Short animated film section – Primary school

THE NAMELESS COWBOY AND DYNAMITE HORSE (1′), 2025
🎬 Luma Film Animation School, Zagreb
📝 This is a story from the Wild West. A bull escapes from the ranch and goes into the city. The rancher, the bull’s owner, wants to return the bull to the ranch and rushes to find him. The film has a happy ending and features typical scenes from films about the Wild West.
👁‍🗨 A cowboy, a horse and a bull are the protagonists of this western, a very skillfully animated black and white film. The young author of this animation showcases her talent for drawing by using the vibrancy of a black line on a white background, as well as expertly changing the film format.
🏆 1st award of the expert jury (63rd Croatian Children’s Film Festival)

GIGACHU (1′), 2025
🎬 Photo Cinema Video Club Zaprešić, Zaprešić
📝 Don’t throw stones at birds. I mean, really. Don’t throw stones at birds! No, no, no! That would be this film’s message.
👁‍🗨 Witty and fun, playfully colourful, featuring a cheerful, catchy song, this film follows the rapid growth of a bird that leads its owners on an unexpected adventure.

📝 This is a story of a little mouse who, dissatisfied with his life in a big city, decides to go out into the world to find a better place to live.
