Four

Ivana Šebestová | Slovakia | 2007 | 16 min

This ambitious and artistically mesmerising film is set in the spring of 1937 in the nostalgic atmosphere of a seaside town. The director depicts a single tragic event from the perspective of four different women. In this unusual concept, their stories intertwine and all four of them – a pilot, a postwoman, a shop assistant and a singer – are involved in the tragedy.

The Last Bus

Ivana Laučíková, Martin Snopek | Slovakia | 2011 | 15 min

At the start of hunting season, the forest animals try to get to safety. They board a bus and try to get away. Their fear turns into panic when the bus is stopped by hunters in the middle of the night who are searching for the animals whose fur is the most valuable. This metaphorical story about totality and refugeeism builds on the cold atmosphere of an autumn forest.

Snow

Ivana Šebestová | Slovakia, France | 2013 | 18 min

A woman is waiting for her loved one who is climbing distant mountains looking for the perfect, intact snowflake. On his journey the man battles with the elements. But do the perfect snowflake and the man looking for it really exist? The author deploys the unmistakable, stylised art of cut-out animation known from her earlier successful film, Four.

Fongopolis

Joanna Kozuch | Slovakia | 2014 | 13 min

A young violinist is on his way to play the solo of his life with the philharmonic of an imaginary city named Fongopolis. But first, he has to find his bearings in the city’s intricately designed train station and catch his train. The overcrowded station turns into a dark labyrinth before his eyes. This collage film boasts a Kafkaesque oppressive atmosphere.

Yellow

Ivana Šebestová | Slovakia | 2017 | 7 min

This metaphorical and artistically refined film follows an opera singer named Viola who is suffering from a strange phobia – she can’t stand anything yellow, bright or cheerful and finds peace only in darkness. But a hot summer presents a number of obstacles for her. The film is characterised by the author’s unique artistic style.
