Never Like the First Time! II
Length: 80′
First films by leading international authors
All films with dialogue are subtitled in Slovenian and English.
Raucous comedy following a quiet Welsh housewife Beryl, on a birthday treat to a 'ladies only' night at a local pub, where she encounters the evening's entertainment... a male stripper.
In front of an indifferent producer, Shakespeare performs his Complete Works as an audition piece.
Toccafondo made some 1200 drawings of the silent movie star Buster Keaton and subjected them to his process of transformation. His hero collapses, climbs and parades on an ever-changing canvas that is set to exhilarating violin music.
Tinfish is about power, sex and fishes. Wow!
One café, many people, many talks, one couple, one life.
Buildings, black crows, a flood of bar codes, clone-looking businessmen, shopping-addicted ladies... These images, which probably symbolize excessive, standardized and overcrowded modern cities, are condensed in this animation.
Extraordinarily detailed and beautifully drawn animation of a bizarre and surreal world; the domestic life of a fat man, his wife, a sort of oversized obese chicken, and their child/pet, a slug-like creature with a human head. This expressionistic and interior vision of Soviet animator Kovalyov is like an animated Eraserhead.
An experimental animated film based on repetitive movement. The main intention was to create a film much in the same way as you would create a piece of music; themes that build and develop rather than a traditional narrative.
A journey into the centre of Hell; Dante’s The Divine Comedy, illustrated by Gustav Dore’s wood engravings and animated by scratching directly into the surface of the film.
A journey from home to work as seen through the filter of the conscious and subconscious mind. Through the use of moving collages and painterly animation combined with live-action footage, the viewer is able to share the traveller’s experiences and his mental reactions to the trials and triviality of urban existence.
Two young cowboys spend their days in the cool shade of a rock, but at night they make their way to the bazaar of sexual desire. Drifting further and further in, they encounter many dangerous and fascinating characters. Eventually they realize that they are completely lost. By the time they manage to leave, they find that their lives have been changed forever.
“We never fell. We never even stumbled. We just waited for the spirits to rise from out of the ground.”
For his entire life, a man has waited outside a closed door. What lies behind? The truth he seeks or another door? Featuring stark animation and a powerful expressionist line, the film illustrates a fruitless and absurd quest for truth. Based on a parable by Kafka, this timeless story is enriched with the mesmerizing music of Arvo Pärt and the sober narration by Tony Robinson.
