The first Korean animated short to be selected for the Cannes competition, Persona is a bizarre trip through the toxic beauty standards of social media.

A slice of off-the-wall absurdism from South Korea, Sujin Moon’s eye-popping, ear-rattling 3D animation uses social media’s impossible beauty standards as a broader metaphor for the self, both real and represented. Apart from its historic inclusion at Cannes, Persona won the Cristal for Best Graduation Film at the prestigious Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
