SUMMARY:International Shorts Showcase #1 [2025]
DESCRIPTION:\nTICKETS\n\n\n\nA terrific selection of new animated shorts from all over the world screening throughout the day. Curated into two programs to showcase the diversity of styles, genres and stories that only animation can deliver. \n\n\n\nThis program includes a couple of visually striking Australian films both channelling complex and intriguing ‘sub narratives’ below the service which we’ve invited the filmmakers to discuss with us in our ‘Filmmaker Conversation’ sessions.\n\n\n\nTrailer\n\n\n\nMIAF’s IAD 2025 trailer – International Shorts Showcase #1\n\n\n\nFilms\n\n\n\nNo Vacancy – Miguel Rodrick\n\n\n\nNo VacancyMiguel RodrickColombia, 7’15, 2024Inside a bizarre, crumbling motel, a man drifts in search of relief from his past; a past that lingers in every room as boundaries between reality and memory blur and shift without warning.\n\n\n\nGizaki – Xanti Rodriguez\n\n\n\nGizakiXanti RodriguezSpain, 8’00, 2025Mind-surfing the subconscious of a friend in need and hoping to help, a gentle creature emerges into a world beyond even its wildest imaginings.\n\n\n\nO Bingo! – Ian Kelewae\n\n\n\nO Bingo!Ian KelewaeUSA, 5’06, 2025Upon sniffing out and biting down on a very mysterious plant, Bingo the dog leads his owner into a world of psychedelic wonder and opportunity.\n\n\n\nUrban Duo – Hongyu Yue\n\n\n\nUrban DuoHongyu YueChina, 6’20, 2024A cleverly composed dual reflection on urban design, ecology, and man’s place in a world that seems to be speeding up with every passing day.\n\n\n\nHanna A Faerie Tale – Keanu Hoi\n\n\n\nHanna: A Faerie TaleKeanu HoiAustralia, 6’04, 2023A mother and daughter arrive in Munich to visit the mother’s terminally ill sister, Hanna, only to re-open a strange past riddled with peculiar suspicions.\n\n\n\nTrap – Dennis Tupicoff\n\n\n\nTrapDennis TupicoffAustralia, 3’50, 2024An experimental cartoon where the rectangular film Frame has no role at all.
