Synopsis
Three poor musicians—a fiddler, an accordionist, and a flutist—struggle to earn a living. After another failed performance at a fair, they seek shelter from an approaching storm and stumble upon the ruins of an old castle deep in the forest. Unaware that something is watching them, they make themselves comfortable, only to be captured by an ancient dwarf, with the help of a sentient walnut tree. When Moonbeard recognizes the fiddler’s instrument as a powerful dwarven relic, the musicians find themselves at the heart of a long-forgotten secret—one that could change their fate forever.

Comitee: Špela Čadež, Darko Masnec, Boštjan Potokar Explication
Animirani projekt "Pojoči grad", navdihnjen po ljudski pravljici, raziskuje klasična vprašanja skromnosti in dobronamernosti, kar mu daje univerzalno privlačnost. Projekt je zasnovan zelo ambiciozno, s široko ekipo izvajalcev z mednarodno koprodukcijo. Združevanje 3D tehnike animacije z naslikanimi teksturami bo filmu omogočilo ohranitev ljudsko-fantazijskega čara in približevanje popularni estetiki kar bi lahko poudarilo množično privlačnost projekta. Projekt je koprodukcija z armenskim studiem ArtStep in del širšega projekta "Balkan fairy tales", kar omogoča višji nivo animacije in mednarodno predstavitev. Film si prizadeva oddaljiti od klasične zahodnjaške fantazije in gledalcem prikazati nekaj inherentno slovanskega, tako v vizualni podobi kot v načinu predstavitve zgodbe. Estetika filma bo rahlo melanholična in rahlo srhljiva, z atmosferskimi svetovi v kontrastu z ekspresivnimi liki.
