Shorts 3: Bursting with Bodies
80 minutes
Starter, main course and dessert all in one: Kaboom's International Short Film Competition.
Once upon a time ... Films from all over the world came together on a glorious battlefield. Victory would be for one of them. But there would be no losers, because talent and art are there to be celebrated, to be loved, to be remembered and to be devoured by you ... the audience. The battle would forever be known as Kaboom's International Short Film Competition. And we are honoured to organise that competition year in year out. In 2024, a large number of short films again battle it out for our coveted awards.
This program screened as part of Kaboom Animation Festival 2024
