David O’Reilly (Ireland/Germany); “Flatlife” by Jonas Geirnaert (Belgium); “She Who Measures” by Veljko Popoviç (Croatia); “Home Road Movies” by Robert Bradbrook (United Kingdom); “The Tale of How” by The Blackheart Gang (South Africa); and “Never Like the First Time!” by Jonas Odell (Sweden).
