Produção | Production: Fishyfilms-animation

Escola | School: Kunsthochschule Kassel

Synopsis:

Jeijay (2021) begins where most romantic movies end. The film is about two people who try to repress the slow but inevitable decay of their relationship. Feeling isolated in their own little home, more and more of the happy facade of their love life comes crumbling down. The profound melancholia of the subject is captured in little everyday moments that are intertwined with dreamlike sequences.

Realizadora|Director: Júlia Lerch

Produção | Production: Péter Fazakas

Escola | School: Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design

Synopsis

Short film that demonstrates that we are still controlled by our physiological needs. Our most important internal motivation remains to satisfy our needs. In four episodes that are interconnected but distinct from each other, the question was what would happen if our needs were changed, shifted in time, able to adjust to our agenda, or if we could influence them. To illustrate this phenomenon the work is not using human bodies or anthropomorphic shapes, rather amorphous shapes that are changing in their own material. The idea is supported by a strong visual environment as the film is made in 3D, materials, textures, spatial layouts, but even the laws of physics are different from reality.
