Synopsis
AIFF welcomes back Mark Shapiro from the Portland-based animation studio LAIKA with this specially curated program—a collection of shorts that evokes a description of the current world of animation as well as the diverse personal emotions of the animators themselves. Humor, intellectual curiosity, heartbreaking beauty—the common denominator is the soul within each production.
