Over 50 animators from 19 countries collaborated to support Belarusians in their peaceful protests for fair elections and freedom. The animators offered their interpretation of the recent events in Belarus, creating the animated chronicles of these dramatic events. The white-red-white flag is a historical symbol of Belarus and has become a symbol of peace, protest, and hope for the people of Belarus. The youngest animator who participated in the project is only 12 years old.

In this poetry-film, of a poem by Emily Dickinson, the poet ponders on her mortality. She has not told her garden of her immanent demise; she will not lightly share the news with anybody, anywhere, as if death is a unique occurence. The film was made using a pinscreen animation device. The soundtrack consists of harp improvisation inspired by the poem.

It's a hot day in Africa and the frog can no longer bear the heat. She takes a sip, but then can't stop drinking. Once all the water is gone, the other animals must think of a plan to make the frog give back the water.

Based on the book "Little bird’s ABC" (Het vogeltjes ABC) by Piet Grobler.
