Animation Release of the Week: We Are Human, After All 🐇❄️🎬

A wild hare battles winter, hunger, and hunters, until he discovers the strangely comfortable life of domesticated rabbits… and decides to try it out.

But comfort comes at a cost...

Jan Míka crafts a sharp, slightly dark & ironic tale about survival vs. conformity, told through a raw, tactile mix of hand-drawn animation, cut-out textures, and live-action compositing that gives the film its gritty, almost documentary-like feel.

Premiered at Annecy and beyond, equal parts fable, satire, and existential crisis… but with rabbits!

Animation Release of the Week: Le Printemps (The Spring) 🎬👹🌸

Step into the forest for "Le Printemps," a haunting & joyful 15-minute ritual by director Jérôme Boulbès. Created during a residency at Villa Kujoyama (Kyoto), this film is a masterful blend of digital surrealism and Japanese traditional aesthetics.

A unique hybrid of motion capture and professional puppetry techniques that makes the masked characters feel eerily alive.

No dialogue, only a powerful acoustic score featuring the Shô, Taiko, and Koto that drives the ceremony toward its sacrificial climax.

👀 Don't miss this joyful celebration of spring that plays like a dark, ancient myth unearthed!

Animation Release of the Week: Kreismurriana (2026) 🎬🐾

Our release of the week, "Kreismurriana," is a masterclass in lively, handmade textures. Director Matteo Bernardini uses watercolors and paper techniques to create a surrealist trip through 19th-century Romanticism and Ghotic fiction.

No dialogue, just pure, hallucinatory motion. A surrealist tribute to E.T.A. Hoffmann that focuses on the visual rhythm of Robert Schumann’s music.

It’s less like watching a movie and more like watching a sketchbook come to life in a fever dream! 🎨✨

Our new animation of the week, “The Sun is Bad”, takes us to the neon-soaked streets of 1980s Hong Kong. Inspired by the high-energy grit of HK New Wave and classic action cinema, a temperamental girl decides she’s had enough and officially declares war on the sun☀️🏙️

If you’re shivering under a blanket, this nostalgic battle against the heat is the perfect watch.

Each episode focuses on a particular aspect of our social behavior: power, seduction, empathy, selfishness, the desire for emancipation, feelings of love, fear of the unknown, of foreigners, downgrading, feelings of injustice...

⭐Don't miss this stop-motion series! ⭐
