YOLO
65 minutes
It might be the most overused acronym in pop culture today, but #YouOnlyLiveOnce (a.k.a. seize the day) remains a powerful phrase, especially to rally those of us who have become more apprehensive with age. This program of short films celebrates lives of hedonism without limits or fears.
From 1970s era rebels in The Man in the Blue Gordini and crazy evenings on the town in Joanna Quinn’s classic Girls Night Out, to the horrors of letting your inner self run free in the puppet animation Manoman, we’ll be looking at the eccentric and unadjusted – people who refuse to grow up and live only for the here and now. So, what’s on your bucket list?
This program screened as part of KLIK Amsterdam Animation Festival 2017
