For the 25th anniversary of the festival, a programme featuring prize winners and highlights from the rich festival history is obviously unavoidable. In the build-up to the festival, visitors of the website could nominate films from the past 25 years for the Shareware programme. Not necessarily films that were once screened at the festival. Trend-setting examples of animation in the rapidly changing media landscape are screened in the Re-Imagining Animation section.
This program screened as part of HAFF 2010

Flesh
The Empire unveils everything but sees nothing. Its enemies idealize everything but tolerate nothing. What if it all came down to flesh?
The Albatross
Epic sailing trip illustrated by nineteenth-century wood engravings, directly applied onto colour film. Adaptation of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
The Darra Dogs
Memories as seperate incidents, rather than moulding them into a conventional narrative. A memorial to the mortal terrors of childhood, the sadness of death and loss, the not-knowing of so much, and of course to the dogs themselves.
Waltzing the Storm
On a deserted fisherman's island a landlord, a prostitute and a gravedigger are waiting for clients, accompanied a sad chantey.
