Official Festival Trailer – Opening Light (2015)
“Ancient mechanics come to life. Light passes through elements of glass and metal. Hand-painted animations skim ghostly over the silverscreen. Nostalgic moments from a forgotten time.”

As the main opening trailer for different programs of the animation festival, it should always give the audience a sense of magic and nostalgia, opening up their minds and hearts for what’s coming next.
