UA Shorts I. Bridging Gaps // Animation program
The curated animation shorts program, created in collaboration with the LINOLEUM Contemporary Animation and Media Art Festival, showcases the talents of Ukrainian animators. These works are characterized by their strangeness, wildness, and freedom, and they do not adhere to a common theme; each one tells its own distinctive story. While war serves as a prominent theme in many of the films, it plays different roles—sometimes serving as the central antagonist and at other times representing a tragic routine that has become an inescapable part of the characters' lives.
