A BLUE ROOM
Tomasz Siwiński
Animation / 2014 / 14’26
Tomasz Siwiński painted pain. He painted it with blue which is considered a soothing colour. Together with the main protagonist we end up in a closed room where there is only a view but no way out. Don’t try to break the screen.
FRAGMENTS
Aga Woszczyńska
Live action / 2014 / 25′
The world presented in Fragments falls slowly apart. A pair of protagonists renounces reality in a designer dungeon taken on credit but there is no place left even for emotions.
If you feel cold during this film, it is not because the air conditioning got broken.
