New Goodness

Short, suggestive film by Lucie Sunková New Goodness, based on a poem by French poet Aimé Césaire, was created as part of a series of minute-long films inspired by Césaire’s poetry to commemorate centenary of his birth. We immerse into the poetic world of malleable painting, which resonates with one of the main themes of this year’s Anifilm – total animation.

Mobile Hospice The Homecoming

Lucie Sunková | Czech Republic | 2016 | 1 min

This one-minute spot takes us into a hospice. At first it seems that a dying woman we see is there all by herself. Her memories mingle with distant sounds she hears from the outside. But then it turns out that even in the hardest of times, people don’t have to be alone. The spot is atypical for its emotional atmosphere, which is enhanced by various details.

The Tree

Lucie Sunková | Czech Republic, France | 2015 | 15 min

The Tree, a captivating film made with the animation technique of paint-on-glass, is a metaphor about the similarities between people's lives and trees. It can also be perceived as a lyrical poem about birth and death, about the flow of time for people and nature, and a parable of parenthood and crossing the boundaries of a single life. There is an extraordinary resonance between the technique employed and the method of narration, giving the film a touch of wistfulness.
