11 Portuguese Animation Talents to Track
Annecy is spotlighting Portuguese animation this year, so we're taking a look at 10-or-so talents from the region who are worth keeping an eye on.
With the sea and urban Algarve as the backdrop, the film follows a complete life cycle of a special shellfish called percebes, commonly referred to as the goose neck barnacle, a delicacy in Portugal and Galicia. Lima teamed with Serbia-born but Porto-based artist Dimitri Mihajlovic on the haunting 2023 short “Almost Forgotten,” about a woman who explores the impermanence of childhood memories as she imagines herself wandering through her grandfather’s derelict house. For most of the past year, he teamed again with that show’s producer, Green Street Pictures, on Joe Bennet and Steve Hely’s new series “Common Side Effects,” which will be spotlighted by Adult Swim during an Annecy panel on Wednesday.
