Bestia

I saw Bestia as part of a block of animated films at the Satisfied Eye International Film Festival and it deservedly walked away with the award for Best Animated Film.

From the unique animation style to the cerebral script and challenging imagery, it's a film that almost defies description - just like the very best works of art.

A sense of unease bubbles constantly beneath the surface. Bestia manages to reveal enough of the story behind Pinochet's dictatorship in Chile - and the life of one of his agents - that you come away wanting to learn more, but leaves enough to the imagination that the viewer is able to gather their own meaning from this brilliant piece of animation.
