Ink Meets Blank

Tymon Albrzykowski | Poland | 2016 | 6 min

A typical representative of the trend of a nostalgic return to film stock and absolute film. The movie is a black and white, rhythmic metamorphosis of abstract geometric forms. Its dramaturgy is built by pure form and evocative music. It has been fully implemented cameraless, directly on a 35mm film tape.

Any Road

Boris Labbé | France | 2016 | 11 min

The French director’s captivating audio-visual trip begins with an innocent game of Pong. To the beats of Daniel Ghisi’s soundtrack, we set out on an ever-changing and unpredictable ride. The authors usher this fall through one’s subconscious with a quote from Carroll’s Alice: “– so long as I get somewhere,  Alice added as an explanation.

Life in Patterns

Vojtěch Domlátil | Czech Republic | 2017 | 2 min

In his storyless film, Vojtěch Domlátil focuses on various patterns that surround us and that we repeatedly encounter but we do not pay any attention to them. A real physical feeling from the used materials is supplemented by corresponding sounds and, as the author says, “is built upon perfect patterns.” Tenderness, weakness and kitsch. Life in twelve frames per second.

AM/FM

Thomas Hicks | United Kingdom | 2016 | 6 min

Two characters’ stories are presented across a radio timeline on the AM and FM frequencies. Their lives are depicted from birth to death, together and apart. As time passes the dial moves freely from left to right and right to left across the timeline to different moments. Stories correspond to objects from an old suitcase that feature within the film.

Persistence of Vision III

Ismael Sanz-Pena | Norway, United States | 2016 | 2 min

Accompanied by African music – singing and drums – we can admire the film and dancing potential of seemingly immovable gothic architecture. For their humorous contribution to the series of urban symphonies, the authors have chosen the cold North. Their star is the façade of the Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway.

Dota

Petra Zlonoga | Croatia | 2016 | 5 min

An audiovisual weave in which an animated line represents the warp, while the female voice poses for the filling. She who weaves and that which is woven intertwine through time. This non-traditional composition toying with multiscreen is presented in a very unusual square format.

Tutti

Marek Jasaň | Slovakia | 2016 | 1 min

In his work on the topic of hands, Marek Jasaň from the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava, uses catchy and rhythmical music which allows the hands to do a little bit of dancing. They appear and disappear, make familiar gestures and attract interest within the film’s limited running time.

Serpentine

Bronwyn Maloney | United States | 2016 | 3 min

In the midst of reflective fantasy, a young woman’s inner thoughts arouse a surreal exploration of sensuality, self-esteem, and deeply rooted fears. Her arrival is one of strength, beauty, and greater character. Distinct elements in the film include fragmentarily portrayed hands, white rabbits and a characteristic soundtrack.

Urban Speech

Šárka Zahálková | Czech Republic | 2016 | 5 min

Three chapters of urban acoustics. A record of time, travel and space. A series of short animated films that is based on binaural field recordings of the urban soundscape. Its aim is to mediate an experience of conscious listening to a city. An audiovisual piece designed for two ears and a clear mind that fosters the spectator’s imagination.

Miller Fisher

Faiyaz Jafri | Hong Kong SAR China | 2016 | 10 min

Miller Fisher amalgamates the distorted visual, physical and existential experience of an autoimmune disorder by the same name, with the aesthetics and vernacular of the animated GIF. We find ourselves in an artistically specific 3D world known from the author’s previous works as “hyper-unrealism.”
