The Longing Of The Trees (Spain) 7:42
Directed by Jesús Pertíñez López
Beautifully animated, The Longing Of The Tress explores a world of difference. At varying paces, layer by layer the true essence of each character is revealed.
Eilid (Ireland) 3:46
Directed by Naomi Hanlon
A non-linear animated short. This four minute film focuses on the experience of autistic girls in an adverse society. Representation is important, and if we want to continue making inviting and influential cinema, we can’t keep telling the same stories.
The Want (Greece) 6:39

Leaving behind social norms and opening up new ways of creation and expression, The Want is an intimate portrayal of frustration, friendship and the need to be heard. Giving us new suggestions for the art of acting and the identification of the viewer with the roles.
