We're proud to present the short film "Birds Connect Our World", written, directed and animated by Escapee Wing Lan Lilian Fu. Lilian took our evening class in animation in ToonBoom Harmony, taught by Plamen Ananiev, and she applied her new skills to make this short film, commissioned by the East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership (EAAFP). The film, which was made entirely under the Corona Lockdown, tackles the challenges faced by migratory birds in Asia, and what can be done to protect them and their natural habitats.

Every year millions of migratory birds are killed traveling to and from their mating and feeding grounds.
We need to act now in order to save this precious natural resource before it vanishes for good.
The film was created to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day, which takes place twice a year on 9 May and also on 10 October.
Visual Effects were provided by our very own Head of Compositing, Allar Kaasik.
The film is currently being entered into festivals, and we wish Lilian and her team every success. You can find "Birds Connect Our World" here at the IMDB.
