Animation, Art, and Other Shiny Things
In the spirit of She Who Measures, The Wonder Hospital questions whether our actions and desires are based on false perceptions that we, ourselves, create.
In a mysterious hospital, modification of physical beauty is not what you would expect.

(Darcy Prendergast directing in this video) No doubt we’ll hear from OYW again too.
When sunlight breaks out to play. An imaginative (and brilliant) variation on light animation from Sarah Wickens.
An innovatingly simple stop-motion animation by Tomas Mankovsky.

Naive clown with a fabulous act and a heart of gold wants to join the circus. But this is no ordinary circus via
