Kaboom Animation Shorts - Keti Koti Curates

• Date: 01 July
• Time: 17:00
• Location: Filmhuis Den Haag

Seven animated films that bring to life the themes of Keti Koti in poignant and imaginative ways.

For the Keti Koti Curates program, Kaboom Animation Festival curated a powerful and diverse selection of short animated films, each offering a unique perspective on the themes of Keti Koti.

The seven films vary in style, tone, and viewpoint — from poetic memories to raw confrontations, from intimate personal narratives to symbolic and political reflections. Together, they form a kaleidoscopic portrait of identity, colonial legacy, beauty, resistance, and liberation.

Animation here proves to be an expressive and boundary-pushing medium to explore the legacy of slavery, its ongoing impact, and the future of freedom in both visual and emotional ways.
