Preceded by the short film: INKWO - FOR WHEN THE STARVING RETURN


Told through the eyes of a cat, FLOW is an incredibly powerful, visual, survival story with no dialogue.

The world seems to be coming to an end, teeming with the vestiges of human presence. Cat is a solitary animal, but as its home is devastated by a great flood, it finds refuge on a boat populated by various species and will have to team up with them despite their differences. In the lonesome boat sailing through mystical overflowed landscapes, they navigate the challenges and dangers of adapting to this new world.

Gints Zilbalodis (AWAY ‘19) is an award-winning Latvian filmmaker and animator. FLOW is his second animated feature film, having had its World Premiere at the Un Certain Regard section in Cannes, and recently winning several awards at the Annecy International Film Festival, among others!
