Author’s animated short films
MISALIGNED | animated short film, 2022
The woman and the man are in a room, a gecko sits in a terrarium, several flies are circling a lamp. Gradually we find more and more dependencies and analogies between their activities and observed elements as the rhythm of their universes accelerates. The microcosms shown seem to interact rhythmically and belong to some cosmic order.
THE OTHER | animated short film, 2018
While waiting for the arrival of the mysterious newcomer, people keep on guessing who is he. The blury vision of the stranger takes shape the way his presence feels almost real. The initial excitement of the crowd turns into anxiety.
FOREIGN BODY | animated short film, 2016
A foreign body lives its own life. You’re not able to get rid of it, it’s always with you, you need it. Caress that odd part of yours, don’t try to shave its long tousled fur. This is a story about something that’s considered to be strange at first but turns out to be the dearest thing to us. About the transformation of inside and outside.
