Agathe Must Go / Agathe doit partir / Agathe mora oditi

Dylan Hall, Maya Matar (prod. Atelier de Sèvres)
2025, France, 8’52’’

Agathe, aged 90, lives as a recluse in a snow-covered cabin. Frede, her daughter, visits her with the intention of bringing her closer to her in a nursing home in town. But between the disembowelled fox on the doorstep and her mother's disturbing behaviour, the visit takes a different turn.

90-letna Agathe živi kot samotarka v zasneženi koči. Njena hči Frede jo obišče z namenom, da bi jo preselila bližje k sebi, v mestni dom za starejše. Toda po srečanju z razparano lisico na pragu hiše in ob materinem srhljivem vedenju se obisk odvije povsem drugače.

Dylan Hall

"Hi ! My name is Dylan Hall and I’m a 25 year old stop Motion director and animator from France. After trying (and failing) to become an engineer, I decided to learn 2D animation but ended up falling in love with stop Motion ! “Agathe doit partir” was our graduation film from Atelier de Sevres in Paris and we are very proud to present it !"
