Hypnagogia

Magdalena Kvasničková | Czech Republic | 2017 | 5 min | CS

Hypnagogia is an original experiment that combines abstract scenes with techniques of traditional anidocs.

Wandering Bondy

Veronika Zacharová | Czech Republic | 2017 | 3 min | CS

This short, playful and pleasantly stylised “study” is an interpretation of the thoughts of Egon Bondy – famous Czech poet, writer and in particular philosopher. The author is deliberately not trying to illustrate the commentary, but rather to accompany it with a visual form humorously filled with associations, metaphors and irony.

Do Not Touch!

Pavel Endrle | Czech Republic | 2017 | 1 min

This one-minute-long puppet gag was made by a student from the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art of the University of West Bohemia during his study stay in the Polish city of Łódź. Although it is his first puppet film, the author managed to fully utilise its running length – both time-wise and space-wise – and created a humorous situation with an amusing punch line.

The Spellbound

Martin Kukal | Czech Republic | 2017 | 8 min

This atypically portrayed legend from ancient times tells the story of people trying to save an old lady’s only possession, a sick goat. But unlike the desperate characters, the viewers know what happened to the goat and know the story can’t have a happy ending. Or can it?
