CARROUSEL (2020)
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.
