When
Celebrate stop-motion animation with one of the cutest cats to grace the silver screen.
The imagination of a lonely cat can be a wonderful place. Komaneko is a promising young filmmaker who creates her own handmade puppets and shoots stop-motion animation films. One day, while having a picnic with her cast and crew – her two toys – she encounters a monster and sets off on a curious adventure towards an unexpected friendship.
Curator’s Note
Showcasing a range of animation styles, including hand-drawn animation and stop-motion animation, the techniques and textures of Komaneko call to mind the children’s classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964). Joy, wonder, fear and sadness are evoked with subtle visual and aural cues that are revealed throughout Komaneko’s journey, displaying surprising and disarming emotional depth.
Tickets to Kids' Flicks with Feelings sessions include a pre-screening talk that introduces the concept of emotional intelligence to younger viewers, as well as a take-home activity kit.
