What I Dream About

The medium of animation is not the only thing these films have in common. To model or paint the moments that are stuck in our memory for some reason is also a great therapeutic tool. The filmmakers literally put things in motion through their work, and replay their wildest fantasies. But don't be mistaken, the heady glamour of the animating effects hides real human victories and failures, not anything from a toyshop.

Now or Never

Politics isn't the monster in the closet any more. It has pervaded every human activity and become a normal part of our days. But we don't choose the times we are born in. We face systems that cannot predict our desires and that create boxes we cannot fit into. As the protagonists of this block demonstrate, it's time to stand up and let the world know we're here.
