The Girl Who Wasn't Afraid of Bears | Lea Vučko | SVN | 20’

In a silent animated folktale rooted in Balkan mythology and told with the starkness of a feminist western, a young girl escapes the roles forced on her by disguising herself as a man. On her journey, she outwits devils, slays beasts, and earns the respect of kings—proving to the world that she has no fear. But her final test comes when she meets a shapeshifting dragon who sees what she’s tried to hide all along. The Girl Who Wasn’t Afraid of Bears is a story about courage, identity, and the quiet cost of becoming what the world expects.

Beetles | Piotr Chmielewski | POL | 10’

The intention behind the people who created this animation is to open a space for discussion with children about what privilege is. Are we aware of our privileges? What do we conceive of when we don't handle something that comes easily to others? What to do when we see someone struggling with a challenge that is not a problem for us? The story of the beetles inspires the search for answers to these questions.
