CUT THE TIE

A very beautiful musical animated film. Bright, fluid, emotional, and very clearly reveals a relevant psychological problem of modern girls. A unique combination of meaning, beauty, and music. Gave me goosebumps. Thank you!

Live Screenings Attendee

BOX OF HOPE Screenplay Poster V.jpg
A LITTLE FULL

An amazing animated film with unexpected twists. A combination of softness, beauty, and sharp emotionality. The deepest meaning and transformation of perception. Very cool how the "cliché" wisdom about accepting oneself is stunningly simply revealed here in the form of beautiful imagery. Thank you!

Live Screenings Attendee

BOX OF HOPE Screenplay Poster V.jpg
THE LAST FOREST

A very emotional, soulful, and beautiful animated film. So many deep meanings from different spheres of life are touched upon, so much is intertwined, that it seems impossible to fit all this so harmoniously and interestingly into a small animated film. Touched me to the core, to tears. Thank you!

Live Screenings Attendee

BOX OF HOPE Screenplay Poster V.jpg
KAWAUSO

A very unusual and mesmerizing animated film. It seems like nothing special is happening, something slow, drawn-out, incomprehensible... but it draws you in and evokes interest, surprise, tension, a sad hopelessness with a touch of warm serenity at the end. Stunning hand-drawn animation and amazing sound effects. Thank you!

Live Screenings Attendee

BOX OF HOPE Screenplay Poster V.jpg
DUELO

The animated film made a very deep impression. A bright, sharp surrealism unfolds into deep emotions and catharsis. Thank you!

Live Screenings Attendee

BOX OF HOPE Screenplay Poster V.jpg
THE SYNTHETIC AGE

A bright, harsh, and complex animated film. Makes you think about where humanity might slide. An extremely exaggerated reality that you don't want to realize, but it's very useful and relevant. Thank you!

Live Screenings Attendee

BOX OF HOPE Screenplay Poster V.jpg
THE WEAKER BROTHER WILL DROWN

A very bright and beautiful film. In some places, "flaws" are visible, but they are more than compensated by successful imagery and deep meaning. The flow of one drama into another, their interconnection, origins, and transformation are strikingly shown. Thank you!

Live Screenings Attendee

BOX OF HOPE Screenplay Poster V.jpg
EMERGENCE

An incredibly cool impression from this seemingly simple and short animated film. But I can't describe this impression - something warm, deep, and real. Something about the meaning worth living for. Thank you!

Live Screenings Attendee

BOX OF HOPE Screenplay Poster V.jpg
CUT THE TIE

Among the more moving pieces in the festival program, and the most formally precise.

Lena Schmidt

BOX OF HOPE Screenplay Poster V.jpg
THE BOY WHO ERASED KISSES

A film that earns its warmth rather than assuming it I'd watch it again.

Sergei Nazaryan

ANTSY ANTICS

As an independent 2D animator I can relate a lot to this production. The cartoony timing of that little ant is so good, aaaanddd now I got that song stuck in my head hahaha

CUT THE TIE

Loved the experimental aspect with the mix of music, it could play like a segment in Disney's Fantasia. It's no easy task to animate a dance sequence. And I liked the optimistic ending.

I CAN HELP YOU BUMBLEBEE!

Super wholesome, loved the 3D assets, made me want to learn Blender more. That Bee looked great.
