Film lineup previews : Must-watch highlights from the 7th ANIMAFILM festival 2024
"Red Iron Road" – A spooky trip down love lane
If your idea of romance involves more than a box of chocolates and way more creepiness than a ghosting on WhatsApp, "Red Iron road" is your jam. This horror anthology, based on European literary works, is a collection of six eerie, spine-chilling episodes. Each story comes with a unique visual style, from creepy hand-drawn horrors to CGI nightmares that will haunt your dreams… and maybe your next date night.
Why You’ll Love It: It’s like if The Twilight Zone had a Tinder profile and went on a date with Tim Burton’s animation style. Imagine the vibes of Coraline mixed with the jump scares of The Babadook, but with some European sophistication thrown in. And don’t worry, you’ll survive—probably. Perfect for a date night, because nothing says romance like clutching each other out of fear.

"No Dogs or Italians Allowed" – A forbidden love tale with bite
Yes, that title is real, and no, this isn’t about some weird law against dogs and Italians. "No Dogs or Italians Allowed" is a historical love story set in early 20th-century Italy, and it’s all about overcoming societal barriers to love. It’s an emotional rollercoaster with heart, history, and a pinch of bite—you know, the kind of love that gets you banned from places.
Why You’ll Love It: Think of it as Romeo and Juliet if the Capulets were dogs and the Montagues were Italian. The star-crossed romance vibes of Call Me By Your Name but with a “No Pets Allowed” sign thrown in for dramatic effect. Trust me, this film will have you rooting for a happy ending more than you did for Titanic—except this ship might actually make it.
And guess what? The only thing standing between you and this masterpiece is a ticket from tripsome.az. Just make sure you leave your dog at home… and maybe your Italian friend too.

"High Diver" – The GRAND PRIX contender we’re all rooting for
Here’s one to keep an eye on: "High Diver," a stunning short film from Germany that’s making waves in the competition for Best Short Film at ANIMAFILM 2024. Directed by Oscar Bittner, this film is set in a post-apocalyptic world where water is as rare as a clean public restroom. In the midst of this scarcity, a love story blooms—a beautiful reminder that even in the worst situations, love finds a way (insert dramatic Jurassic Park voice here).
Why You’ll Love It: If Mad Max: Fury Road went on a double date with WALL-E and The Shape of Water, you’d get something close to this. It’s got the heart of WALL-E, the post-apocalyptic grit of Mad Max, and the watery, emotional depth of The Shape of Water. Bring tissues—and maybe a bottle of water.
And no need to fight over the last bottle of Evian—tickets are just a click away at tripsome.az. Hydration and cinematic glory? What a combo!

"İnanna" – A magical trip through Azerbaijani mythology
A homegrown gem, "İnanna" is a visual love letter to Azerbaijani mythology, directed by Rüstəm Bəşirov. The film weaves together mythological tales and modern love, bringing a timeless story to life with stunning visuals. Expect a journey filled with mystical creatures, ancient magic, and heartfelt romance that spans centuries.
Why You’ll Love It: Think Coco meets The Legend of Zelda—it’s that beautifully crafted, rich-in-culture story you didn’t know you needed. It’s got the heart of Moana but with more mythology than you can shake a sword at. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like you’re watching Spirited Away but in the Caucasus, here’s your ticket.
Speaking of tickets, tripsome.az has them, waiting for you like a love letter from your favorite mythological hero. Grab ‘em before they disappear into folklore.

"Here is My University" – Reliving the awkwardness of first love
Oh, the glory days of university—staying up too late, drinking way too much coffee, and falling in love while pretending you’re studying. " Here is My University" by Şahid İsmayılov is a delightful short film that captures the clumsy, hilarious, and sometimes painful first steps into love while navigating college life.
Why You’ll Love It: This is Lady Bird meets Monsters University but with a heavy dose of Azerbaijani charm. It’s nostalgic, relatable, and filled with those awkward yet endearing moments that’ll make you remember your own first crush—or maybe just how awkward it was. It’s as sweet as The Fault in Our Stars but with way less crying. Okay, maybe just a little crying.
And like your university days, tickets don’t last forever—get them on tripsome.az before you miss the chance to feel nostalgic (and awkward) all over again.
