The 5 short film competition programmes are presented with captions for D/deaf and Hard-of-Hearing audiences.
What makes us who we are? And what traces do we leave behind?
These animated stories about connection explore a broad spectrum of relationships. A mother reflects on raising a child in a country that doesn't feel like home (On the surface); a boy rediscovers his grandmother through a folk song she recorded when she was young (Charlotte) and a girl says farewell to the neighbourhood she grew up in (Bye Little Block!).
We’re also very excited to see the return of Joanna Quinn’s cheeky and loveable character Beryl in the Oscar-nominated Affairs of the Art!
