Animated Documentary Shorts Online

Information

Documentary filmmakers often turn to animation to shine a light on stories which would be difficult or unsafe to convey through live action, and as a result the collection of films creates an opportunity to profile voices and stories which often go unheard. From a deeply human perspective on the war in Ukraine to an irreverent love letter to Portuguese barnacles, the films span a dizzying range of styles and techniques which capture the diversity of contemporary animation. Together, they invite audiences to reflect on the infinite ways that moving images can tell human stories.

Available to view from 20:00 on 6th February until 20:00 on 8th February.
