LIAF 2018: International Competition Programme 5 – Long Shorts (15)

October 7, 2018 by LIAF

The backbone of the whole LIAF mission. We’ve emerged from under the pile of 2,600 entries to put together a series of screenings that showcase the best 117 new films from every corner of the world. The one thing they have in common is that we think they’re the pick of the crop. This is your annual window into the international indie animation universe.

Some films need extra time to develop their themes, to grow and draw us more comprehensively into their worlds. This competition programme is dedicated to showcasing the best of these longer films. 7 longer short films, 7 stunning stories including the winner of the Berlin International Film Festival Short Film Audience Award – ‘Solar Walk’ by Reka Buksi.
