Thema
Art, Animation, Gaming
Against Gravity. The Art of Machinima.
This year we present a comparatively young genre: Machinima. It is defined as "the art of making animated films in a virutal 3D real-time environment". Curared by Vladimir Nadein and Dmitry Frolov.
Special
re-selected Dossier #2
Northern Lights
re-selected Dossier goes into a new round. With Northern Lights, Tobias Hering catapults us back into the 60s. Using films, documents and images, he tells of the relationship between the Short Film Festival and Sweden. The focus is on the rejection of the film Ferrum (1963) and why Peter Nestler played a central role.
