✨So excited to share that #Hometopia# will have its next screening at the Tirana International Film Festival — an Oscar-qualifying festival, marking its first international premiere outside the UK and Japan!
Huge congratulations to the amazing director and team!
🎬 Hometopia is a short animation inspired by a true story of a mentally ill man in rural China, who spent three years building a seven-story “mansion” from mud and branches to honour his late brother.
Told through stop-motion and 2D collage, the film reflects on love, grief, and social neglect, touching on themes like rural isolation, mental health, and inequality.
Its raw visuals and layered storytelling aim to bring attention to overlooked lives and the quiet resilience within them.
