Shown with Animation Shorts Letter to Colleen, Papiroflexia and Simulacra. Letter to Colleen: this raunchy animated short film gives a glimpse into the day Andy London turned 18--a day that will not stop tormenting him. In order to come to peace with himself, he writes a letter to a girl named Colleen about the moment his virginity was lost (and his performance was rated by on-lookers.) A time that was supposed to be a turning point in his personal growth ends up scarring him for life (9 min. Directed by Carolyn London and Andy London.) . Papiroflexia, the Spanish word for Origami, is the animated tale of Fred, a skillful paper folder who could shape and reshape the world with his hands (2 min. 30 sec. Directed by Joaquin Baldwin.). Simulacra: imagine living in a world where there is no such thing as natural life. Everything is a machine lacking humanity. Now imagine discovering the last piece of organic life left and the adventure one robot would embark upon in retrieving it. Simulacra is a delightful animated film that gives hope to all. Or does it? (4 min. Directed by Tatchapon Lertwirojkul.)
