The materials contained in the OVNI Archives are the result of various thematic research projects, a whole constellation of titles with the common denominator of their free expression and reflection on individual and collective fears and pleasures. It builds together a vision of multiple facets, like thousands of little eyes, that deepen and explore our world, or announce other possible ones.
Animated Palestine “is a collective of Palestinian and international animation filmmakers whose films address different aspects of Palestinian life through art. In the face of the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people, we felt the need to come together to support one another as an artistic community, creating stronger bonds among ourselves and helping our films reach a wider audience by telling stories about Palestine. The aim of our group is to showcase different expressions of animated art made in Palestine and about Palestine”.
