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.
This film is a black and white, slightly provocative and partially abstractly illustrated confession of a young anorectic girl. Its author convincingly explores the mind of her heroine confined in a small space. For the main protagonist, food is a choice, not a necessity. Home is a safe place for her illness and the experience of eating a boiled egg is comparable to sexual pleasure.
This lively film with a very distinct artistic style tells the story of a man who is about to die and wants to share his life story. We explore his memories and see him as a baby, back when he was confronted with the mysteries of life for the first time. He was exposed to very strange events but everything and everyone around him assured him that everything is in order. But when he left the secure territory of his childhood, he found that the ground beneath his feet was not so firm.
A visual parable about good and bad sides of the human personality based on the book by French writer and ethnologist Amadou Hampâté. Good and bad feelings are "nesting" in people similarly to black and white birds nesting in their holes in large walls. Good and Evil are completely contradictory. The author, among other things, uses colour contrast.
This associative study based on a stream of seemingly unrelated photographs was created in a semester project as a part of guerrilla mapping. The left frame depicts city scenes, the right frame forest scenes. It’s up to the viewers to detect and find similar elements and connections in two different worlds.
The range of Chintis Lundgren’s work has recently gone beyond her artistic and commissioned work, and she has begun filming a series for young audiences called Manivald and the Absinthe Rabbits. But Lundgren hasn’t forgotten her sense of humour or the expressiveness of silent animal faces. This short music video, which for some may be reminiscent of Alexey Alexeev’s Log Jam, is one of the first teasers of the series.
Happy End is a dark comedy about death but, as the title suggests, with a happy end. The story revolves around a series of strange accidents connected with the recurring discovery of the same corpse. The individual situations are so specific though, that several suspects come to mind. The filmmaker’s original style permeates both the visual aspect and the story of the film.
Rex and Benny take out their instruments and fill their living room with a catchy tune. Will their music give the interior a desired shape? The Belgian director based in England started his career doing commissioned work and now specializes in true stop-motion animation.
A disturbing story set in the near future. People are holed up in their small dwellings and live in a virtual world. Everyone films and streams various videos. They don’t have a clue that they’re not free until one of them goes outside. But the discovery of the outer reality is something their virtual masters aren’t happy to see.
