When a girl comes home from school, her mother serves ‘Chinese’ soup. This routine and unappetising dinner turns into a thrilling story revealing the life hidden underneath the package. This fresh student miniature exploring creative childhood fantasy is superbly animated and some of its details allude to certain social issues.

A short music video for a song by the alternative band Květy from Brno, starring spring onions and various bears made using various animation techniques.

A gang of wild forest chairs take a naïve tourist (played by Pavol Seriš) by surprise. This film, made at the pixilation workshop of the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague + Janáček Academy of Music and Performing Arts in Brno, held in Poněšice masterfully animates the malicious furniture out in the open.

The kitchen of a forgetful grandma comes to life when she is not around. Saltshaker, Sugarbowl and the rest are set to fix what she's accidentally forgotten. Will their plans be foiled by the feared rapper Tartar, hiding in the fridge? The pilot for a never realised series.

A family gathers at the table to enjoy the Christmas stollen, but nothing goes according to plan. Within limited time and space, this film works excellently well with stop-motion animation as well as live actors (including a child) who are confronted with the ‘disintegration’ of their Christmas peace in quick cuts. 

In his storyless film, the director focuses on various patterns around us which we do not pay any attention to, though we encounter them repeatedly. A real physical feeling from the materials used is supplemented by corresponding sounds and, as the author says, ‘is built upon perfect patterns.’ Tenderness, weakness and kitsch. Life at twelve frames per second.   

An observer who clears his mind and restricts his resources to work only with time and motion in space can find pixilation rapture; what’s more, if he connects to the wave, his journey will consume him in his entirety. Everything plays a part – the waving of the grass, clouds, hills and valley, sunlight and ourselves. A non-narrative pixilation of the Czech landscape.

A collection of audio-visual haiku poems. Stop-motion poetry, oscillating between animation, documentary and experiment. Transforming the structure of haiku poetry based on 5-7-5 syllables into an audio-visual form using a 5-7-5 second shot structure. The author made the film during a two-month art residency in Japan and uses typical local motifs, which he often puts in unusual contexts.

Tireless 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, yet familiar spectacles accompanied by everyday morning sounds.

A secluded house in the countryside. Inside? 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.
