A dazzling animated tale set on the romantic island of Sicily. From the director shortlisted for the 2023 Film London Jarman Award.

Alongside Hotel Kalura, experience 12 short films from across the globe — from monster comedies and DIY horror to poetic hauntings and experimental absurdities. Expect work from the UK, US, Iran, Spain, France, Sweden, Estonia, and Ireland.
