Ben and Kat or Kat and Ben Go to Little Lake Fountain

Elizabeth Whitfield, Nicholas Dimas | United States | 2019 | 9 min

Ben and Kat are becoming adults, so according to their village tradition it’s time to go see Lake Fountain. This film was originally made as a sci-fi adventure but eventually found itself in disrupting the established genre rules. It also happily disrupts the viewers’ expectations beginning with the character stylisation and ending with dialogue and the storytelling form.

Men in a Hurry

For his graduate film, Thibault Llonch chose an unusual setting (gentlemen’s toilets) and a not particularly common genre (musical). This unexpected place hosts a magnificent musical performance with a dynamic choreography.

Inside the Pipelines

אדוה סנטו | Israel | 2019 | 6 min

The Israeli author based this refreshing visual pun on footage from the Tel Aviv Central Bus Station that she enhanced and “embellished” with animation. In her film, the hectic multicultural space of the gargantuan bus station brightens up with colours and evokes many associations. The film deals with loneliness, fear, identity, strangeness and affection.

Sh_t Happens

Dávid Štumpf, Michaela Mihalyiová | Czech Republic, Slovakia, France | 2019 | 14 min

A string of unexpected, comic and even absurd scenes from the life of a property caretaker in which the main roles are played by his frustrated wife and a depressed deer. The events take such a turn that it is soon clear that the film’s main protagonist cannot expect a happy end. The film has a simple but very original artistic style.
