VSTOP V RAJ ZA 3.20 € / EINTRITT ZUM PARADIES UM 3 € 20 / ENTER PARADISE FOR € 3.20
Edith Stauber
Avstrija/Austria, 2008, BetaSP, 12'

Skozi zgodovino umetnosti in religije mit o Raju venomer temelji na ideji ekskluzivnosti. Edith Stauber v svojem animiranem dokumentarcu temeljito demitologizira to premiso: zunanji bazen Parkbad v Linzu tu predstavlja bolj demokratičen model Rajskega vrta.

Throughout the history of art and religion the myth of Paradise is based on the notion of exclusivity. Edith Stauber thoroughly demythologizes this premise with her animated documentary: Linz's Parkbad outdoor swimming pool is portrayed as a more democratic model for a Garden of Eden.

Kaoru Ishida

DROBIJA, KOZLOVSKI DETEKTIV / DROBIJA, JARAC DETEKTIV / DROBIA, THE GOAT DETECTIVE
Mileta Poštić (hosteenmindustry)
Srbija/Serbia, 2008, DVD, 3'40''

Drobia je kozlovski detektiv. Njegove stranke so različne živali, vsaka s svojo posebno težavo. Tokrat je to gorila, jazzovski trobentač. Nekdo mu je ukradel trobento in namesto nje podtaknil banano.
Nauk zgodbe je, da resnični umetnik ne potrebuje svetlečega inštrumenta. Animacija je nastala kot preprosta, celo banalna zgodba, ki spaja komične risane like s film noir pridihom.

Drobia is a Goat detective. All of his customers are animals, every time a different one with a different problem. This time it's Gorilla, the jazz trumpet player.  His trumpet was stolen and replaced with a banana. 
The moral of the story is that a true artist does not need shiny instruments. The animation was done as a simple, even banal story combining humorous cartoon characters with a sense of film noir.

Ko končno spravi medvedka nazaj v računalnik, se ta spremeni v pošast in tako ga mora izbrisati.

A young boy has to draw a bear for his homework. He tries to do that on his computer but he is not satisfied with his drawings. He nervously moves the computer mouse back and forth.

But then he changes into a monster and the boy has to delete him.

LOL-CON
Ante Kuduz (Croatian Film Clubs' Association)
Hrvaška/Croatia, 2007, BetaSP, 5'22''

Prevod avtorjeve značilne vizualne umetnosti in pogleda v filmski jezik. Gre za hibrid med klasično, 2D ročno animacijo in digitalno postprodukcijsko obdelavo, ki odraža bistveno značilnost sodobnega filma: namero širiti in razširjati koncept animacije. Zaradi svoje naravne inercije se film bolj približa nečemu, kar bi lahko poimenovali 'gibljiva grafika'.

A translation of the author's distinctive visual-art and point of view into film language. It represents a hybrid between classical, 2D hand animation and digital picture postproduction - an important characteristic of contemporary film which is, after all, the intention to expand and spread the notion of animation. The natural inertia of this piece draws us closer to something that could be characterized as ‘moving graphics'.

Company logos and computers screens. A playing piece and MySpace profile. A man's voice from off screen sings a lively Japanese song.
