Where Do Animated Shorts Belong in Denmark?
Rethinking Distribution, Context, and Audience.

This panel discussion at PLASTIC Collective brings together voices from the film and art sectors to discuss distribution, exhibition formats, and new opportunities for animation aimed at adult audiences. Grounded in a field undergoing significant change, it invites reflection, knowledge sharing, and fresh perspectives on how animated short films can find their place within the Danish cultural landscape.
