Some programs are meant to reassure. This one prefers to drift off course.
Bringing together 11 short films from around the world, WTF OFF explores the margins, cracks and tremors of the image, storytelling and sometimes even the viewer. Here, animation refuses to behave: it shakes, overflows and gleefully dismantles what once seemed stable.
The first part unfolds like a high-voltage laboratory. Through radical visual experimentation and almost physical sensations, films such as I Felt Like Destroying Something Beautiful, The Impossible Mission, Larry, Quantum Jump, When the Mountains Shook and The Right to Be Forgotten challenge perception and invite us to let go.
Then, without warning, the program drifts toward more narrative forms, remaining just as unpredictable. In Ivan’s Need, Finding Uranus, I Live in the Woods, Los Viejos « Drop al infierno » and The Dying Pain of Existence, strange and deeply human characters search for meaning in a world that doesn’t always provide it.
Digital animation, collage, CGI, raw and organic assemblages: each film follows its own logic—or refuses one.
WTF OFF is not just a sequence of short films. It’s a controlled drift, an invitation to lose your bearings and perhaps find new ones.
A Coming of Age sci-fi film about lost and found.
