Animation and short films celebration

Yesterday International Film Festival "Etiuda&Anima" began in Kraków, Poland. I was a bit late, to I'm not any professional snobbish judge. I will tell you of films which impressed me in yesterday's selection.

Arsy-Versy- Miro Remo, Slovakia, 2009







Unfortunately there is just a trailer of this Slovakian short available online. It's a stroy of a 50 year old man who lives in a village with his mother. He doesn't work, doesn't have a wife or a girlfriend, but he is very fascinated with bats and is actually a great photographer. People think he is crazy and he is undoubtely different. But in another surrounding he could as well have been a great artist. It is a funny, but warm story.









Treasure Seakers - Agnieszka Bak, Poland, 2009









It is a stroy of 2 men from Poland who take their old car and go to Lvov - the capital of Ukraine. One of the men used to live there as a child. His father told him he hid a treasure there. After many years he wants to find the treasure. The guys buy a metal detector and take a long journey to experience an exciting and funny adventure. It is a documental story, like Arsy-Versy.




Schautag - Marvin Kren, Germany, 2008














It is a spooky and thrilling sory in which you get really surprised and shocked by the end. I can't tell you anything more.
