Competition Programme 2 DESCENDANTS

Most of the world’s animation production is for children. However, these films are about children and are made for adults. The chasm between the generations is deepening, it is not only yawning but also biting. It is inhabited by small villains with burning eyes, tireless rebels. Sooner or later, they will climb out of there and seize the future.
