Dnevna rutina u krojačkom salonu je tako kaotična da je ponekad potrebna varka kako bi se izdržalo. Mašta i spontanost nisu uvijek dovoljne. Kad krojač misli da je sam voli pustiti da mu misli lutaju. No što se događa kada se pojavi ljubav, a njegove misli izmaknu kontroli?
Izjava stručne komisije: Jednostavna priča ispričana kroz suptilnu, finu ujednačenost zvuka, kretanja i vizualne atmosfere.

The daily routine in the tailor's shop is so turbulent that in order to cope, it is sometimes necessary to trick a little. Fantasy and spontaneity are not always enough. When the tailor thinks he is alone he likes to let his thoughts do the work. But what happens when love comes into play, and his thoughts can no longer be controlled?
Jury statement: A simple story told through sensitive, fine balance of sound, movement and visual atmosphere.

Grande Anarca je kratki animirani film napravljen na više razina. Pozadinske slike se najprije nacrtaju i fotografiraju, a zatim projiciraju kao slajdovi; nakon toga se snimaju na 35 mm, pa se tako dobiva film na kojem se zatim kadar po kadar slika i urezuje; digitalna postprodukcija čini završnu verziju. Grande Anarca inspiriran je stilom kratke priče J.G. Ballarda, Odgovori na upitnik. Riječ je o živopisnom prikazu genetičkog eksperimenta izvedenom u kompleksu stambene zgrade.
Izjava stručne komisije: Nagrada za eksperimentalnu tehniku pričanja priče uz održavanje potpuno apstraktne animacije pune inventivnosti i inspiriranih umjetničkih slika.

Grande Anarca is a short animation film made in successive levels. The background images have been drawn, photographed and, subsequently, projected as slides; they were then shot in 35mm, so as to obtain the film which, frame after frame, would then be painted on and etched; digital post-production amounted to the final stage. Grande Anarca was inspired by the style of a short story by J.G. Ballard, Answers to a questionnaire. It is a vivid account of a genetic experiment carried out in a block of flats.
Jury statement: For it’s experimental technique of telling a story and maintaining complete abstract animation full of inventions and inspired art images.

Morb je priča o opresivnosti ispričana od početka do kraja. On bi mogao biti bilo koje biće, ali slučajno je mišićavi mužjak šiljate glave. Nije stvoren niti rođen, samo se pojavljuje iz kamenitog blata malog, napuštenog planeta. Pokušavajući otkriti pravila svog postojanja, istražuje koliko može. Shvaća kako što god činili, izlaza nema.
Izjava stručne komisije: Autor filma Morb ukazuje na nemogućnost postojanja nakon kataklizme na vrlo ekspresivan način. Pokazuje nam mračne sfere misli pomoću odlične stenografije i neobičnog, izvanredno animiranog lika.

Morb is an oppressive tale from the beginning to the end. He could be any creature but he happens to be a muscled male with a pin-pointed head. He is not created or born, he just emerges out of the stony mud of a small, deserted planet. Trying to figure out the rules of his existence, he explores what he can. He realizes that anything we do, there is no way out.
Jury statement: The author of the film Morb calls our attention to the impossibility of existence after the cataclysm in a very expressive manner. He shows us the dark spheres of thought with splendid stenography and an unusual, very well animated, character.

Negdje daleko, nakon što sve jabuke popadaju s drveća, sve spava. U malenom stanu majka i dijete također čvrsto spavaju. U međuvremenu, dok um spava…

Izjava stručne komisije: Jednostavnim metodama i efektnom grafikom autor nas uvlači u kompulzivan, ritmičan, opsjednut svijet koji nas opet ponovno intrigira i uznemiruje.

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, after all the apples have fallen from the trees everything is asleep. In a small flat mother and child are also sound asleep. Meanwhile, when the mind sleeps… Jury statement: By simple means and effective graphics the author draws us into a compulsive, rhythmic and obsessive world which continues to intrigue and disturb.

Rita je obična žena. Njeno tijelo zna kako menstruirati, voditi ljubav, roditi, no i kako ubiti nerođenu djecu…
Izjava stručne komisije: Izvanredno snimljen teatralni komad sa šokantnim i neobičnim pristupom majčinstvu. Unatoč gotičkom pretjerivanju, film ima suptilnih momenata.

Rita is a common woman. Her body knows how to menstruate, make love, give birth too, but also how to kill unborn babies …
Jury statement: A wonderfully executed piece of theatre with a shocking and unusual approach to motherhood. For all its gothic excess it has moments of subtlety.

Poetična priča o protjecanju vremena. Izjava stručne komisije: Ekspresivni crni i bijeli potezi kistom oslikavaju dvije kontrastne okoline, unutarnju i vanjsku. Film prekrasno prikazuje neumoljivo protjecanje vremena starijeg lika koji živi u njihovim sjećanjima.

A poetic story about the passing of time. Jury statement: Expressive, painterly black and white brushstrokes depict two contrasting environments, the inside and outside. The film beautifully captures the repressive passing of time of an elderly character living in their memories.

Tele-Dialog se zasniva na njemačkom izrazu “einfach gestrickt“ koji znači ''jednostavno pleteno'', a odnosi se na jednostavnu strukturu zapleta TV serija poput sapunica i talk showova. Film se sastoji od više od 800 kadrova koji su ispleteni crnom i bijelom vunom na analognoj pletećoj mašini. Zvuk ove pleteće animacije su arhivske televizijske snimke. Rečenice iz različitih zabavnih emisija su pomiješane. Apstraktna priča oslanja se na emocije, klišeje i prazne hvale no odaje dojam složene rasprave. Izjava M. S. Bastiana: Za jednostavnost, jasnoću i koncept koji se bavi ludošću dnevnih sapunica. Slagalica isječenih dijaloga kombiniranih s upečatljivim slikama.

Tele-Dialog is based on the German term “einfach gestrickt“ which means translated into English “simply knitted“ concerning the simple plot structure of TV-series like soap operas and talk shows. The film consists of more than 800 frames which were knitted with black and white wool on an analog knitting machine. The sound of this knitting-animation is found footage from television. Sentences from different entertainment series have been mixed together. The abstract story is based on emotions, clichés and platitudes but appears like a complex discussion. M. S. Bastian statement: For the simplicity, clarity and concept which deal with the insanity of daily tele-novellas. A puzzle of cutup dialogue combined with striking imagery.

Animirani film o ljudskom ponašanju u umjetnom okruženju.
Izjava Nicole Hewitt: Za korištenje animacije ekonomične i elegantne linije kako bi se prikazala utopijska/distopijska vizija uzgajanja i proizvodnje ljudskih bića..

An animation film about human behavior in an artificial environment.
Nicole Hewitt statement: For using animation with an economy and elegance of line to convey a utopic/dystopik vision of the farming and production of humans.

Ovaj park nije ležaj od ruža..
Izjava Tamása Patrovitsa: Cijela životna priča ispričana u vrlo jednostavnom, reduciranom grafičkom stilu. Na djelu je velika ekonomičnost naracije. U ovom ironičnom i grotesknom filmu svaka riječ i slika je na pravom mjestu.

This park ain’ t no bed of roses.
Tamás Patrovits statement: A story about a whole life told in a very simple reduced graphic style. There is great economy in the storytelling. In this ironic and grotesque film every word and picture is in the right place.
