Original Film Title: DO SPERM GET KILLED BY COFFEE?
Director’s Name: Mojiao Zhou

Runtime: 2 minutes 31 seconds
Film Description:
The theme of this project is about misinformation and rumours.
In the context of the Covid pandemic, a large number of rumours have been created, and they are all widely circulated. Some of them are harmless or even ridiculous, while others are so serious that they can lead to death or injury. But all in all, rumours, big or small, are affecting people’s lives. So I decided to create a story about rumours. I wanted to use black humour to tell an educational story that was not necessarily dogmatic, but something that people could spontaneously reflect on and be wary of after watching.
The world is full of rumours, but it is also full of ways to check them out.

Runtime: 15 minutes
Film Description:
The background of the stop-motion animation short film Innermost is set in the future featured by highly advanced technologies but collapsed society and civilization system. The cyberpunk-style science fiction world coexists fantastically with the traditional oriental martial arts world. The story follows the emotional entanglement between a long-lost chivalrous couple and a person with regenerated organs starting from a fight for a mystic magic lyre. From the perspective of what regeneration technologies are able of, the short film will arouse the audience to think of how the value of emotions can be magnified or dissolved.
Original Film Title: Milk
Director’s Name: Ashley Reed (CG lead)
Writer’s Name: Ed Winters
Producer: Surge Campaigning C.I.C.
Country of Origin: United Kingdom
Country of Filming: Sweden
Language: English
Runtime: 4 minutes 5 seconds
Film Description:
Blood is thicker than milk.
Milk gives a short insight into dairy farming, yet, as soon we view what happens from the perspective of the mother cow, it becomes clear that this is an industry that runs on the exploitation and suffering of animals. Via animation, the film shows a unique perspective and tells the story of the mother cow in a way that cannot be done from investigative footage alone. Milk centres the cow as the protagonist of her own story and allows us to view what is happening to her from an up close and personal perspective.
Organic, free-range, high-welfare, humanely raised. It doesn’t matter what label we put on dairy products, all dairy cows are victims of an industry that forcibly impregnates them, takes their babies from them, exploits their bodies and then sends them to a slaughterhouse to cut their throats. It’s time to end the dairy industry.
