Magdalena Kvasničková | Czech Republic | 2017 | 5 min | CS

A Table Game

Nicolás Petelski | Spain | 2017 | 4 min

“Patience is a gift,” says the director born in Buenos Aires – but studying in Europe – about his film. It is a fitting description for this absurd visual spectacle. We watch a strange and slow variant of table tennis and in parallel see how the game’s spectators are impatient. By connecting both worlds, the director comes to an excellent conclusion at the end of his film.

Wedding Day

Zuzana Čupová | Czech Republic | 2017 | 4 min | CS

This lively film revolves around a frenzied rhythm – both musical and visual. In a vortex of pulsating images, the author managed to portray a traditional Czech country wedding along with its folklore traditions. Using artistic shortcuts, allusions and successful metamorphoses, she depicts the atmosphere of absolute merriment accompanied by the tones of Dvořák’s Slavonic Dances.

Marion Ichard | France | 2017 | 5 min | FR

This grotesque and artistically distinct film is the graduate project of a young filmmaker from the French school La Poudrière. It was picked up by Television Arte.

The Polish author of this not easily comprehendible film connected childishly naïve crayon drawings with the hideous aesthetics of deformed anonymous bodies. They wander through the film, merge, bloat and vanish…Director Betina Bożek describes the portrayed reality with two words: inertia and chaos.

The Hoopoe and the Owls

Narges Haghighat | Canada | 2017 | 4 min | EN

The Iranian author, who drew inspiration from an old Iranian story, specializes in acrylic and oil painting. Using suggestive painted animation, she tells the story of a hoopoe who asks old owls how to survive. The frostiness of this fable is underpinned by a visual connection of the world of people and birds.

Enough

Anna Mantzaris | United Kingdom | 2017 | 3 min

The author, who was born in Sweden, attracted attention with her previous short film But Milk is Important, which was screened at more than 100 festivals. She used the same artistic approach using felt dolls in her latest film. It humorously depicts situations during which the film’s characters lose self-control.

The Spirit of Life

Anne Mirjam Kraav | Estonia | 2017 | 5 min

It could have been a pretty ordinary morning if someone hadn’t come knocking at the door. This unexpected disturbance triggers an escalating series of tragicomic accidents in the household of a young lady. But what if she had a chance to turn back time and try again? This slightly morbid film with naïve drawing is full of popular Estonian absurdity typical for many Estonian animated films.

This atypically stylised film, which uses unusual colour combinations and graphic novel techniques, was made by a director who originally wanted to focus on biology. Her film is set on a distant planet inhabited by various dogs. It seems, however, that their surroundings are hostile and the dogs will have to find a way to live a peaceful life.

Cops & Robbers

Florian Maubach | Germany | 2017 | 9 min | DE

This suggestive and sensitive film shows a game of cops and robbers played by a group of youths. Daniel, the main protagonist of the film, immediately realizes that it’s not just an innocent children’s game. It is affected by strong emotions, first love, jealousy and the hierarchy within the group. And, as is confirmed by the film, there is a big difference between catching someone and being caught.

Alan Jennings | United States | 2017 | 8 min

Several considerably small-minded colonists from New England get deeply agitated when an unknown man moves to their village. Their rituals and customs (or perhaps bad habits) are suddenly endangered and an unknown mystic creature infiltrates their lives… As proven by the film’s visual style, the creator of this black comedy studied experimental film.

Amanda Eliasson | United Kingdom | 2017 | 7 min | EN

This emotional anidoc with elements of a visual poem is based on a true story. Its author, who tries to cope with her younger sister’s drug addiction in the film, is full of conflicting emotions – in particular love and loss. Each phase of the film is hand coloured with acrylic paint, which increases the intensity of its message.

Wandering Bondy

Veronika Zacharová | Czech Republic | 2017 | 3 min | CS

This short, playful and pleasantly stylised “study” is an interpretation of the thoughts of Egon Bondy – famous Czech poet, writer and in particular philosopher. The author is deliberately not trying to illustrate the commentary, but rather to accompany it with a visual form humorously filled with associations, metaphors and irony.

Mika Koskinen | Finland | 2017 | 5 min

With melancholy and a dose of Northern dismalness, this graduate film of a Finnish author portrays the unstoppable flow of time. The film is set in a dreary winter and the author connects everydayness and dreams with man’s unachievable desire to pause certain moments in life and trick time, which sometimes flows too relentlessly.

This melancholic and strongly visual voyage of man in the sea of life uses only black and white. A figure is navigating through images and other images within images and the author, using only minimalist drawings, captivatingly portrays the fleeting nature of time, the boundaries of human freedom and the loneliness of a man as an individual.

Paulina Ziolkowska | Poland | 2017 | 13 min

In this artistically and narratively original film, the author remarkably portrays the dependent relationship between a mother and a son. Both protagonists of this relationship continuously interchange roles – one time, the mother is the intrepid protector, another time the son takes over responsibility and takes care of her. The author plays with her images much like her characters play with each other. But what will happen when the son decides to have an independent life?

One day, a mouse finds a beautiful flower. But when someone suddenly digs it up and takes it away, other forest animals join the mouse in searching for it and the case of the missing flower brings an unexpected turn of events. Despite the cuteness of its protagonists, the film mercilessly takes the form of a hard-boiled fable with a moral that shows where your good intentions can take you.

Exit

Jerzy Tabor | Poland | 2017 | 4 min

This artistically minimalistic film is built mainly around rhythm and repetitions. Anonymous protagonists beautifully drawn in Indian ink, along with their gestures and specific objects, evoke one of the most ordinary activities when living in the city. In Jerzy Tabor's film, a regular tram commute becomes a highly poetic experience.

Martina Holcová | Czech Republic | 2017 | 5 min | CS

The Little Red Riding Hood of old was a good-natured and defenceless girl, but the wolf will certainly not get to the Little Red Riding Hood from this film. In this artistically distinct film, the hungry beast will eventually feast on things other than what we would have expected. This humorously altered (non)fairy-tale about visiting Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother is unforgettably narrated by Czech actor Ota Jirák.

Liv

This film will captivate you with its melancholic colourfulness reflecting its theme. Liv may be old and sickly and her only companion is her loyal four-legged friend, but that makes her no less respectable. The film beautifully captures the inevitable end of life of a woman whose name is pronounced like the word "live."

But there is someone who thinks she should do one more thing. She may perhaps wake up as a new person… The visual style of the film is characterised by its intensely colourful animation.

Don't Wake

Evgeniia Golikova | Estonia | 2017 | 7 min

He managed to earn respect – behind every tattoo on his skin is a story which asserted his absolute authority in prison. But the time has come to return to normal life… Using the paint-on-glass animation technique, the author tackles the often ignored issue of reintroducing released prisoners into society.

FOOD

Michaela Mihalyiova | Czech Republic | 2017 | 2 min

Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Morning, noon, evening. Beginning, middle, end. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach and FOOD searches for parallels between eating and pairing rituals. The film uses cut-out animation and folded paper that introduces another dimension to classical cut-outs.

Love Letter to the One I Made Up

Rachel Gutgarts | Israel | 2017 | 7 min | HE

While reading a letter addressed to a "perfect" man, the author's film alter-ego submerges into a fantastic underwater world. The director portrays the established myth of a knight on a white horse. The film is made using a unique analogue technique of screen-printed animation. Every 20 frames are printed in a grid formation on A3 paper, then scanned and cut to their original form as a running, 25 fps, film.

Built around slowly and delicately escalating situations, this films draws inspiration from ordinary everyday situations at a public swimming pool. Each of the film's characters has its own storyline with humorous arcs in the form of visual puns that give this "observational" film a unique charm.

Chiara Tessera | Italy | 2017 | 7 min | IT

This film, which teeters on the border of documentary, explores the phenomenon of camgirls – girls who provide erotic services through web cameras. We see the main female protagonist from the perspective of her client – as viewers, we follow the girl and client all the way to an unpleasant confrontation. What does the client actually want from Eva?

Hanna Rybak | Poland | 2017 | 2 min | EN

Are you a good person? What do you think about your neighbours? Or your colleagues from work? What is your family like? Do you have a clear opinion on everyone? And what are they like? Nothing remarkable, you say? It's not easy to be a person that is described by a Winston Churchill quote in this film. Especially when you're only human.

Pavla Baštanová | Czech Republic | 2017 | 8 min

This Czech film full of northern melancholy depicts the flow of time somewhere on an island where a man constantly fights with nature and with himself. Jumping off a cliff, facing attacks of a predator and encountering seals are just ordinary things here. In a land where the wind blows constantly, a man cannot afford to be baffled by anything.

Everyone has to go home from the playhouse. A child waits for her mother in vain, so she starts looking for her. Over varied locations we see two fates, two lifetimes, which may never cross each other. The short film based on the novel by Erdős Virág does not make an impression, it does not take a stand, it just tells the story of two people.
