We present 20 animated gems over two programmes in our Academy Award qualifying World Animation Competition.


The first World Animation Competition programme at LIFF 2024 includes animated gems from Belgium, China, Croatia, Japan and South Korea. The films in this programme will offer LIFF audiences the chance to be inspired by the creative possibilities and beauty of the form. From the edgy, comic genius of Hurikán from the Czech Republic, the delicately crafted Chinese short Bergamot, to the intricate stop motion set design in Nina Gantz’ Wander to Wonder, this selection has magic and wonder at its core. The animations in this programme will make you think, feel and laugh, adding sparkle to a November day.

Runtime: 94 Minutes

Countries: Belgium, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland
