Here’s a chance to explore some imaginary worlds and fantastical places in our second selection of kids’ shorts.

Here’s a chance to explore some imaginary worlds and fantastical places in our second selection of kids’ shorts. Full of wonderful animated adventures and heart-warming tales including The Orchestra by Mikey Hill, which imagines a world where tiny musicians follow citizens everywhere playing the soundtracks to their lives - the only problem being, the musicians are terribly out of tune... Konstantin Bronzit's Oscar-nominated film We Can't Live Without Cosmos follows two friends who dream of becoming astronauts, and Flatpack regular Leonid Shmelkov (Hop Frog) is back with the delightful and deliciously absurd A Very Lonely Rooster.

A Very Lonely Rooster Dir: Leonid Shmelkov (Russia 2015 – 6 mins) It's been a hard day for the very lonely rooster. Perhaps tomorrow will be better.

Down to Earth Dir: Anna Vasof (Austria 2015 – 4 mins) It is no secret that shoes say a lot about the person wearing them.

Jonas And The Sea Dir: Marlies van der Wel (Netherlands 2015 – 11 mins) A man casts aside everything in pursuit of his quest to find a place he can call home.

I've Been Everywhere, Man Dir: Cameron Edser (Australia 2015 – 2 mins) This animated time-lapse film was shot over 2 years while Cameron Edser was travelling around Australia.

We can’t live without cosmos Dir: Konstantin Bronzit (Russia 2014 – 15mins) Two cosmonaut friends in training are doing their best to make their common dream a reality. But this story is not only about the dream.

Johnny Express Dir: Kyungmin Woo (South Korea 2015 – 5 mins) Johnny, a space delivery courier, is traveling through space to deliver a package.

Amelia & Duarte Dir. Alice Guimarães, Mónica Santos (Portugal/Germany 2015 – 8 mins) Amelia and Duarte are trying to cope with the feelings that come after a relationship has ended.

The Orchestra Dir: Mikey Hill (Australia 2015 – 15 mins) Imagine a world where a band of tiny musicians follow you and play a soundtrack for your life. In this world lives Vernon; a lonely man whose crippling shyness causes his orchestral musicians to perform terribly out of tune.
