The Education

Director: Klaartje Schrijvers
Producer: Lunanime – Annemie Degryse

Synopsis

The Education is a short animated film about a teenage girl living through the existential crisis of her family and the destructive psychological and physical conflicts that come with it. The story is told, partially by the girl as an adolescent, partially by the girl as a grown-up. Past and present alternate as do causes and effects.

Nobody escapes the spiral of destruction in this crisis, yet everybody responds differently to it. The teenage girl, the main character of the film, is both perpetrator and victim of several conflicts. She is a series of personae, just like her father, with whom she has most but not all conflicts. The mother and the sister also have their particular ways of inflicting damage and treating received blows.

The Tie

Director: An Vrombaut
Production company: Lunanime, Creative Conspiracy
Producer(s): Annemie Degryse, Luc Van Driessche

Synopsis

On a barren planet roams a small giraffe who is ignored by the taller giraffes. Then the small giraffe meets a giraffe with a very long neck, wearing a very long tie. He starts to climb up the tie. The two giraffes play together, the little one swinging on the tie of the big one. But suddenly, a malicious cloud appears and tears the tie in two. The little giraffe falls down. He lands safely, but then notices that the tall giraffe is stuck inside the cloud. The little giraffe uses the tie in ingenious ways to get the attention of the tall giraffe, all to no avail… Finally, the other giraffes help him build a ladder. The little giraffe wants to return his part of the tie to the tall one, but his friend refuses the gift. Instead, the tall giraffe turns the tie into a bow-tie propeller. The small giraffe frolics in the air around the tall one, unaware that their reunion will be short-lived…
