Boris Despodov, Andrey Paunov (Act-Pik/Nico Grein&Sebastian Leutner Filmproduktion GbR) Bolgarija, Nemčija/Bulgaria,Germany, 2008, 35mm, 14′
Leta tečejo. Tri sestre A. P. Čehova so preživele tok časa – vse režime, revolucije, sanje in iluzije. Njihova usoda pa se obrne, ko v novembrsko nebo zajadra komar. Animacija, v kateri sličico za sličico igranega filma prekrije ročna risba, je predelava ruske klasike v gibljivih slikah.
Years have passed. Chekhov’s Three Sisters have survived through time – regimes, revolutions, illusions, and dreams. Their fate is about to change when a mosquito enters the November sky. Hand drawn frame by frame over live action, this animation is a motion painting remix of a Russian classic.

Kristjan Holm (EKA Tallinn) Estonija/Estonia, 2008, Beta SP, 6’15”
Vsakič, ko leže v posteljo in ugasne luči, ga nekaj nervozno opomni: straniščno školjko si pustil dvignjeno, copati niso poravnani, iz pipe kaplja … Na žalost pa mala hišica, kjer se vse skupaj odvija, stoji na obali. Kakšna je videti s temnega morja? Vas ne spominja na … Res, spominja. In katastrofa je že za ovinkom …
Every time he goes to bed and turns off the light, something urgently reminds him: The toilet seat was left up, slippers are not exactly parallel, the tap is dripping…Unfortunately, the small house where everything happens is on the shore. What does it look like from the dark sea? Doesn’t it remind you…Yes, it does and a catastrophe is on the way…
O LJUBEZNI / ABOUT LOVE
Giacomo Agnetti (Gertie Srl/Magic Mind Corporation) Italija/Italy, 2008, digiBeta, 4’33”
Kaj je v resnici ljubezen? Neskončen nesporazum, v katerem podleže vsak. Nerešljiv problem, ki se mu na koncu koncev lahko le smejimo. S cinično naracijo in simboličnimi liki je serija filmov surrealistična in šaljiva študija dinamike človeških odnosov, ki vedno vodijo k tragičnemu koncu.
What does love really mean? A misunderstanding without limits which all people are destined to fall into. An irresolvable problem which, in the end, you can only laugh about. The use of cynical narration and symbolic characters makes the series a surreal and humorous observation of human dynamics that ultimately result in tragedy.

Kvadratasti astronavt se po stoletjih vesoljskega popotovanja vrne domov. Veliko reči se je močno spremenilo, nekatere pa se ne bodo nikoli. Recimo varljivost stvari, ki ostaja enaka, ne glede na prostor in čas.

Gábor Ulrich (Kecskemétfilm Ltd.) Madžarska/Hungary, 2009, Beta SP, 6’30”
»Od tu težko presodimo, ali smrt prej napovejo otipljivi, občutni dogodki, ali svojo žrtev zgrabi nepričakovano. Sicer pa je vseeno; pomembno je sodelovati, ne zmagati.« Szilárd Podmaniczky
“It is very hard to decide from here whether death has very tangible and palpable antecedents, or it suddenly snaps at its victim. Although it makes no difference; it is not winning that is important, but participation.” Szilárd Podmaniczky
