Films in Competition 9: Animation

These recent animated films from near and far include two anthropomorphic ducks and a pet robot at an amusement park; resonating cycles of rhythm; persuasion and deception for personal gain; a family visiting a funeral home; two drawings of the same situation; memory loss, errors, surveillance, and addiction; the magnetic sun; a train ride across Canada; a hidden world of glittering debris; a mortality-infused landscape; the self of a form that is no longer singular; time and emotion; the limitation of our perceiving systems; and sweet, salacious, and spooky secrets.
