A beginning of recovery, between the present and the absent. Someone and a memory.
WE PRAYED IN WATER, 5min,. USA
Directed by Joseph Erb
“We Prayed in Water” represents the complexity of an old culture in today’s world. The dominant American culture is a new culture without much knowledge or understanding of its environment. This is a Cherokee animation that talks about a spiritual ceremony known as “going to water”. Cherokees did and many still do certain prayers in water.
THE ANTIQUARY, 8min., Portugal
Directed by Manuel Matos Barbosa
Every town has its collector or antique dealer, a mole who walks around in the ruin of things looking for stories or treasures. Vicente was a stingy old man, sparing with words. In his collection, the pixie of mercy that he admired so much was missing. The despair of not seeing his desire fulfilled drove him to illness. On the town's feast day, the procession visited the sick. Vincent received a visit from the priest, seeing, as if in a prodigy, the prior in great robes, holding the marvelous pyxid in his hands.
US, 5min., Portugal
Directed by Nelson Fernandes
"Us" is a short film of animation which mixes several Stop Motion techniques, proposing a journey through the conflicted human condition. War, loneliness, nature, crossings, fallen dreams are some of the recurring aspects in this animated poem on paper.
