After having competed last year with Spots Spots, the Japanese animator Hu Yuanyuan returns with Sunset Flower Blooming, a 2D animation about an old woman who daydreams in a flower garden. The well known graphics French school Supinfocom participates this year with three short films (Jack and Chuck, L'ère bête and Red), and Germany, the guest country, presents six films from four different schools. One of the German productions is also nominated for Cartoon d'Or: Zing (d. Kyra Buschor & Cynthia Collins), a story in which poor death's life could not be more ordinary.
