The 2023 Taichung International Animation Festival (TIAF) presented a remarkable showcase of animated splendor highlighting the best shorts of the year and several Taiwan premieres of award winning features. This month at TFAI, we've selected the animated shorts that have outstripped its competitors from the 2023 TIAF competition section, each distinctive in expression, yet coincidentally colliding in finding the truth beyond death and within individuals. Alongside, we can also observe the eccentric creativity of Japan's leading animation studio Studio4℃ with four of its cyborg shorts in which its insane content seems to be a reflection of reality. Then to top it all off, animated features Chicken for Linda! and Bill Plympton's newest production Slide will bring an unforgettable experience where we lose ourselves in its imagination and music.
