Animation shines in the portrayal of surreal worlds beyond gravity and mankind, and lends images to true stories that are too challenging or poignant to re-enact. This package captures a breadth of animation from across the world and across mediums – from prisons and black holes to memory loss and 1980s children’s show characters.
There will also be a 15-minute Q&A with some of the featured filmmakers after the screening on Sept 24.
