Dávid Štumpf

This film bordering on an experimental music video was made in the animation studio of the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague during a workshop led by the authors of this year’s festival jingle Dávid Štumpf and Michaela Mihályiová. The film is characterised by a colour palette that the authorial team limited almost exclusively to red, blue and white.

Despite its title, this pixilated film portrays unsuccessful dating. The film’s main protagonist with a horse’s head uses an unconventional dating app reminiscent of old 8-bit games to help him find a soul mate. But even the best dating app cannot anticipate the reactions of the unicorns that we sometimes think we are.
