Slovene: Vizualna poezija, ki prefinjeno uporablja tehniko cut-out animacije, nas popelje v misli glavne junakinje, ki poskuša pobegniti iz najtemnejših delov svojega uma. Močan prvi profesionalni film nas je prepričal s popolno kombinacijo slike, zvoka in pripovedi.
The Vesna for Best Animated Film goes to Zarja Menart’s Three Birds. This visually refined animation speaks subtly about woman’s nature. Images of ancient female alliances, connection to nature and rituals are intertwined to create emotional tension.
