Komaneko: The Curious Cat

The imagination of a lonely cat can be a wonderful place. Komaneko is a promising young filmmaker who creates her own puppets and shoots stop-motion animation films. One day, while having a picnic with her cast and crew – her two handmade puppets – she encounters a Bigfoot and sets forth on a curious adventure towards unexpected friendship.

Showcasing a range of animation styles including hand-drawn animation and stop-animation, joy, wonder, fear and sadness are evoked with subtle visual and aural cues that are revealed throughout Komaneko’s journey of surprising and disarming emotional depth.
