The 22nd Annual Animation Show of Shows

Directed by Patrick Smith

Featuring 10 internationally acclaimed animated short films from Canada, France, Germany, Iceland, Poland, Russia, Switzerland and the US

This 22nd edition comprises 10 films -- nine recent, along with one restored classic -- which deal with both the anxieties and hopes of a world faced with a seemingly endless series of existential crises. All are inventive, their tone ranges from the whimsical to the profound; their techniques, from stop-motion to hand-drawn to computer-aided.
