From bacon to sausage, the pig is one of the most widely eaten animals in the Netherlands. This block of shorts is dedicated to the amiable porker with a curly tail and explores our relationship to it.

All the shorts in the Pigs block are listed below. The FFF shorts blocks are powered by WeTransfer.

	Jamón Jamón is an animated short about the life of José, a teenage pig growing up in a human family. With his somewhat peculiar habits and vegetarian lifestyle, he seems to be the family misfit. When a new neighbour moves in next door, José begins to realise who he is.
	Wild Boar Wild Boar highlights the peculiar relationship between wild boars and people. In this Dutch short, we see how the boars impinge on our territory and our sometimes surprising response to the invasion.
	Pig Who is the pig? How does it live? What happens to it? From sty to sausage, the Dutch short Pig silently follows one of the most widely eaten animals.
	Sausage Sausage is an animated film that critically examines the value consumers attach to food. The film is set in a village with two artisan stallholders, whose livelihoods are threatened by the arrival of a devious fast-food vendor.
	Little Miss Piggy Eleven-year-old Brechtje Jans lives on a pig farm. There’s plenty of space to play, but Brechtje is unhappy. She thinks pigs are disgusting and meat even more so. She dreams of living in Amsterdam, where she can shop all day.

Note: Only after the screening on Sunday there wil be a Q&A session with some of the directors of the short films.
