Symbionts by Quirijn Dees Selected for Annecy

Symbionts still 03

We are thrilled to announce that Symbionts, directed by Quirijn Dees and produced by Lucerne School of Design, Film and Art, Switzerland, has been selected for the Off-Limits short film program at Annecy International Animation Film Festival 2026 (June 21–27)!

This short experimental animation traces an organic cycle of interaction within an unfamiliar ecosystem: one shape liquefies, another multiplies in vibrant entanglement, while a third convulses under parasitic attack, revealing both radiant beauty and relentless violence.

The Off-Limits program highlights daring filmmakers pushing the boundaries of animation through hybrid techniques, graphic exploration, and experimental forms where animation, live action, and special effects converge in unexpected ways.

We very much look forward to showing the film to the Annecy festival audience!
