ZADNJA PREDSTAVA / LÕPUÕHTU / CLOSING SESSION
Hardi Volmer (Nukufilm)
Estonija/Estonia, 2007, 35mm, 14'40''

Neke noči se na planoti Karahundzi zberejo nenavadne figure, podobe boga, ki jih je človek ustvaril v različnih obdobjih in kulturah. Sočasno v nekem tehničnem središču tiskajo vse kombinacije črk v znanih svetovnih jezikih. Po prepričanju tibetanskih menihov bo zapis vseh različic božjega imena povzročil konec sveta. Pred velikim koncem pa se stvarnik odloči, naj se bogovi spoznajo.

One night weird figures gather at the Karahundzhi Plateau, figures of God created by Man in different times and cultures. At the same time, all letter combinations in all known languages are being printed in some technical centre. According to Tibetan monks if all God's names are written down, this will bring about the end of the universe. Before the end, the Creator decides to introduce the gods to each other.

ZGODAJ ALI POZNO / TÔT OU TARD
Jadwiga Kowalska (Hochschule Luzern)
Å vica/Switzerland, 2007, 35mm, 5'

Veverica in netopir. Srečanje različnih svetov in časovnih intervalov ... in še marsičesa drugega. Običajno, vsakdanje življenje se po nesreči nenadno ustavi. In tako se začne skupno popotovanje dveh samotnih postav.

A squirrel and a bat. The convergence of different worlds and times of day...and much more. By accident, the regular everyday life has ground to a halt. And thus begins the mutual journey of two solitary figures.

MORNARJEVA ZVESTOBA / SEEMANNSTREUE / SEA DOG'S DEVOTION
Anna Kalus
Avstrija, Nemčija/Austria, Germany, 2008, 35mm, 11'

Nemi animirani film je brez besed, čeprav izhaja iz besed. Svojo formo in tematiko ohlapno razvija iz mračne in rahlo nekrofilne pesmi Joachima Ringelnatzaz naslovom Seemannstreue, v kateri prvoosebni pripovedovalec pripoveduje o tem, kako je zakopal svojo umrlo nevesto Alwine v mrzlo zemljo, jo nato izkopal in tako dalje.

This silent animation film is wordless, though it is based on words, and develops its form and theme loosely on the basis of the macabre and subtly necrophilic poem Seemannstreue by Joachim Ringelnatz, in which the first-person narrator talks about burying his deceased bride Alwine in the cold ground, then digging her up, and so on.

MOKRE SANJE / VLAZEN SON / WET DREAM
Ivan Ivanovski
Makedonija/Macedonia, 2007, miniDV, 1'14''

Film v mešani tehniki, ki združuje kiparstvo, risbo in fotografijo v enem samem animacijskem postopku, prikaže notranje, blodnjavo izkustvo dekleta in intenzivno erotično občutenje, ki ga izzovejo njene sanje.

The mixed media expression comprising sculpture, drawing and photography joint in a single animated process evokes the inner surreal experience of a girl and her intense erotic sensation provoked by a dream.

TINNITUS #1
Michele Bernardi
Italija/Italy, 2007, miniDV, 3'46''

Zoprn žvižg odzvanja v mojih ušesih: gre morda za utrujene misli, ki naseljujejo celice mojih majhnih možganov?

A tiresome whistle echoes in my head: Perhaps it is the sound of tired thoughts which populate the cells of my tiny brain.

SOSLEDJE / SEKWENS / SEQUENCE
Robert Sowa (S.T.F.A.E.I.V. Studio A)
Poljska/Poland, 2007, 35mm, 7'53''

Sosledje — položaj, ko ena stvar časovno sledi drugi. Film potuje vzdolž nejasne meje med spomini in sanjami.
Mož se ne more osvoboditi spomina na ljubljeno osebo. V mislih obuja pretekle podobe, da bi poustvaril skupne doživljaje. Resnična opazovanja se mešajo z neresničnim in metaforičnim. Film z uporabo izrazito vizualnih sugestivnih podob prikaže študijo osamljenosti in ločitve.

Sequence - a following of one thing after another in time. The film travels along the blurred line between memory and dream.
A man is unable to part with the memory of a lost person dear to him. He evokes images trying to reconstruct their experiences. Realistic observations mix with the unreal and the metaphorical. Using suggestive images with strong visuality, the film shows a study of loneliness and separation.

PRAVLJICA ZA LAHKO NOČ / ESTI MESE / BEDTIME STORY
Kassay Réka (Filmtett)
Romunija, Madžarska/Romania, Hungary, 2008, BetaSP, 2'18''

Zgodba o zastrupljenih medenjakih. Animirani film po kratki zgodbi Örkényja Istvána je narejen s pomočjo medenjakastih likov, ki jih je na koncu treba tudi pojesti.

The story of some poisoned honey cookies. Animation made with cookie characters, which are to be eaten at the end as well. Based on the short story by Örkény István.

Claude Barras, Cédric Louis (Hélium Films/TSR/SSR idée suisse/Cinémagination/National Film Board of Canada)
Å vica, Kanada/Switzerland, Canada, 2007, 35mm, 8'

Mali Léon ima rad svojega dedka in njegovo gosto črno brado s čarobnimi močmi, ki zna celo gosenice spreminjati v metulje. A Léonova babica bi rada divjo brado postrigla in pod njo spet našla urejenega gospoda, s katerim se je poročila in ki je nosil le lične brčice. Ko starec spi, se babica s škarjami v rokah nevarno približuje, a Léon budno pazi na dedka. Dokler bo ta živ, bo imel tudi brado!

Little bald Léon loves his grandfather and his bushy beard, which seems endowed with magic powers. It even turns caterpillars into butterflies. But Léon's grandmother wants to cut off the unkempt beard and regain the distinguished-looking man she married. When the old man's asleep, grandmother prowls, scissors in hand, but Léon's keeping a watchful eye. As long as grandpa lives, the beard stays!

VODNJAK / STUDNIA / THE WELL
Andrzej Gosieniecki (Studio Mansarda)
Poljska/Poland, 2008, BetaSP, 9'07''

Pravkar se je posušil edini vodnjak v puščavski vasici. Vaščani si izmislijo neverjeten načrt, kako priti do vode ...

The only well in a desert village has just dried. The villagers come up with an incredible idea how to get the water...

OPTIČNO TOLKALO / OPTICAL PERCUSSION
Gerd Gockell
Å vica, Nemčija/Switzerland, Germany, 2008, 35mm, 4'20''

Tretji del trilogije izmišljenih rekonstrukcij. Leta 1937 sta se Oskar Fischinger in John Cage sestala v Los Angelesu, da bi razvila filmski projekt, za katerega bi Cage napisal glasbo. Zaradi nesrečnega dogodka ni bil projekt nikoli izpeljan, a Fischingerjeve ideje o zvoku so močno zaznamovale poznejše Cageovo skladateljsko delo. Ali se pričujoča rekonstrukcija približa njunemu namenu, ostaja odprto vprašanje.

Third part of a trilogy of fictitious reconstructions. In 1937 Oskar Fischinger and John Cage met in Los Angeles to develop a film project with music composed by Cage.
Because of an accident this project was never realized, but Fischinger's ideas about sound had a deep influence on Cage's later work as a composer. Whether this reconstruction comes close to their intention remains open.
