Omschrijving

The Best of Kaboom series consists of 8 short films:

  • The Miracle – Nienke Deutz (15 min)
    The Miracle is a place where the sun always shines, with endless opportunities to relax and food in abundance. Still something is missing.
  • Our Love is Immortal – Ender Yildizhan (4 min)
    A little boy worries about his parents’ relationship in a dystopian future. His father eases his worries through a song.
  • Fox Tossing – Zénó Mira (8 min)
    A grim but fascinating portrayal of a now-forgotten aristrocatic pastime in 17th-century Europe, Fox Tossing zooms in on a cruel phenomenon that is emblematic of the hedonistic life of people in palaces.
  • Melk – Niek de Leeuw (4 min)
    Melk is about the expectations of and realities of being gay.
  • Ardent Other – Alice Brygo (16 min)
    A stunned crowd faces a fire. The threat has no name, a diffuse anguish spreads. A portrayal of human kind observing symbolic fires, possibly the burning of Notre Dame in 2019.
  • All the Best – Pablo Roldan (4 min)
    What is weird, is based on a norm. Weird can be anything, and it can be funny, maybe confusing, but most of all it can be authentic. This animation takes those notions to make something new.
  • Vivarium – Daan Lucas (9 min)
    Two gnomes are chased away by a flood of tears caused by a childish king. When they meet, the king starts playing with them and is happy again, but only briefly.
  • Beautiful Men -Nicolas Keppens (19 min)
    Three balding brothers travel to Istanbul to get a hair transplant. Stuck with each other in a hotel far from home, their insecurities grow faster than their hair.
