Monsoon Blue — Ellis Kayin Chan and Jay Wong | 2024 | 14:09

The dream of a goldfish to return into its wild form uproars her long-forgotten memories, and a self-conscious monsoon is about to be uninhibited.

Survival HK — Louise Pau | 2019 | 7:06

Telsche — Sophie Colfer and Ala Nunu | 2023 | 8:20

Ice Merchants — João Gonzalez | 2022 | 14:33

The first Portuguese film to ever be nominated for an Academy Award, Ice Merchants features the story of a father and his son, who jump with a parachute from their clifftop house every day to sell ice to the village far away on the ground.

Hand — Tsz-Wing Ho | 2021 | 5:15

Hand is a 2D digital abstract animation that presents the weird beauty of hand creatures composed of gestures, geometric shapes and abstract patterns in order to create a surreal journey for the audience.
