Les Gobelins Annecy 2012 Shorts

With an Irish theme set for this years Annecy international animated film festival (Which concluded on June 9th), the folks at the French animation school Les Gobelins set out to provide a series of shorts which play on both cultural and political aspects of the divided nation. While some of the shorts took a more tongue in cheek approach to the theme, some of the other shorts like 'The Line' (Above) and 'Matches' definitely touched on the turbulent past of Ireland, with an optimistic twist.

Check out the other 4 shorts: Holy Sheep, Hurley's Irish, Matches and Beyond the Sea after the break!
