Experiencing Interruptions?

50:50

In 2018, the Swiss Animation Group GSFA has been around for 50 years. To celebrate this, over 50 Swiss animators from all generations and from all regions of Switzerland took part in a project in groups of various sizes to create an omnibus film which reflects the wide spectrum of Swiss animation that is around today.

They produced 15 short films and a framework story, some homogenous, others a patchwork of multiple directors and their individual styles. The result is an eclectic mix of visions ranging from playful birthday celebration antics, over dynamic chases, or alternative interpretations of Swiss traditions, to the downright wild and wacky! With segments between one and five minutes, accumulated into a 40 Minute showcase, this animated present has something for everyone.
