“Fairground Fever”
This hand-drawn animated short follows three teenagers as they visit the Links Market, the annual fair that arrives in Kirkcaldy each April. What begins as a familiar night of rides, noise, and youthful excitement soon shifts into something stranger, as one of them is pulled into a surreal and visually exhilarating journey.
Blending coming-of-age energy with vivid animation and dreamlike imagery, the film captures the atmosphere of the fairground while exploring perception, adolescence, and the pull between fantasy and reality. It is a distinctive Scottish animated film about teenage experience, escape, and returning changed from a moment of wonder.
