CARROUSEL (2020)

Menu

ABOUT THE FILM

Rose grows up with her snails in the park. Their park. One day she is attacked by intruders. Or is it the other way around? A film about dehumanization.

Carrousel reflects on polarization of people. People quickly think and feel ingroup versus outgroup. This can easily be manipulated irrationally. The dehumanizing of people is caused by a strong ‘us – they’ thinking. This form of dehumanization is the starting point of this short film.

Short animated film by Jasmine Elsen.

The project is realised in the co-production of Animal Tank (BE). The  realisation was supported by Flemish Film Fund VAF and Czech Film Fund. The international sales agent of this film is Miyu Distribution.
