Animated short movies are
not only a fun diversion and
an escape from a sometimes
banal daily life – they also
feature a wide array of
creative prowess that allows
us to travel to the outskirts of
our imagination. 2D, 3D,
black and white, aquarelle,
paper cut, animated painting,
puppets... the research and
experimentation has no limits.
