A blind man accidentally loses his guide-dog. Alone in the dark in a big city, he discovers that his strength lies in recognising his own vulnerability.
Souvenirs, memories, nostalgia, alienation, the ephermal quality of life ...these are the subjects of this animated diary. The film is not made in the usual way (screenplay, storyboard) and was born at the moment when the author sat at his desk and began animating.
Expansion remixes the images of Matsumoto’s Esctasis into an more colourful psychedelic short.
A silent figure known as The Assassin travels through a nightmare underworld of tortured souls, ruined cities and wretched monstrosities forged from the primordial horrors of the unconscious mind of Phil Tippett, the world's preeminent stop-motion animator.
"Duet" is an audiovisual piece exploring the relationship between two sisters. In separate existence, their eventual permeation is found with synchrony and saturation.

This family story contains a private reading of ten years in the history of Spain, from the birth of two brothers of the author until the death of the Spanish dictator in 1975.
A collaboration between artist Edwin Rostron and musician Supreme Vagabond Craftsman.
This is the world of Washed Out's (Ernest Greene) new album Mister Mellow. Released as an integral companion to Mister Mellow is a full length visual counterpart that utilizes almost every form of animation (collage, claymation, hand-drawn, stop-motion). The aesthetic of each video reflects the handmade, "paint outside the lines" style of Greene's music – and again is a reaction against the sterile, hyper-realistic renderings of most modern digital-based art. The rich, detailed patchwork that makes up Mister Mellow (and its visual accompaniment) is unique in this day of quick-fix, throwaway music-culture.
A guy gets out of bed. A curious boy looks for magic. A bunny chases dreams away.
A disturbing puppet short exploring the concept of creativity.
An animated exploration of the restraining and freeing of a bounded soul. A journey on the never-ending search of belongingness.
A 5 minute, 2D, straight-ahead animated film by Bruce Bickford.
It's supposed to be his day off.
Atop a hill, under a full moon sky, Violeta and Rosa are about to embark on an astral travel.
"Phoools" dives into an artist's obsession with the simplest of shapes - a few ovals rotated around a circle, universally agreed to be called a flower. As he starts seeing this pattern everywhere, from drain covers to textiles, his perception shifts. The line between observer and observed blurs, reality melts into imagination.
