Director's statement
Facing not belonging to society creates a sense of loneliness in the individual. The desire to be accepted by others often forces us to put on a mask.

Given the extremely rich selection of student films this year, we are not worried about the future of Slovenian cinema. It was difficult to choose, and it would be unfair to award the prize to just one film in so many different genres: fiction, documentary, experimental and animation. That is why we decided to cut this year’s Vesna into six parts, as we believe there are six films that deserve it equally. Due to the festival rules, this was not possible: the Vesna can only be awarded to one film. So, in accordance with the rules, we are awarding six special mentions, but we still consider them symbolically as the Vesna Award, while taking this opportunity to call again for a recast of the rules. But if you ask us, each of the winners should be allowed to keep the Vesna with them for two months of the year.
Each of the highlighted films stands out for certain creative aspects, and it is these that need to be recognised. Anja Resman’s animation Beyond the Face is an intricate work that reflects the artist’s creative maturity. Karin Likar’s (Un)Lucky Day is a playful, witty, imaginative and visually fresh animation. Nel Jeraj Sedej’s The Window is a brave social critique within a film experiment. Špela Koščak’s Interface can be experienced as a deft homage to avant-garde cinema through the sonic imprint of our times. Iza Mlakar has managed to weave an emotionally compelling film with her subtle direction of the actors in Threads. David Champaigne’s After is a genre-defining minimalist film distinguished by a well-executed dramaturgical arc.

hrvaško: Animirani film Bez lica (Slovenija), lutkarska stop animacija redateljice i scenaristice Anje Resman će u 6 minuta ispričati priču o dječaku Nalu, koji udubljen u svoj svijet sanjari o avionima, te je najednom primoran iskoračiti u drugi svijet kako bi ostvario svoje želje te tako zauvijek prekinuo vezu s djetinjstvom. U tom drugom svijetu svi nose maske, što će na kraju nositi i Nalu. Sam scenarij je detaljno razrađen i precizno nas uvodi u radnju, a isto je i sa storyboardom, koji crtežom precizno definira likove, njihove međusobne odnose i transformaciju koju prolazi Nalu. Čitajući redateljsku koncepciju, pod dojmom sam da se radi o projektu koji je Anja Resman pomno planirala još od studentskih dana. Također, sama ideja je proizašla iz njezinog osobnog iskustva izlaska iz sfere „privatnog“ u sferu „javnog“ te nam Anja ovim animiranim filmom želi prenijeti vlastiti sentiment. U redateljskoj koncepciji, kao i u scenariju, jasno se ocrtava taj kontrast između svijeta djece, kroz žive boje te svijeta odraslih kroz zagasite tonove.

Film je produkcijsko zelo ambiciozno zastavljen, ustvarjen bo v tehniki stop animacije z lutkami, pri čemer je precejšen del scenografije in lutk že izveden. Za mlado avtorico bo to prvi profesionalni film, okrog sebe pa ima izbrano zelo izkušeno avtorsko ekipo: koscenarista, direktorja fotografije ter glavno animatorko. Avtorica želi s filmom popeljati vsakega gledalca skozi lastno izkušnjo o odraščanju in
občutkih, ko je prvič iz varnega okolja družine prestopil/a prag šole. Temo filma, vstop v šolo oz. odraslost in s tem povezano igranje družbenih vlog, razumemo kot relevantno in univerzalno, zaradi mask, ki jih nosijo odrasli liki, pa ideja sproža aluzijo na današnji pandemični čas.
