übrigens: alle Filme von Frauen
Einige der derzeit erfolgreichsten Animationsfilmen stammen von Frauen, die zwischenmenschliche Themen behandeln. FAČUK thematisiert die Ablehnung einer unverheirateten Frau, die in einem erzkonservativen Dorf ein Kind erwartet. WINTER IN MARCH erzählt fast dokumentarisch von einem Paar, das mit Ausbruch des Krieges gegen die Ukraine aus Russland flüchtet. Die poetische Arbeit LONG DISTANCE stellt die fundamentale Frage zu Nähe und gleichzeitiger Ferne einer Liebesbeziehung. Zwischen Realismus und Fantasie pendelt DOG ALONE, der auch von der liebevollen Beziehung einer jungen Frau zu ihrem Großvater erzählt.

by the way: all films by women
Some of today’s most successful animated films are by women and explore interpersonal themes. FAČUK addresses the rejection faced by an unmarried woman pregnant in a staunchly conservative village. WINTER IN MARCH tells the almost documentary-like story of a couple fleeing Russia when war breaks out in Ukraine. The poetic work LONG DISTANCE poses the fundamental question of closeness and simultaneous distance in a romantic relationship. DOG ALONE oscillates between realism and fantasy, also telling the story of a young woman’s loving relationship with her grandfather.


In a God-fearing village lying between two rivers, giving birth to a Fačuk—an illegitimate child—is a mortal sin. Everyone in the village recoils from the young pregnant woman who is about to give birth at any moment. In this narrow-minded and harsh rural environment, fear grows inside her.

Helpless in the face of a repressive state, a young couple leaves their home—an escape that slowly turns into a surreal nightmare. In this puppet stop-motion short, their journey leads from Russia toward Georgia. As landscapes blur and time seems to stall, memory, guilt and hope merge into a dreamlike maze, capturing the quiet dread of exile.

An astronaut prepares for a flight into space, and a diver descends into the depths. The farther apart they are, the closer they are.

After the death of its owner and companions, a dog is left alone in its house. Next door, an aging man has quietly withdrawn from those around him, until his granddaughter Marta returns from London, where she has never felt more alone. Dog Alone unfolds in a gently magical realist key, where sound and music deepen the drama, tracing the unsentimental process of coming home and reconnecting—with family, with a place and with a creature that has also been left behind.
