The short films:
A Serious Thought
A little boy can’t sleep. His head is full of thoughts: cute, scary, bitter, or sweet thoughts. Or very serious thoughts about the Earth, which is just a marble in the endless expanse of space. He goes for a little walk in the garden, where the animals help him with his worries.
Into the forest
In an empty film studio, a little monkey wakes up. On a computer screen, a luminous jungle appears, seemingly close by but out of reach. Until the little fellow meets two friends. Together, they set to work and build a jungle thanks to the magic of animated film and imagination
SHORTS FROM THE BOX - Wild Things
Do you really believe that humans can conquer nature? Forget it! Nature always does as it pleases. Even a ‘little matchstickman’ has to learn that the hard way. Can you guess what the little figure comes across along the way? An exercise in ‘out-of-the-(match)box’ thinking.
Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe!
High up in the clouds, the young children of Greek goddesses, gods, and monsters come together to play. Among them is Yios, a little boy with a shining sun on his head. The other kids devise a mean prank which leads to Yios falling from the clouds, all the way down to Earth.
Backstreet Birds
One evening, everyone in the neighbourhood is sitting quietly in front of the television. Penguin is enjoying watching on his own, undisturbed. But his new neighbour, Pigeon, loves a good party. When the two birds start bickering, it can only lead to one thing: a catastrophe!
Extra info
Thanks to film, we can step inside people’s minds. There, we wander between the sombre thoughts of a child weighed down by worry and dazzling fantasies that turn lives upside down. These films navigate between life’s big questions and a wildly unbridled imagination.
