This programme offers a unique perspective on animation, as it explores innovative and experimental techniques that go beyond traditional storytelling methods. With a focus on creating a deeper and more sensory experience, the programme aligns with the principles of expanded cinema, which aim to expand the boundaries of cinema to incorporate other art forms. The works featured in the programme utilise new methodologies and practices, such as real-time engines, motion-capture, machine learning, algorithmic animation, glitch and hyperrealistic materials. It encourages audiences to experience the physical presence of animation, and to accept it as something that transcends reality.
