What it is about

This program features nine award-winning local animation shorts, including: The Nonsense Play, which uses absurdist storytelling to portray a school obsessed with grades; Frangipani, a delicate story of exploring redemption and reconciliation; We Will Rob You, a dark comedy satirizing modern the current society; BROC!, a fantasy story about two zombies transforming into humans; and The Light Chaser, an inspiring story about a small old-fashioned tow truck with big dreams.

What to expect

Nine award-winning shorts from the Animation Support Program, screened back-to-back in 88 minutes. The lineup moves from the grade-obsessed school of The Nonsense Play to the zombie-human switcheroo of BROC!, with a darkly comic heist in We Will Rob You and the quieter redemption story Frangipani in between.
