VAF Short Experimental Competition - Program 1

Interesting short film program with experimental animation. The creators are exploring animation techniques, format and materials.

Experimental film is about breaking the laws of nature and the limits of what one can technically do with animation.

Here, the filmmakers are bold enough to turn the classic genres and conventions of filmmaking upside down. There is room for the absurd, the abstract, the trippy. Something, that one had not just imagined. Still, the filmmaker has to relate to the aesthetics, the technique, the medium and the narrative, not necessarily in a classic chronological narrative way, but by pushing the boundaries of the visual, sensory expression. The films are beautiful images, sensual roller coaster rides, provocations, elements that create a deep astonishment in the audience that gives food for thought.
