Cartoons Underground returns with 28 films from 17 countries across three unique programmes! Join us at Filmhouse on 14 November, 2026.

New this year, Playground is our first programme made for younger audiences. These films see the world through a child's eyes with curiosity, wonder and a sense of being different. A curious child gathers experiences, a deaf child imagines the sound of a concert, and a girl sees snow differently from everyone in her art class. Made by first-time directors and student collectives, they trust young viewers to feel and wonder at once.

Every film across our three official programmes is in competition. Vote for your favourite film to win the Audience Choice Award at the Golden Durian Awards.  

- Each programme ticket is sold individually

- If you buy a ticket for 2 or more programmes, show us your proof of purchase on November 14 at Filmhouse to claim your own one-of-a-kind CU merch
