Many times in the past I've said that animation artists are crazy. In a good way of course. How else can one explain the thinking behind this short that confounds the modern animated medium itself by virtue of the narrative.

Enjoy this excellent film entitled "Symphony Of Two Minds" by Mehanic Generale in Paris and directed by Valere Amirault.

You'll enjoy this powerful short film animated traditionally by Lucas Durkheim of Gobelins. Created by virtue of an exchange program with CalArts.

Another superb animated short to celebrate. From Supinfocom Arles (now MOPA) in 2014 that's gone online. "Room Service" is a surreal experience from the purity of the creative environment such as we would find with schools and especially with the French.

A brilliant animated short created as a graduation project at Supinfocom Arles in 2014. Directed by Geraldine Gaston, Alexis Magaud, Flora Andrivon, Mael Berreur and Soline Bejuy.

The artists at SHED Studio in Montreal just completed a fun short entitled "Outside". This is a preview of what we can expect as the project is slated to expand to a full 7 minute long production by 2018. It's the studio's first original production and they're off to a great start.  Follow the project on Facebook.

It's that time of year when student films start making their way online. This is by Cal Arts animator Xiya Lan and is entitled "You look scary". What happens when a patient and their dentist are mutually frightened of each other? You can see more of the filmmaker's work here.

A simple and down to earth view of creativity and what it means in one's daily life. Animated and narrated by Nas Alhusain who is a freelance animator and illustrator based in Dubei UAE.
