The Perpetual Tapestry | Simone HOOYMANS | 2025 | NOR | 10’00
The Perpetual Tapestry is an experimental animation about bees and viruses, collapse and transformation, where everything is connected in a woven tapestry. Despite the humans’ intentions to do good, we seem to move towards our own demise.
Preludio de un destello | Nicolás ONISCHUK | 2025 | ARG | 4’35
In an audiovisual collage where nostalgia meets magnetism, Preludio de un destello fuses early cinema images with contemporary animation, exploring the tension between past and present.
Delete Forever | Felix CÔTE | 2025 | FRA | 16’20
Every day, thousands of people choose to remove their content from the Internet. YouTube, in particular, is home to a large number of ephemeral amateur videos. Quickly deleted, these items are precious archaeological resources.
Fly Train | Ria ZHANG Riwen | 2025 | HKG | 3’43
During an ordinary journey, thoughts drift between scenery and fragmented memories, caught in dreams. Everyday silhouettes transform into the surreal, diving into a poetic stream of consciousness.
Take Control | Mihai GRECU & Mathieu CAYROU | 2025 | ROU – FRA | 3’42
In a post-apocalyptic Eastern Europe, filmmaker Mihai Grecu, composer Mischa Blanos and editor Mathieu Cayrou join forces to create a hallucinatory vision where myth and technology intertwine. Wolves disguised as sheep guide flocks through burning cities and desolate landscapes, while enigmatic entities slip in from another dimension to lead the herd toward uncertain destinies. Grecu’s AI-driven imagery collides with Blanos’ haunting blend of piano and electronics, shaped through Cayrou’s immersive editing into a ritual of survival and transformation. Together, they reimagine the pastoral myth as a contemporary fable of collapse, belief, and transcendence.
It Might Even Be Real | Yael BONNE | 2025 | ISR | 7’10
Investigating the mechanisms at the heart of cinema and animation, an Israeli animator seeks to convince her mind to embrace the illusion of hope—just as it embraces the illusion of movement.
