Duration

79 min

With this special short film program, we dive into the playful and colorful, but also sometimes dark and disturbing, world of surrealist film.

Three short animated films of completely different styles show how they push the boundaries of the animated medium.

These are all films that approach surrealism in a completely unique and original way, and that excel even more on the big screen. Let go of reality, and let yourself be carried away.
