Inner City (French: La Cité entre les murs) is a Canadian animated short film, directed by Alain Fournier and released in 2011.[1] Blending marionette puppetry with three-dimensional animation, the film tells the story of a young boy living in a surreal city hung between two walls; with only pigeons to keep him company, he builds strange and fantastical inventions to attract the attention of his nearest neighbour.[2]
