Khouloud Al Ali / Short Narrative / Qatar / 2017 / 9 min / Colour / Original Language: No Dialogue / Interests: Animation, Fantasy

Synopsis

A shy and lonely boy trudges through the snowy streets of a desolate, abandoned urban landscape, where he sees an abandoned pair of red trainers hanging from a telephone wire. He wants them dearly – but can he stamp out his fears and find a way to get them on his feet? The spectre of fear and doubt that lives inside us all, questioning our courage and making our confidence falter, gets a kick in the pants in this charming animated work.
