Kosuke Sugimoto | Czech Republic | 2017 | 5 min | CS

This visually inventive music video for a song by a popular Czech singer skilfully combines computer animation with real footage and plays with various scales and photographs. The music video was made in the Czech Republic, but its director belongs to a new wave of young Japanese authors specializing in synchronizing animation and music.

Maria Procházková | Czech Republic | 2 min

Books nominated in individual categories of the Czech literary awards Magnesia Litera are presented in collaboration with multiple graphic artists so that every book has its own individual space and the viewers have a taste of its essence. One of the nominees was animator Tereza Vostradovská and so she logically got a chance to make one of the spots.

Česká pojišťovna: We will not let this happen

Nicolas Pasquet, Charles Keramoal, Saii _ | Czech Republic | 2017 | 1 min | CS

This commercial combines live action and 3D animation. Strange subversive creatures in a woman's household, her car and the street fear that the woman wants to arrange the right insurance policy and that will cost them their lives. The strongest of the anthropomorphised abstract creatures is water that uses the sewer system and catches the woman right as she’s about to enter the insurance company.

Panenka who spent most of his life behind the teacher's desk of a classroom at a local school, until his students told him about the advantages of the Erasmus programme.

Jupi Hot Drink

Michal Žabka | Czech Republic | 2017 | 1 min | CS

On a clearing in a snow-covered forest, we see a snowball shivering with cold. Suddenly Old Grandpa Clove comes and asks if the snowball is cold. But the snowball is insolent and the old man wants to teach it proper manners. He blazes fire on it with his cinnamon staff of warmth. The crust melts and reveals an orange. This puppet commercial makes humorous references to the classical Soviet fairy-tale Jack Frost.

Longital: Spokojná a sýta

Michaela Mašánová | Czech Republic | 2017 | 6 min | SK

This dark music video of the band Longital was made by a student from the Tomáš Baťa University in Zlín. The title of this dismal video may be a bit confusing (satisfied and full) as the video's main protagonist is wandering through a city by night and being following by various manifested concerns and fears.

This spot was made for an exhibition prepared by the Museum of Decorative Arts of the Moravian Gallery in Brno. Its author sensitively connects artefacts of the era of the prefab buildings boom in Czechoslovakia. We will see a typical orange Tatra truck, a typical living room and the buildings themselves.
