Morning

Vojtěch Domlátil | Czech Republic | 2019 | 4 min

Tireless Czech experimenter Vojtěch Domlátil, who focuses on nature and movement through the landscape, presents this black and white (or rather white and black) morning impression that he likes to call “a breathing meditation in the form of a fully linear animation”. We watch undefined and minimalist and yet familiar spectacles accompanied by everyday morning sounds.

Washing Machine

Alexandra Májová | Czech Republic | 2020 | 6 min

Alexandra Májová’s humorous and playful film is a remarkable parable of human relationships. But in her film, a man isn’t trying to solve problems with a woman, but with a troublesome home appliance. Eventually, emotions and hormones steer this minimalist and artistically inventive home drama in an unexpected direction leading towards a surprising end.

Vojtěch Domlátil | Czech Republic | 2020 | 3 min

A secluded house in the countryside. And in it? A family cocktail of love, care, shared history and all kinds of gadgets and unfinished things. Or a space for living out the rest of one’s life peacefully. This simple documentary stop-motion animation pays tribute to the author’s parents and the things they left here. The director finds life and a special kind of beauty in them.

All Her Dying Lovers

Anna Benner, Eluned Zoe Aiano | Germany, Czech Republic | 2020 | 6 min

This anidoc based on a legend from the Second World War tells the tragic story of a young woman who chose a very unusual method of resistance – perhaps because she had nothing to lose. The authors explore not only revenge, but also heroism and martyrdom without condemning the heroine from Třeboň or interpreting her story in any way.

The Other Side

Pavel Koutský | Czech Republic | 2019 | 8 min

Much like in the real world, everything in the latest film by the classic of Czech hand-drawn animation has its dark side. The author elaborates on that quite literally as his film has two parts: an optimistic part taking place on one side of the paper and a pessimistic part taking place on the other.

Where The Sun Never Lights

Terezie Unzeitigová | Czech Republic | 2019 | 10 min

Emptiness, vastness, frost. Light slowly finds its way through columns, windows and silent sculptures and shapes clear up until they dissolve. A video including elements of projection. A music video for an unknown musician made by an unknown animator. All in the latest experiment by a young Czech graduate of the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague.

DUO

Tania Sharavarava | Czech Republic, Belarus | 2019 | 6 min

A fantasy film bordering on abstraction. Two beautiful spirits whose interaction originates an infinite variety of life manifestations, an endless dance between music and silence, flame and quietness, suffering and joy, love and indifference, life and... life.
