Boris Šíma (VŠMU Bratislava/Protos Productions) Slovaška/Slovakia, 2008, Beta SP, 18’10”
Kaj vse se lahko pripeti med običajnim šolskim izletom v muzej. Naš junak, poredni deček, se zaplete v neverjetne dogodivščine, ki pa ga ne bodo spremenile.
What all can happen during an ordinary school visit to a museum. The hero, a small boy, experiences big adventures due to his mischief, but these will not make him change.
AZURNA DUŠA / L’ANIMA MAVI / THE AZURE SOUL
Julia Gromskaya Italija/Italy, 2009, Beta SP, 4′
Kraj, kjer se križajo azurne sanje in srečujejo čiste, brezmadežne duše.
The crossroads of azure dreams, the meeting place of the pure and limpid souls.
KRIŠTOF / CHRIGI / CHRIS
Anja Kofmel (HSLU Luzern) Švica/Switzerland, 2008, 35mm, 7’12”
Dekle se spominja svojega otroštva in skrivnostnega bratranca. Skozi pogled nedolžnega otroka vstopimo v mračen in zamotan svet pustolovščin, plačancev in bitk.
A young woman recalls her childhood and her mysterious cousin. Through the innocent eyes of a child we are led into a dark and complex world of adventure, mercenaries and warfare.
PTIČJA PESEM / BIRD’S SONG
Paweł Prewencki (ASP Poznań) Poljska/Poland, 2008, Beta SP, 2′
Junakinja filma je mala deklica, ki pita ptičke. Vsi priletijo k njej, da bi zobali njene drobtinice, in ves svet se spreminja v ptice. Vidite prhutanje krilc? Ptički jo dvignejo s tal, in medtem ko jadra po nebu, se spremeni v ptico. Risbo sta navdihnila japonska kaligrafija in informel slikarstvo.
The heroine is a little girl who feeds birds. Every bird flies to her to eat her breadcrumbs and the whole world is changing into birds. Can we see the flapping wings? The birds pick her up from the ground. She soars through the air, changing into a bird. The drawing was inspired by Japanese calligraphy and informel painting.
PRIROJENE DOLŽNOSTI / KAASASÜNDINUD KOHUSTUSED / INHERENT OBLIGATIONS
Rao Heidmets (OÜ Nukufilm) Estonija/Estonia, 2008, 35mm, 10′
Priča smo procesu, v katerem igrajo mediji vse večjo vlogo v oblikovanju družbenega življenja. Kako bi dosegli še točnejše rezultate naših anket in raziskav? Kako se lahko velika in še večja podjetja spremenijo, da bi zadostila zahtevam mase potrošnikov? Rezultat vsega tega je surov in vulgaren »sodobni« svet.
We can see the media playing a continuously greater role in the arrangement of social life. How can we get more precise results from our surveys? How can the big and biggest companies change to meet the requirements of vast consumers? The result of all this is a vulgar and rude “modern” world.
ZID VZDIHLJAJEV / THE WALL OF SIGHS
Dušan Kastelic (Bugbrain Inštitut) Slovenija/Slovenia, 2009, Beta SP, 4′
Tudi psi ljubijo. Globoko, iskreno, strastno … Zid vzdihljajev je presunljiva, od strasti in globokih čustev prekipevajoča in srce parajoča melodrama o neuslišani ljubezni s tragičnim koncem. Ni za rahločutne duše.
Dogs, too, can love. Deeply, sincerely, passionately… The Wall of Sighs is a soul-stirring and heartbreaking melodrama – overflowing with passion and deep emotion – about unrequited love with a tragic ending. Sensitive souls should refrain from watching.
J
Virgilio Villoresi (Studio Beatrice) Italija/Italy, 2009, DVD, 4’10”
J-jeva idila se konča nenadno in na najbolj ponižujoč način: predmet njegovega poželenja se preseli v drug svet, katerega del ne bo mogel J nikoli resnično postati.
J’s idyl ends unexpectedly and in the most humiliating way: His pleasure-giving object moves to a different world, which J can never hope to be fully a part of.
FIN
Katalin Glaser (MOME Budapest) Madžarska/Hungary, 2008, Beta SP, 9’20”
Namesto stvarne zgodbe se v filmu drug za drugim odvijejo drobni prizori. Vsak vzbudi drugačno čustvo, a vsi predstavljajo subjektiven pogled na odnos med fantazijo in resničnostjo.
There is no particular story, just a bunch of small scenes following one another. These provoke different feelings, but all in all from a subjective view of fantasy and the real world.
MEJA / GRANICA/ BORDER
Eni Brandner Avstrija/Austria, 2009, digiBeta, 5’10”
Meja, ločnica med verami, kulturami in področji s srbsko oziroma hrvaško večino, je bila posneta na hrvaških lokacijah ob začasnih mejah Republike Srbske Krajine, enem glavnih žarišč Jugoslovanske vojne na Hrvaškem. Sledi nasilja so vidne še danes. Porušene stavbe kot nenamerni spomeniki branijo pred pozabo.
Border – a dividing line between religions, cultures, between areas with Serbian respectively Croatian majority – was filmed in Croatia, on locations around the temporary border of the Republic of Serbian Krajina, one of the focal points in the Yugoslavian/Croatian war. The traces of altercation are still present. Dilapidated houses act as unintentional memorials, warding off oblivion.
STRIC / WUJEK / UNCLE
Maciej Sznabel (Serafinski Studio) Poljska/Poland, 2008, Beta SP, 8′
Stric Adam prispe v vaško domačijo družine, ki tam živi s svojim psom Rexom. Idilična pokrajina se nepričakovano prelevi v grozo, zaradi katere vam v žilah zaledeni kri. Animirani prvenec, ki je nastal pod mentorstvom Piotra Dumałe, črpa iz najboljše tradicije poljske šole animacije, kot jo utelešata Aleksander Sroczynski in Julian Jozef Antonisz.
Uncle Adam arrives at a village house of a family who lives there with a dog Rex. The idyllic scenery unexpectedly turns into a horror which makes blood run cold. This animated debut made under the supervision of Piotr Dumała draws on the best tradition of the Polish School of Animation represented by Aleksander Sroczynski and Julian Jozef Antonisz.
KOVČEK / VALISE / MIXED BAG
Isabelle Favez (Swiss Effects Film) Švica/Switzerland, 2009, 35mm, 7’9”
Lahko kovček, poln denarja, reši vse težave nesrečnega para? Ali imajo šušmarski roparji, ki so ga izgubili, drugačne načrte? Zgodba o pohlepu, izdaji in cenenih kovčkih.
Can a bag full of money be a solution to an unhappy couple’s problems? Or will the bungling bank robbers who lost it have other ideas? A tale of greed, betrayal and cheap suitcases.
KRILA IN VESLA / SPARNI UN AIRI / WINGS AND OARS
Vladimir Leschiov (LUNOHOD Animation Studio) Latvija/Latvia, 2009, 35mm, 5’38”
