A provocative programme on the borderline between visual art and animation has been selected from the international creations of Montevideo/Time Based Arts. These are often idiosyncratic films with unconventional subjects, approaches and forms. The question running like a red thread through the programme is: when can something be called animation?

This program screened as part of HAFF 2004
