Big Bang Big Boom

Blu | Italy | 2010 | 10 min

A non-scientific look on evolution and its unpleasant results. The film presents a beautiful cycle where one cannot tell the beginning from the end. It is the last and arguably the best film by the street artist who conceals his name under the nickname Blu. His paintings can be found on walls all around the world.

Wrapped

Falko Paeper, Florian Wittmann, Roman Kaelin | Germany | 2014 | 5 min

Remo Rauscher | Austria | 2011 | 10 min

Pixels

Patrick Jean | France | 2010 | 3 min

You would not believe the mayhem a single old discarded TV can cause. The broken screen suddenly floods all of New York with monsters that everyone is familiar with! Or rather, everyone in their thirties who spent their childhood playing eight-bit games. After five years, the legendary short was adapted into a full feature film.

Tess Martin | United States | 2012 | 4 min

A fisherman experiences a moment of connection with a female humpback whale in the waters off of San Francisco. Is this an example of inter-species communication or a mysterious fluke?

Rahova

David Možný | Czech Republic | 2008 | 6 min

The video was created from the footage taken in the Rahova neighbourhood in Bucharest, Romania. The author recycles and deconstructs known forms of large prefabricated panel buildings. The 1970's architecture fighting its own decomposition is subject to digital decomposition in the film. We cannot tell where the real world ends and where the 3D simulated reality begins.

Buenos Aires Recyclers

Nikki Schuster | Argentina, Austria, Germany | 2011 | 7 min

Hong Long Century Plaza

Bohong Deng | China | 2009 | 3 min

The street is full of bricks, furniture and glass. Suddenly everything comes to life and in a whirlwind of dance a skyscraper plan is created. A jingle for a developer project leaves the line of our showcase but it shows that street animation, when taken literally, can have many purposes also in the commercial sector.

Grey Area Variations

Jan Kolegar, Lukáš Glaser | Czech Republic | 2010 | 5 min

As opposed to the preceding commercial animation, this disturbing video is considered only as an exercise by the authors themselves. Its description mentions a black rook's head that helps the Sun and the Moon to copulate. It's an interpretation of the work by Edward Kelly that also reveals the true nature of the streets of Prague.

Linear

Amir Admoni | Brazil | 2012 | 7 min

The film elaborates the quote by Paul Klee that a line is a dot that went for a walk. The Brazilian director composed his film as an account of the gruelling work of a little man who is to draw such line on the road. The author uses a real road with all its bumpiness and everything that belongs to it.

An abandoned factory is the last place on earth where a new life can be born. However, a strange animal emerges from a dirty puddle and on its way through the gloomy factory, it turns the lights on. This music video uniquely connects light animation with space and uses other techniques as well.

Talk to him

Agata Pretka | Poland | 2010 | 8 min

This melancholic Polish film uses unobtrusive drawings in a real environment and thinks about our world. How the flood of everyday information makes us miss the important things. We need to filter everything in order to get to our thoughts and be heard.

Reulf

Quentin Carnicelli, Charles Klipfel, Jean-François Jégo | France | 2008 | 5 min

Strange little colourful creatures appear in the black and white streets of Paris. They are invisible to the rest of the world even though they try to paint the city with colours. The film uses typical street animation elements and the authors put more emphasis on connecting the reality with animation rather on the story.

This crafty jingle for the FMX conference about animation, special effects and games makes perfect use of the surprise element. The connection of the peaceful life in the streets with improbable animated aliens in the form of popping maize is very realistic and effective.

Synchronization

Rimas Sakalauskas | Lithuania | 2009 | 8 min

Lithuanian housing estates host hypnotic synchronizations. Bizarre architectonic relics of old ages leave their posts and float towards another dimension. This videoart reminds of Tarkovsky and Kubrick. But it is also so natural is if such things happened regularly.
