Seen It!
Kandittund
A marvelous menagerie of monsters, straight from the imagination of Mr. P. N. K. Panicker of Kerala, India, a top-notch teller of tall tales.
“In Sirens, Raoul Servais opposes two distinct worlds: one of progress and industrialization, represented by huge cranes, and a world of imagination, with a flutist and a mermaid. Adithi Krishnadas completely ignores this Platonian duality: her mockumentary Seen It! freely navigates between a universe of myths and everyday life—showing that reality is just a concept and both magical thinking and logical facts can be equally respected. Whether using port sirens or Kerala soundscapes, both animated films convincingly prove that storytelling is humankind’s most successful survival skill.” — Aneta Ozorek
