CU19: Film Selection
Cartoons Underground is happening on 9th November, 6PM at Kult Yard!
Get Your Tickets Here!
This year, 19 works are selected from 1,416 entries submitted from 80 different countries. Out of these 19 films, 6 student films coming from LASALLE College of the Arts and Nanyang Technological University, will compete for the ‘Best Singapore Student Animation’. Standing out from these selections are The Light by Hae Min Park and For Lorn by Hoo Yan Han and Im Eun Sue. These two student works take on difficult stories on longing and display huge potential for long form projects with mature themes.
Many of the selected short films this year are 2D hand-drawn animation with a leaning towards simple abstraction. They are all able to create believable worlds with engaging narrative stories. As the overall standard of entries increases, we look for more than humorous entertainment in our selection and seek out unique directorial voices who have visions and potential.
We want to point out Knife Hanging From A Tree by JiHee Nam from South Korea. This director has a charming piece of work that uses space and colour, and the absence of it, very well in this quirky yet subtle fight between her characters. Her work joins the international selection of 13 films in competition for the Best Animation, Audience Choice and Special Mention awards.
We also dedicate the second part of our International Competition to focus on Women in Animation, with excellent films that shine light on representing the female perspective in animation.
Come enjoy this special screening on 9 November (Sat) and meet the directors!
9 November (Saturday), 6 pm
Venue: Kult Yard, 195 Pearl’s Hill Terrace #01-54, Singapore 168976
Correction: The date has been changed to 9 Nov (Sat). The previous announcement of 26 October has been postponed.
