Slovenija, 2015, hd, 2:17
Visualisation of a song written in a dialect about Džoni's closet.
Križ / The Cross
Ize and Coki, carpenter apprentices by profession, armchair philosophers by nature; Mother and Son, mother tied to a wheelchair, son tied to mother – two at first unrelated, autonomous stories, tied by a miraculous event into a high-spirited comedy of errors. A wooden statue, nailed to a cross by the two apprentices, comes miraculously to life, only to start steering the course of events with its small ingenious interventions.
Mesečev gozd / Mesečeva šuma / Moon Forest
Moon forest is an allegory of the contemporary world that surrounds us and everybody that populates it is at its mercy. The relationship between confronted characters (man-deer, deer-man) presents the complicated relation between good and bad. Moon forest is a natural state that gives some and takes some and where people, try as they may, cannot control their destiny.
Kalne vode / Mutne vode / Muddy Waters
Two identical fish, two different life paths, but two identical destinies. How solid is genetic structure, after all? This film raises the question of how important the story in general is to proclaim something as a work of art.
How to Wait for a Very Long Time
A short film about a fisherman who is obsessed with catching a certain fish. His whole life he tries to make a big haul, but just catches other fishes instead. Over time he gets frustrated and is not able to value the beautiful nature around him. He forgets that it is the journey that is the reward.
Dekle, ki pada / Девојката што паѓа / The Falling Girl
A girl stands on top of a building looking down at the city. She jumps. She falls with her eyes closed and eventually finds herself in a pond surrounded by bizarre faces. The falling continues.
Izgubljen / Lost
In a parallel dimension, our protagonist wakes up to the ghastly sounds of organ music. Embarking on a journey through the spooky labyrinth of his subconscious, the inevitable confrontation with his inner fears leads our hero to a meeting with a long-forgotten memory.
Živijo ponoči / Oni žive noću / They Live by Night
A domestic, dark cockroach is a poor flier, but ambitiously trying to do better. Thanks to a firefly in love, or maybe just a compassionate firefly, the cockroach will overcome impossible and insurmountable obstacles and eventually fly. He will fly with her, but honestly just because he is holding to her back. An almost classic film story of a meeting of two characters: he who lives from the dark and she who lives from the lights.
Messy Flow
We don't know the beginning, we don't see the end. What we are left with, is flow.

Music produced with AV Clash tool.
Ravnotežje / Balansz / Balance
The world is a pillar, the human creature stands on its palm-sized top. This balance is sensitive – our roads are filled with beautiful series of failures and successes. But as these life-struggles swing, they give clearer answers to our great questions. Where will we find moral soundness, where will we reach true values? Will we find meaning in the eternal cycle?
Iluzija / Illusion
Animated film Illusion revolves around the main character as he battles his increasing alcohol addiction, which for him is a way to escape the dullness of everyday life, focusing on his inner conflict as he transitions between fantasy and reality.
One Day
One Day is the title of a song about the brevity of our life and its cosmic dimensions, composed and sung by Claudia Schwab, a young musician from Austria. This lyric piece of music was the starting point for stop-motion animation, combined with paper forms, shadows and 2D Flash.
Home
Despite the spreading attitude of fear and ignorance, every change starts with intercultural understanding and the simplest gesture of all: a welcoming hand. An audiovisual poem about the various meanings of ‘home’ and how it transforms, once you’re forced to leave and find a new one. A class of 48 students created this chained animation dealing with Europe’s ongoing socio-political situation.
