The competitive animation program of the 8th Short Movie Club Film Festival “NEFILTRAVANAE KINO”. This year’s animation program is largely apocalyptic. The cause of doomsday can be either a cut down tree or a barking dog. At the same time, people act as passive observers or as writers of the apocalypse. In other words, if the end of the world does not come, it should have been fictionalized!
The total length of the films is 54 minutes.
