The Sounds from the Drawers

Vítor Hugo | Portugal | 2017 | 7 min

In the beginning, there was an object, a very special collective instrument with 42 drawers and boxes and other pieces of furniture where the sound came from... Mechanical, elective, soft, noisy and mysterious. And from these sounds, pictures came in a synchronization exercise without ever losing us in the drawers’ labyrinthine memories.

How to Paint Your Rainbow

Erick Oh | United States, South Korea | 2018 | 2 min

Erick Oh has his own characteristic film language. He traditionally uses a white screen as a backdrop for a rapid microstory. This time, he chose the strange topic of reincarnation. A dying man causes new life to spring up – a flower. The flower evolves into a whole new ecosystem that matures to reconciliation and eventually forms a rainbow.

Word!

Amos Mulder | Netherlands | 2017 | 8 min | EN

Word! is a visual exploration of language and is set in an alternate post-factual universe. Quotes in the form of tweets by philosophers and writers such as Wittgenstein, Heidegger or Carroll appear there. Between the chirping of birds and the evocative urban scenarios that unfold, the viewer is invited on a cinematic journey that interrogates our indissoluble relationship with words.

Persistence of Vision IV

Ismael Sanz-Pena | Norway | 2018 | 1 min

This humorous short film about the inevitability of death and the human struggle was shot at Frogner Park in Oslo, Norway. It is a follow-up to the author’s architectonic sketches in which – like in last year’s Persistence of Vision III – he animated seemingly static construction elements of buildings. Slight visual moderation is in this case made up for by an expressive soundtrack.

Not My Type

Gerd Gockell | Germany, Switzerland | 2017 | 3 min

An experimental animation about the history of typography, print media and a mosquito experiencing Shakespeare’s most famous quote. The Swiss director takes us on a captivating journey to the kingdom of letters. They are layered on each other and show their aesthetic beauty through the ages. Other important elements are the texture of the surface beneath the letters and, of course, the film’s elaborate soundtrack.

Interstitial

Shunsaku Hayashi | Japan | 2017 | 7 min

Figures move through an indistinct space. A combination of real-life footage with stylized drawings is accompanied by a disturbing soundtrack. The film depicts the individuality in the serial solidarity of the individual. How to be single? In the continuous identity of atoms, what can divide it from the plurality? What can divide it from the continuous time?

Waves

Vojtěch Domlátil | Czech Republic | 2017 | 3 min

An observer, who clears his mind and constrains his resources to work only with time and motion in space, can not only find pixilation rapture, but what’s more, if he connects to the wave, his journey will consume him in his entirety. And everything plays its part – waving of the grass, clouds, hills and valley, sunlight and also ourselves. A non-narrative pixilation of the Czech landscape.

The Tasmanian Tiger

Vergine Keaton | France | 2018 | 14 min

A Tasmanian tiger wanders around in his zoo enclosure. A glacier is slowly melting. Facing its predicted disappearance, nature exerts its fury, bursts over the frame and resists its extinction by transformation. Even though the authors work with a strong ecological message tempting them to be direct, the appeal of their film lies in a slowly built atmosphere and subtle hints.
