Mesmerising, nightmarish or flamboyant, the animated reveries in this programme blur the lines between dream and reality, and plunge us into parallel worlds where anything can happen.

Mesmerising, nightmarish or flamboyant, the animated reveries in this programme blur the lines between dream and reality, and plunge us into parallel worlds where anything can happen. Discovered last year thanks to her beautiful film Symphony N°42, Réka Busci confirms her talent with the aptly named Love, which makes its UK premiere at Flatpack. Steve Warne's impressive student film Pombo Loves You tells in stop motion the story of a father forced to confront a heroic but troubled avatar. Kangmin Kim's 3D printed short Deer Flower turns a family trip into a very peculiar experience, while first prize for exuberance certainly goes to Don't Tell Mom, Sawako Kabuki's crazy and colourful musical education film.

Last Door South Dir: Sacha Feiner (Belgium/France 2015 – 14 mins) "The world is made of floors with several rooms and connected by stairways."

Until one day, they see an unfamiliar streak of light and decide to find the other side of the world.

Vita Lakamaya UK premiere Dir: Akihito Izuhara (Japan 2015 – 8 mins) In Vita Lakamaya, an imaginary world, mysterious hybrid characters live in harmony with nature.
