• Anima 4x4, 16'

  The “Anima 4×4” project consists of four short animated films made by students of the animation studio at the Faculty of Painting and New Media of the Academy of Art in Szczecin. These are short original etudes titled: “Dynamix”, “Granice”, “Poza czasem”, “Kiosk”. Each film is a separate story that combines the technique of making and the place of origin. These are the second productions of this type in our voivodeship and we hope that this project will open the West Pomeranian Voivodeship to the production and realization of animated films. Producer: Academy of Art in Szczecin, co-producer: ZFF Pomerania Film.

• Humanoid, 12

  “Humanoid” is a film about searching for oneself in a world full of beings that replace thinking. The idea comes from observation of changes occurring in technology, which – although it facilitates the actions undertaken by man and makes everyday life easier – can take away much more than it seems throughout years. The main idea was not to let a non-emotional being completely take over the world.
