Short Docs does not refer to small doctors (it would be cool, though!), but to short documentaries, an often-neglected genre in the film industry. Yet, animation can help bring real stories to life and to deal with traumas, memories, difficult themes and so on. These short animated documentaries don’t mess around: real stories, real subjects, real emotions.
