These shorts go way off the beaten track. They bring you something you never knew you wanted. Poetry is everywhere, you just have to look.
These shorts go way off the beaten track. Eccentric, boundary-crossing, peculiar, bizarre, unorthodox, weird, idiosyncratic ... Call it what you want. But these animated shorts definitely bring something to the table you never knew you wanted. Curated by Anna Eijsbouts.

Arrest in Flight
This experiment in film sets the stage for a hitherto unseen magical life form. The film focuses on the non-obvious character of movement when transferred to an alien object thus endowed with the life derived from the movement’s true to life source.
Dog, Ball, Park
A new and experimental perspective about a dog running after a ball at the park.
Fuar: A Counter-Memory
Fuar’: A Counter-Memory is an animation series that draws attention to the collective amnesia of the 1922 Great Fire of Smyrna/Izmir by examining the urban park, Fuar, built on top of its ruins. By layering two different printmaking techniques, drypoint etching and risograph, the project seeks to explore and highlight the contrast between eras and to inform them of each other.

Sometimes I Don’t Know Where the Sun
A lobster, a cat and a deer. Dangerous rebels. A human, sometimes here and sometimes there. He wants connection. He comes across the deer. He meets the cat. They reject each other. Big disappointment. Our human follows the way of the sun, to reach the animals through sharing an apple.
Still Life with Emotion Blur
Suppressed feelings in a golden frame. Seven apples practice a passive-aggressive gesture - finally no longer quiet.
Yet Again
Animated music video in which abstract and figurative images interact. Made with the stop motion technique, using plasticine.
