Short films by Piotr Kamler
12.30, Pavilon I

In our journey through the universe of science fiction animation, we cannot forget the work of Polish animator Piotr Kamler. In the late 1950s, Kamler left his hometown of Warsaw to study in Paris where he eventually settled and started making short films on his own. 

Memoir of a Snail

Last year Adam Elliot, master of puppet animation and winner of the Academy Award and numerous other awards, released his latest feature film titled Memoir of a Snail. It comes 15 years after his previous successful feature film, Mary and Max (in the meantime, he also made a short film titled Ernie Biscuit, 2015). The Australian filmmaker once again charms audiences with his narrative skills. This time, his story is biographical. It focuses on the rather peculiar and reclusive, but also kind-hearted Grace, a passionate reader living a hard life in 1970s Melbourne.
