Forest

Anna Smékalová | Czech Republic | 2021 | 5 min

Vision Fugitive

Lou Sanitráková | Czech Republic | 2021 | 2 min

Sergei Prokofiev composed Vision Fugitives for his friends. In her abstract film matching the intoxicating rhythm of composition No. 14, the author captured the fleeting sensation of something pulsating and unrestrained. It is as if the cycle of metamorphoses performed by young pianist Matyáš Papp was trying to break out of its predetermined format.

Where My Home Is?

Pavel Koutský | Czech Republic | 2021 | 6 min

An edited version of the new, ruthlessly satirical series by prominent Czech animator Pavel Koutský. He perceives Czech history as a grotesque confrontation of important historic moments, rulers and presidents which he embellishes with all manners of possible – and impossible – animation gags.

Scales Do Not Fit

Eliška Plechatová | Czech Republic | 2022 | 2 min

The film reflects the structure of the days and moments around the winter holidays. In this embroidered animation, patterns and shapes are organically intertwined with emotions and feelings. The spoken word points to the elusiveness of inner experiences and thus contrasts with the clear rules and hidden key of the image.

Patrik Bałon | Czech Republic | 2021 | 19 min

What would we see if we could take a glance at the soul of the universe? Is fleeting life something special for empty eternity, or is it just a spark in the never-ending darkness? A story of everything that ever was and ever will be, told in a slow-paced, meditative way.
