French Animation 'Slice' Tenderly Explores Teen Queer Love

The French animation studio Pulp, founded by Yoann Roussin and Ylang Lebot, has created 'Slice', a short film about two teenage boys discovering mutual romantic feelings. Produced in 2021 during an artist residency at Bobbypills, a Parisian studio known for adult animation, the film follows Sasha, who wakes up after dreaming of kissing his best friend. The four-minute piece combines a rock soundtrack with a delicate visual and emotional style. The film premiered on Artribune, an Italian art publication, which also promotes its newsletters on art market trends, urban regeneration, and cultural tourism.
