From the Judges, on Hell (2026)

From the Judges, on Hell

Dust, silence and decay give this short a barren world rendered with real confidence, and the panel found the cinematography and visual design powerful throughout. Animation craft and puppetry carry a dark story in an inventive register, with sound design and soundtrack building an ominous atmosphere and the voice performances grounding the surreal in something human. Bold, deliberate direction lets the world-building unfold on its own terms, leaving them engaged and wanting more.

Curated, anonymised highlights drawn from the judges' notes.
