https:\/\/www.dramafilmfestival.gr\/online-festival\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Until now I have seen the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n I was impressed with the Happy, the story of an elephant, and its rights, The Light of Light is great, a monk at Mount Athos reveals to the filmmaker a series of photographs, and photographic plates, taken by another monk many years ago. The monk had found them in empty huts, he cleaned them and restored them. The Short Draft is funny and definitely its end is a riddle. The animations Pirouette, and Nool are touching, the Little Fan shows the value of interactivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The elephant in the courtroom<\/p>\n\n\n\n by<\/p>\n\n\n\n 21 minutes, UK, Documentary<\/p>\n\n\n\n Storyline<\/p>\n\n\n\n Happy is an elephant animal.
