Shorts Attack in June 2023
8 films in 85 minutes
Trends on a heated planet: Pigs are discovered for power generation, bipedal forest dwellers treat themselves to a feast, camels get into a thriller in Australia, while the Monobloc chair is still a hit. Treasures are found in the ground in the Congo, there is an annual walrus spectacle in Alaska, harvested coconuts end up back on the palms in Indonesia, and France enforces a general ban on meat.
