안녕! / Hello!
Dakyoung Lee (Chungkang College of Cultural Industries), South Korea, 2023, 2’25”
In a world where no one greets each other, a child says hello to the world.

Somni
Sonja Rohleder (Talking Animals), Germany, 2023, 3’15”
The sun sets and the eyes are closing. Rocking from one green leaf to the next, the little monkey glides gently to sleep. Suddenly the world of dreams gets darker, more colourful and wild. Mysterious plants, creatures and shapes line the trajectory through the night. Somni is a cinematic lullaby.

Tümpel / Pond
Lena von Döhren, Eva Rust (Cat Pics/SRF), Switzerland, 2023, 8’30”
A shoal of herrings, adopting fantastic formations, roams the vast ocean. When seagulls suddenly attack, one small herring finds itself stranded in a tidal pool. As it searches desperately for a way out, it discovers many other sea creatures here. And now there is no time for fear: only by joining forces can they hope to defend themselves against the hungry seagull. 

Tuu Tuu Til
Veronica Solomon (Veronica Solomon/Wait a second!), Germany, 2024, 4’32”
For little children the world is full of mystery and unknown and they need the help of a wise companion to navigate the challenges of everyday life. Or maybe it’s their awe and wonder at everything new that fills the everyday life with magic (and nonsense) for the adults around them.

La Boulangerie de Boris / Baking with Boris
Maša Avramović (Folimage/Gebeka Films/Nadasdy Film/Adriatic Animation), France, Switzerland, Croatia, 2023, 8’15”
Every morning, Boris the village baker makes a fresh batch of crusty bread and pastries for all his neighbours until… Achoo! He can’t stop sneezing. He has become allergic to flour. How will he manage to keep baking for everyone in the village?
