This collection of shorts explores what really lurks in the noise, with an award-winning French animation following a man forced to live with an idiot, an imaginative Belgian documentary that explores the use of Tantalum, and the chance to disconnect and wind down your busy mind, with a pair of meditative Estonian animations. Also screening reflective and beautifully-drawn Scottish animation, imaginative experimental animation from the USA that finds a strange beauty in ennui, another incredible experimental animation that manipulates film in extraordinary ways, an immersive and fascinating Scottish short doc and a fabulously grotesque, and award-winning, 2D animation from Bulgaria.
