THE BEST OFF STOPTRIK IFF – pokaz specjalny / Supraśl

StopTrik is an international stop motion festival – handmade spatial animation in which puppets, plasticine worlds, bulk materials and various objects of everyday use come to live. StopTrik IFF is held in Slovenia (Maribor) and Poland (Niepołomice, Bielsko-Biala). In each of these towns we can witness the latest achievements of artists from all over the world: both traditional stop motion films and experimental forms, using stop motion as one of many means of expression. The audience of the festival is responsible for granting the awards.

The presented selection includes winners and laureates of 4 StopTrik IFF, and other competition films which particularly appealed to the audience. The works by artists from China, Serbia, Slovakia, Great Britain, Poland, Italy and Croatia thematically revolve around the ills of the modern world, from consumerism, through pathologies within democracy and the threat of totalitarianism, to the economic crisis in Greece. Global politics affects individuals. The authors are inspired by such issues as searching for identity, partnerships and family relations as well as struggling with daily routines. Political metaphors go hand in hand with fairy tales, which often turns out to be a horror.
