SUMMARY:International Competition Program #8: Shar Studio Spotlight [2025]
DESCRIPTION:\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\nThe International Competition Programs are the backbone of the entire MIAF mission. Drawn from more than 2,300 submissions they showcase the best, most imaginative animating talent on the planet in a series of programs in which the only rule is diversity.\n\n\n\nEvery year we play films that emerge from Russia’s ‘Shar Studio’. Part school, part studio the films that annually emerge are often blend a fascination and reverence to classic Russian animation aesthetics with an outward, openly internationalist tone of storytelling and ‘world building’. We never have enough space to show all the ones we’d love to show so this year we dedicate an entire program to a look back on their last three years’ productions.\n\n\n\nMIAF 2025 trailer – International Competition Program #8: Shar Studio Spotlight\n\n\n\nOde To Perfume – Maxim Litvinov\n\n\n\nOde To PerfumeMaxim LitvinovRussia, 3’54, 2024What does a scent look like?
