SHEEP OUT

Director: Zofia Klamka

Poland / 2023 / 2D Animation / 8' / No dialogue

Production Company: Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw

A meticulous animator stuck in a monotonous routine isolates herself from the outside world — until she comes across a picture of a sheep. What follows is a surreal journey sparked by this unexpected image, pulling her out of her apathy. Sheep Out is a symbolic tale of stepping beyond one’s comfort zone and confronting inner fears. Loosely inspired by Haruki Murakami’s novel A Wild Sheep Chase, the film weaves absurdity and symbolism into a story of quiet transformation.
