Weasel
Timon Leder, Slovenia, 2016, 11'35”, no dialogues
A hungry weasel attacks a flock of birds living on a tree, the last one still standing upright. The birds in the canopy are trying to keep the tree in balance, while the weasel is persistently trying to climb up its trunk. Its persistence is putting the tree’s fragile balance ever more at risk, and its growling stomach is not letting up until it is too late.

Oh, So Convenient
Hung Huei Jen Red, Taiwan/Estonia, 2022, 4'35'', no dialogues
A man has a unique way of using toilet paper after pooping. A couple always order food delivery because they don’t like to put on clothes. A family has a way of avoiding washing dishes. A woman likes her table to be sparkly clean. Too much waste? No problem, flush it all down the toilet!

Orgiastic Hyper-Plastic
Paul Bush, Danska, GB, 2020, 6'50”, subtitles
An animated extravaganza of plastic collected from beaches, roadsides, attics and junk shops. This is an elegy to a love affair that has gone sour, a fond farewell to that most beautiful material that has enslaved our planet – plastic.

Hedgehogs and the City
Evalds Lacis, Latvia, 2013, 10’, no dialogues
One spring morning, animals wake up from their winter sleep and find that their forest is taken over by people who have built a city there. They understand they need to find new survival strategies. How will they manage?
