Latvia | DCP, Color, 84’ | No Dialogue
Director: Gints Zilbalodis
The Oscar nominee from Latvia is an animation set in a world ruled by water. Led by a cat as the protagonist, the team includes a dog, a lemur, a secretary bird, and a capybara. The journey of these animals as they try to survive in a flooded and abandoned world is characterized by the natural behavior and communication of the animals rather than the witty dialogues and zany actions of typical animated family films. This naturalistic approach deepens its adventurous story as an ecological fable. Flow is a film that will captivate audiences regardless of age or love of animals.
