A selection of animations and shorts for kids, specially prepared in cooperation with the Athens Digital Art Festival in Greece, available at any time on the web, throughout the duration of the Patchlab festival.

The compilation “We’re Together” consists of shorts that represent the love, affection and joyous moments we experience with our loved ones – members of our family or friends or even non-human beings – and how we can still come together despite the circumstances. During this global health crisis it is important to remember that we might keep a physical distance from one another, but we don’t have to be socially isolated.

We hope our little friends will like the program of short films specially prepared for them
Let’s stay safe and Connected.
