Jury Programme
Njegova komedija / His Comedy
A journey into the centre of Hell; Dante’s The Divine Comedy, illustrated by Gustav Dore’s wood engravings and animated by scratching directly into the surface of the film.
Tihožitje s skodelico / Still Life with Small Cup
A radical re-working of an etching by Italian artist Giorgio Morandi, brought to life by engraving frame by frame into the photographic emulsion of colour filmstock.
Pohištvena poezija / Furniture Poetry
How can you prove this table does not vanish or alter shape the minute your back is turned? The film-maker contributes to this philosophical debate by changing tables, chairs, jugs, fruit and everything else lying around his house.
Dr. Jekyll in g. Hyde / Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Imagine that the camera is possessed with a psychosis similar to human schizophrenia; suppose that this disease subtly changes every single frame of film while leaving the narrative superficially intact.
Ko Darwin spi / While Darwin Sleeps
Thousands of insects pass through the film each for a single frame. It seems that the genetic programme of millions of years is taking place in a few minutes. It is like a mescaline vision dreamt by Charles Darwin.
Paul Bush govori / Paul Bush Talks
Paul Bush tries to talk about the making of While Darwin Sleeps and his aspirations for cinema but all the time the film itself tries to take over and in the end completely overwhelms him.
Tiha ljubezen / Secret Love
During village celebrations a father and daughter dance but a quarrel begins, other villagers take sides and events turn to violence beyond control. Set to the song Father and Daughter by Percy Grainger.
Pas de Deux de Deux
A parasitic presence has completely taken over the body of its host. A classical pas de deux from Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake is restaged frame by frame with the original dancers replaced by four new dancers.
Šindžukujski samuraji / Shinjuku Samurai
Twenty-six citizens of Tokyo stop for a moment in front of a time lapse camera in the busy Shinjuku entertainment district of the city.
Poklon Busbyja Berkeleyja Mae West / Busby Berkeley's tribute to Mae West
A little known tribute by director and choreographer Busby Berkeley to screen sex goddess Mae West.
Razgaljeni / Lay Bare
A composite portrait of the human body, revealing it as it is only rarely seen in our most intimate relationships – erotic and comic, beautiful and vulnerable.
Muzej v petih minutah / The Five Minute Museum
A romp through the museums of England and Switzerland in which the objects on display come to life and reveal the stories of their creation. It is a celebration of the chaotic diversity conjured by the human hand and mind, and the eccentricity of museum collections.
Albatros / The Albatross
Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, illustrated by 19th century wood engravings and brought to life by scratching directly onto the surface of colour filmstock.
