ANDREJ (15), a quiet and withdrawn teenager, lives in the countryside with his FATHER (45), a hunter. Teased by his peers and affected by his mother’s absence, Andrej spends his days in solitude. Step by step, his unusual transformation begins: fur spreads across his body and he slowly loses the ability to speak. He is turning into a wild animal. Andrej hides his appearance from his father, who suspects a beast is lurking nearby. One cold winter morning, the father spots a wolf in front of the house, which escapes into the nearby forest. With a rifle on his shoulder, he heads into the woods to hunt the wolf and find his son.

In Kožuh, as in my graduation film Kurent, I continue exploring the individual in the fragile years of growing up and their place in society, which also resonates with adults. Through an intimate teenage story and a symbolic transformation into a wolf, the grotesque-melancholic 2D animation explores silence, anger, loneliness, unresolved grief, and repressed emotions of adolescence.

Perspektivni mlad avtor, ki je že prepoznaven po svojem razgibanem in stiliziranem likovnem izrazu. Tokrat prijavlja v razvoj svoj profesionalni prvenec, ki predstavlja nadgradnjo njegovih prejšnjih filmov. V scenariju avtor dovolj dobro prikaže tesnobo najstniškega psihofizičnega spreminjanja s preobražanjem v divjo žival, kar menimo, da je zanimiv in izviren pripovedni postopek. Ker je v trenutni verziji scenarija velik poudarek na preobrazbi protagonista, bi morda lahko nekaj več ambicije vložil še v zaplete med odnosi, jasneje vzpostavili zaplet in motivacijo oziroma razloge zanj v okolju in pri protagonistu. Pozdravljamo vključitev projekta v mednarodne programe za razvoj filmskih projektov, prav tako pa sodelovanje z izkušenim domačim producentom. Časovni in vsebinski načrt razvoja projekta kot tudi predračun in viri financiranja so prikazani ustrezno.
