<div>This dark and mesmerising collection of horror and thriller shorts showcases the extraordinary power of animation to illuminate the shadowy corners of the human imagination.</div><div><br></div><div>Each film delves into the depths of fear, obsession, and the unknown, transforming intangible nightmares into hauntingly beautiful visual experiences. Through a blend of striking artistry and storytelling, creators from around the world unravel cautionary tales that warn of human folly, bring to life the monsters lurking within, and paint chilling visions of futures twisted by our own desires and mistakes. Together, these animated works remind us that sometimes, the most terrifying worlds are the ones we create ourselves. The programme will feature films from four continents, including some of the most exciting titles on the current festival circuit.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.manipulatearts.co.uk/">Manipulate Arts’</a> Autumn Animation Season is supported by Film Hub Scotland, part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network, awarding funding on behalf of Screen Scotland and the BFI National Lottery.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Tickets are on sale Wednesday 19 August.</b></div><div><br></div><div><b><u>Programme Breakdown</u></b></div><div><br></div><div><b>Buzzkill</b></div><div>Directed by Peter Ahem</div><div><br></div><div><b>Larval</b></div><div>Directed by Alice Bloomfield</div><div><br></div><div><b>Something in the Garden</b></div><div>Directed by Marcos Sanchez</div><div><br></div><div><b>Sisowath Quay</b></div><div>Directed by Stéphanie Landaque & François Leroy<br><br></div><div><div><b>Les Bêtes</b><br>Directed by Michael Granberry</div></div><div><br></div><div><div><b>Regenerative Being</b></div></div><div>Directed by Stas Santimov</div><div><br></div><div><b>Playing God</b></div><div>Directed by Matteo Burani</div><div><br></div><div><b>Praying Mantis</b></div><div>Directed by Joe Hsieh</div>HorrorPT1H26MN/C 18+2026-11-04
