The greatest competitions: the Olympics, the World Cup, De Eredivisie, the NBA, your local darts tournament, and of course … The Kaboom Short Film Competition. Forget the Super Bowl, the most exciting show on the planet is this competition filled with animated shorts from all corners of the galaxy.
Here 59 films – including student shorts, films by seasoned directors and even music videos – battle it out for our coveted awards.
