ANOL1: The First Encounter is the first 3D animation of the ANOL1 series that explores the rich tapestry of female mythical creatures from Central Asia, shedding light on their untold stories in a decolonial context. Drawing upon the concept of female monstrosity, the animation aims to underline the intergenerational connections and empower future generations with forgotten narratives.

ANOL1: The First Encounter emphasizes the importance of intergenerational connections by highlighting the role of elder female figures, who pass down ancient wisdom and knowledge to younger generations. Through these connections, the animation showcases the transmission of cultural heritage, the importance of preserving oral traditions, and the significance of reclaiming female agency within a patriarchal context.
