The Mole and the Earthworm
2015 4+ 3 min
by Johannes Schiehsl
One day, a little mole discovers that all of the other animals have a friend of their same species to play with, but the mole is all alone and very sad. To make matters worse, all the food is starting to rebel. A fat earthworm escapes in a hurry, right under the mole’s nose. The hunt inside the tunnels begins! Finally the earthworm is caught, but just as the mole is about to bite down, he realises that it’s not an earthworm but another mole’s tail. Now that they’ve found each other, there’s a happy ending under the molehill.

Cyclists
2018 Adults 7 min
by Veljko Popović
The cycling season is nearing its grand finale. During the final race, the two men in the lead are competing for more than the Grand Trophy; they are fighting for the affection of a lady and fulfilment of their erotic fantasies. Meanwhile, the small port town prepares for the arrival of a large ocean liner and its dashing captain. Inspired by the art of Vasko Lipovac, Veljko Popović created an animated short marked by unique aesthetics. Painted in vivid colours of summer and with a dash of the erotic, its is a comedy that captures the spirit of a small Mediterranean town.
