TISTA, KI MERI / ONA KOJA MJERI / SHE WHO MEASURES
Veljko Popović (Kenges)
Hrvaška/Croatia, 2008, digiBeta, 6'40''

MAYA: iz korena glagola "ma"; meriti, omejevati, oblikovati.
Maya ("tista, ki meri"); varljiva in zavajajoča moč sveta.
Smo resnično svobodni? So naše želje resnično naše ali le vsiljeni proizvodi družbe, v kateri živimo? Vprašanje, ki si ga film zastavlja, je naslednje: Smo sužnji kulture in družbe, v kateri smo se rodili, ali vendarle obstaja možnost pobega?

MAYA: From the verb root "ma"; to measure, to limit, to give form.
Maya ("she who measures"); the deluding or illusive power of the world.
Are we truly free? Are our desires truly our own or merely imposed products of the society we live in? The question this film is asking is: Are we slaves to our culture and society we were born to or is there a way to escape?

ALTER EGO
Kuba Gryglicki (Studio Mansarda)
Poljska/Poland, 2007, BetaSP, 7'

Nekje v divjini stoji stolp, v katerem svojo samoto skriva ostareli dvorni norček. Nejevoljni čudak tam sanjari o svoji veličini in odrezan od sveta sploh ne opazi, kako drugačno od njegovih blodenj je resnično življenje. Zadovolji se z malimi užitki, ki mu dajejo občutek, da živi v boljšem svetu. Iluzija je tako resnična, da postane obsedenost, v kateri norček izgubi svojo identiteto.

Somewhere in the wild, a tower shelters an aging Jester`s solitude. There, the sullen weirdo feeds on dreams about his greatness. Secluded from the world, he seems not to notice how his life differs from the dream. He derives satisfaction from little everyday pleasures, which give him a delusion of life in a better world. This vision is so real it becomes an obsession in which the Jester loses his identity.

GONDOLA / DIE SEILBAHN / THE CABLE CAR
Claudius Gentinetta, Frank Braun (gentinettafilm)

While traveling by a cable car to a place somewhere in the mountains, an old man treats himself to some snuff tobacco. Et voilà! With every sneeze the cable car cabin is falling more and more apart. The man, however, is far from accepting his fate just like that.

Jānis Cimermanis (Animacijas Brigade Film Studio)
Latvija/Latvia, 2007, BetaSP, 9'

DIALOGOS
Ãœlo Pikkov (Eesti Joonisfilm)
Estonija/Estonia, 2008, BetaSP, 4'47''

Dialogos je eksperimentalna animacija v edinstveni tehniki risanja neposredno na filmski trak. Gre za izvrsten primer paradoksalnega mišljenja in absurdnega humorja. Film prikaže sodobno življenje — tehnološko družbo s preobilico znakov, kodov in referenc — na izjemno svoboden in komičen način.

Dialogos is an experimental animation film made in a unique technique — all the visual material has been drawn directly on the film tape. The film is a superb example of paradoxical thinking and absurd humour. It shows modern life — a technological society with too many signs, codes and references — in a very open and extremely funny way.

O NOGAVICAH IN LJUBEZNI / O PONOŽKÁCH A LÁSCE / ABOUT SOCKS AND LOVE

Marina Rosset (Hochschule Luzern)
Å vica/Switzerland, 2008, 35mm, 4'27''

Trije bratje živijo na odročni gozdni jasi. Ko se mora najmlajši nekega dne odpraviti v gozd, si od strahu ne upa niti odpreti oči in tako se spotakne čez medveda.

KIZI MIZI
Mariusz Wilczyński (Culture Channel" TVP KULTURA" of Telewizja Polska S.A.)
Poljska/Poland, 2007, 35mm, 20'45''

Tudi če imamo to srečo, da ljubimo in smo ljubljeni, globoko v sebi ostajamo nekoliko osamljeni. Film govori o tem, kako drago moramo plačati za svojo nezmožnost, da bi prenesli to osamljenost. O tem, da moramo za ljubezen pazljivo skrbeti, saj se vrnitev k ljubljeni osebi lahko izkaže za nemogočo, tudi če na obeh straneh tli žareče hrepenenje. Razbitega diamanta ne moremo več zlepiti. 

Even if we are lucky enough to love and be loved, deep inside we always feel a bit lonely. Kizi Mizi is about the price we pay for being unable to handle that loneliness, about the need to take very good care of love, since a return to the nearest and dearest may turn out to be impossible even if there is a big paralyzing yearning on both the sides. A broken diamond cannot be glued back together.
