Dutch animator Nina Gantz started her career at AKV|St. Joost in Breda. Het BAFTA award winning film EDMOND is a black comedy and touching animation about a man with cannibalistic tendencies. She teams up with Simon Cartwright whose film MANOMAN is a short film made using a mixture of rod marionette puppets and computer animation. We can add it also has a very unsettling character.
