 The Polish animator Piotr Dumala (Crime and Punishment) goes to Annecy with Hipopotamy, a story of sexual aggression purportedly told in the violent behaviour of hippopotamuses.

The Oscar-awarded Thomas Stellmach (for his 1987 stop-motion Quest) presents, along with co-director Maja Oschmannan, an abstract film with various techniques called Virtuos Virtuell.
