Short Film City presents a selection of the best animations from French film schools and on Monday 18th May I went to Vernon Street to view them on the lecture theatres big screen. Here is a few of my favourite ones I have picked out because of their professionalism, colour, style and concepts.

A young woman finds herself while hiking on Easter Island.
Having never been to see a short film show and with little knowledge of animation, I really enjoyed this new experience. The quality of the animations was fantastic, each made using different materials and processes keeping it fresh to watch. The selection on show was also great with deep and hard-hitting narratives to keep you thinking even after the show had finished. The french narration was recorded with great quality and the subtitles meant you had to concentrate meaning the words really sank in. Overall the Short Film City event was an exciting event which I am glad to have attended so I thought I'd share my favourite ones with you.
