PRELUDIJ NA MORU*
Čovjek (kojeg predstavlja miš Aristotel) kreće na putovanje bez karte. Ne zna kamo ide ni što traži. No, teška nesreća dovodi ga do neočekivanog prijateljstva, a Aristotel otkriva najveće blago života. Ovaj alegorijski film kombinira umjetnost lutkarstva s pejzažima snimljenima na rtu Kamenjak u Hrvatskoj. Jedinstven izgled filma nastao je kombiniranjem starinskih tehnika optičkog komponiranja s ručno rađenim scenografijama i lutkama, a snažna i emotivna glazba majstorski ruši granice između gledatelja i lutke.
STUDIO ARISTO, MÖRBISCH AM SEE, REPUBLIC OF AUSTRIA
They are a trio of artists working in theatre and music. In 2021, after having lots of fun shooting their experimental puppet opera Toadette during COVID-19, they decided it was their calling to commit their work to film. And so, Studio Aristo was born.
Their concept is to create films that blend live action hand puppetry with nature’s evocative landscapes. This unique combination has an organic and homemade style that represents the imperfections that are human and beautiful, and irreplaceable by newer technologies. They are currently located in Austria.
