This eclectic collection of shorts offers a journey through stories that entertain, challenge, and enlighten in equal measure. Each film stands as a testament to the boundless possibilities of animation where emotion, humour, and imagination collide to reveal new ways of seeing the world. Documentary filmmakers often turn to animation to shine a light on stories which would be difficult or unsafe to convey through live action, and as a result the collection of films creates an opportunity to profile voices and stories which often go unheard.
From a deeply human perspective on the war in Ukraine to an irreverent love letter to Portuguese barnacles, the films span a dizzying range of styles and techniques which capture the diversity of contemporary animation. Together, they invite audiences to reflect on the infinite ways that moving images can tell human stories.PT1H10M12A2026-02-07Animated Documentary Shorts (Manipulate Festival)"Animated Documentary Shorts (Manipulate Festival)"
