At this year's 18th Animasyros International Animation Festival, which will take place from September 22nd to 28th on the island of Syros, we will have the opportunity to watch three short Polish animated films competing in the festival's competition categories.
At the International Student Film Competition will feature the film "Four Walls of Memory," directed by Joanna Płatek. It's the story of a girl who, wanting to escape her fear, accidentally locks herself in a small hut in the forest. Trapped within these four walls, with no way out, she must cope with hunger, cold, and the fear of something that once wanted to harm her... and now lies dead beside her.

Section IV of the International Competition will feature a screening of the Polish-Portuguese production "Sequential," directed by Bruno Caetano. In a sequence of fantastic events, a young man faces not only his personal fears but also the adversities of life. A story of learning and finding the path to inspiration.
