Thinking of animation as a children's sub-genre is over. Cartoons have grown up! Dos Rombos is a cycle in which animation becomes impertinent and borders on the illicit to show its possibilities and narrative and formal richness.

The sessions at Zumzeig will be spread over five thematic days. The majority of the titles come from the Miyu Distribution catalogue and have been programmed by Miguel Español Celiméndiz with the help of the Zumzeig team. All sessions will feature different guests according to each thematic axis.
