The View is an award-winning animated short film by Swedish filmmaker and Annie Award–winning Pixar animator Alli Sadegiani. Inspired by his own experiences growing up in 1980s Sweden as the child of immigrant parents, the film is a deeply personal story about identity, belonging, and the search for acceptance. The View has been awarded and nominated at several prestigious festivals, including Oscar-qualifying events such as the Bengaluru International Short Film Festival and Animation Dingle, as well as the BAFTA-qualifying Aesthetica Short Film Festival. The film has also received recognition for its evocative score by Swedish artists Ayla Adams and VAU.

"What a moving story and told so well. I’m still thinking about it. That’s how you tell if something is great. Does it stick with you? Remind you and teach you what it means to be human, to be alive. Especially after the week I had?"
