12 Films,12 Feelings



After two weeks of this Vth Edition, we released a dozen of movies that means a dozen of feelings, pluralistic and diverse, as we like to see in Animacam every year…

An Slovakian animator singing to its painted world (Divné Semena), a Peruvian-Spaniard living in Mallorca´s island, upset by the chance of the planet (Bendito machine), a Galician living in the Baleares islands, laughing herself jocular about death (Only you), a Brazilian determined to make us think, even in the sand of a beach (LittleUncomfortable), an other Galician, rocking gently with the Brazilian music between the sister waters of the Atlantic North Ocean and the Atlantic South (Depressaa vida passa), a Spanish-Moroccan insisting in telling us a funny story in barely 25 seconds (New animation), two Italians playing with the metaphor and topics about life (Dream´s of Leonardo´s Da Vinci) and (Menu Degli Incontri Senna Coperto), a British taking us to the sky with the sublime British humor -with Shakespeare included into the drama metaphors- (All Consuming love - Man in a cat), a Russian woman that draws a personal searching through the lights of a city (Night Lights), a North American that regale us with an animated delicatessen to children from 0 to 100 years old (The Fox made of Socks); and finally, an Argentinian poet that shots the circle of live, as it opens: when giving birth (Ella).

All this it is the most wonderful thing that may happens to animate the world: receive your stories and promote them to tell to the rest of the worlds, about this pluralistic world.

Dear followers, please enjoy this we have,
 and stand by, for what is coming next…

Animacam presents:"Bendito Machine IV- Fuel The Machines"

The short film animation show Bendito Machine reflects on the innocence of a small, naive and clumsy species that believes to know everything but really doesn’t understand much. 

Obsessed by their machines, they trie to simplify and improve their living, but actually aren’t able to question anything beyond their noses, thanks to the blessed shelter of some enlightened greedy scoundrels. The show covers many topics and contains situations recognizable in every corner of the world, displayed in a primitive way without dialogs. The ebb and flow of this clumsy species, which lives adrift in a vast and mysterious universe, might look pretty familiar to you. 

In the latest episode "Bendito Machine IV- Fuel The Machines", Jossie Malis keeps a close eye on the transport technology and its environmental consequences- an epic journey with an unexpected ending.


Many filmmakers look at short films as their teenage years—happy to get past them and on to something bigger. Jossie Malis is one of the few who understood the power he’d created with his minimalist animated short Bendito Machine and has spent the past 6 years building a franchise around it. Now he’s just released Bendito Machine 4 (Fuel the Machine) and is campaigning for his audience’s support on the future of the franchise.
