Jury's verdict:
A simple local tale comes to life in a heartwarming way through the imaginative use of materials that are thematically intertwined with the story's content. Despite the youth of the authors, the animation style is impressive, as in all elements of the film - from drawings to music and narration - their unique expressiveness is clearly reflected. The story is thought out and carefully designed, and the entire film forms a stylistically and conceptually perfect whole, which represents a valuable contribution to the preservation and revival of our ethnological heritage.
film: DA BURD
author: Khei Ribarić
Jury's verdict:
In a surprisingly masterful and at the same time youthfully playful way, the film takes us from monotonous gray everyday life to the psychedelic interior of a growing teenager. A seemingly simple story about an unusual friendship that defies even gravity, unexpectedly addresses us with a subtle criticism of the consumerist world of adults. The interweaving of fantasy and reality seamlessly connects with the technically sophisticated use of music, costumes and editing, creating a fresh and original film product.
