- La Bride, Nicolas Piret (België): In his graduation film, Nicolas Piret creates an extraordinarily unique concept where he draws over each preceding frame, taking us on an intriguing journey of a dog’s quest for freedom. Each of these frames could be taken straight out of the film and be a part of an expo right here.
- Flower Show, Elli Vuorinen (Finland): In Flower Show, the social codes of the aristocracy are questioned through a female gaze in this beautifully animated film. Subtle colors and flowing movement create a true delight to the eye.
- Storm, Gijs Kast (Nederland): Gijs Kast uses the medium of animation to its fullest capacity, which gives another layer of depth to a seemingly simple concept and captures the struggle of the internal storm perfectly.
