Rex Animation Film Festival - Öppningskväll

Välkommen till öppningskväll av REX Animationsfestival 2019!

Berättande och konstnärlig kvalitet, lekfullhet och allvar, präglar REX Animationsfestival, som är tillbaka för femte året. På REX tar du del av det senaste och bästa inom europeisk animerad film, med en tematisk bredd som visar att animation verkligen är ett medium för berättande i vår tid. Biovisningar för både vuxna och barn varvas med samtal och workshops av olika slag runt om i Stockholm.

Under festivalens öppningskväll visas 6 kortfilmer med temat 'Dependencies':

- The Rain (Poland): A depiction of collective consciousness, the struggle between an individual  and group hypnosis. If we have no  accountability for our actions we could  be pushed to thoughtlessly follow the crowd, with tragic consequences. 

- Kids (Switzerland): An exploration of group dynamics. How do we define ourselves when we are all equal? The short film is accompanied by an interactive animation for computer.

- One Pair Coat (Germany): Jolanda and Hendrik are a couple. They have a very close relationship. Hendrik  is her favorite coat to put on. We witness a day in their life.

- Guilt (Poland): Alcohol turns a loving mother into a wolf, forming a difficult relationship with her daughter. A childhood full of love is confronted with a parent's depression.

- Sh_t Happens (Slovakia & Czech Republic): The caretaker exhausted by everything, his frustrated wife and one totally depressed deer. Their mutual despair leads them to absurd events, because... shit happens all the time.

- Template Message (France): What is exactly the fundamental tension between still picture and motion picture? Pictures are somehow bits of information: they converge, get ordered and eventually become unreadable.

Regi: Piotr Milczarek, Michael Frei, Yi Luo, Marcjanna Urbańska, David Štumpf & Michaela, Mihalyi, Marin Martinie
