Clearer than you think
Director Han Ji-Won uses animation to tell the stories of four lost souls: a final-year-film-student who longs for love, and loses track of life; an office lady whose boyfriend makes her suffer; a teenage girl who doubts if she should continue pursuing her Metal dream; and a little poodle who is determined to look for its keeper… You look at these four lost souls, and somehow you see your own reflection.

A mash-up of fairy tales featuring a fiery dragon, an evil queen, toe-tapping songs, and non-stop gags.
Moomins on the Riviera
In search of adventures of their own, the Moomins, Snorkmaiden and Little My, set sail for the Riviera. After a journey fraught with menacing storms and desert island dangers, Snorkmaiden is dazzled by the attentions of a playboy and Moomin learns that jealousy’s sting is the most painful of all. When Moominpappa befriends an aristocrat and adopts the name ‘de Moomin’, an exasperated Moominmamma retires to the relative calm of their trusty old boat, to wait for her family to come to their senses. For the very first time, the unity of the Moomins is threatened. This is the first animated feature film based on Tove Jansson’s original comic strips and offers moments of sadness, excitement, and joy through beautiful imagery.
The Congress
Robin Wright, playing herself, gets an offer from MIRAMOUNT STUDIO to sell her cinematic identity: she'll be numerically scanned and sampled so that her alias can be used with no restrictions in all kinds of Hollywood films – even the ones she previously rejected. In exchange she earns money for life, and more importantly, her digitalized character will be forever young – for all eternity – in all their future films. When the contract expires 20 years later, Robin arrives at Abrahama, the animated city created by MIRAMOUNT NAGASAKI. And this time she is offered to sell her identity to become a chemical formula… Directed by Ari Folman, the director of Waltz with Bashir, this film was selected for the opening of Directors' Fortnight at Cannes.
