Short Film Competition: Strange Happenings + Q&A

You know when you’re just going about your day and something happens that completely diverts it? A chance encounter, a mysterious parcel, or an odd message on facebook marketplace…

These animated shorts show how even the simplest of tasks can spiral with the right intervention. A woman on the train tells you how her sleeping husband speaks with the voice of God. Or the ‘Vectorial Superlooper’ and the moth that guards it pay you a special visit. Or don’t you just hate it when you’re at the pub and the bloke opposite you’s head explodes?

Expect award winning animation from around the world. Most of all, though, expect the unexpected.
