Special Guest(S)
We’re excited to welcome the Oscar-nominated animation trio Job, Joris & Marieke!
We’ll screen their latest short film, Quota, a sharp, darkly comic take on climate change and human behaviour. The film premiered at TIFF 2024 and earned an Honourable Mention for Best International Short Film.
In Quota, every citizen is assigned a CO₂ quota tracked by an app. Ignoring the limits leads to explosive consequences—literally. The film features Carice van Houten's voice as the app, adding a compelling layer to this timely satire.
Join us to explore their creative process, discuss their career journey, and hear what’s next from this inventive Dutch studio.
