Director: Julia Siuda
Academy of Fine Arts Jan Matejko in Krakow
Poland
The film deals with the problem of growing anger, frustration and aggression that seeks an outlet.The heroine of the film is a person who loses control of her anger. Losing herself in emotions, she cannot stand the tension. The animation shows suppressed anger and imaginary physical violence. It refers to commonly formulated thoughts or intentions: my blood is flooding … my nerves are choking, I will tear him to shreds …. I am about to kill someone …. etc.
An important element reflecting the character of the animation is frugal but expressive plasticity that uses organic dense lines and appropriately expressive color. Natural sounds (like broken bones and injured body parts) enhance the naturalistic message of emotions.
Filme nagrinėjama augančio pykčio, nusivylimo ir agresijos, kuri ieško išeities, problema. Filmo herojė – žmogus, kuris praranda pykčio kontrolę. Pametusi save emocijose, ji negali pakęsti įtampos. Animacijoje rodomas slopinamas pyktis ir įsivaizduojamas fizinis smurtas. Tai reiškia dažniausiai suformuluotas mintis ar ketinimus: mano kraujas plūsta … nervai užknisa, aš jį suplėšysiu į gabalėlius …. Aš ruošiuosi ką nors nužudyti …. ir tt.
Svarbus animacijos charakterį atspindintis elementas – taupus, bet išraiškingas plastikas, naudojant organiškai tankias linijas ir atitinkamai išraiškingą spalvą. Natūralūs garsai (pvz., lūžę kaulai ir sužalotos kūno dalys) sustiprina natūralistinę emocijų žinią.

This Master’s thesis is an animated film based on a short story written by Mihovil Rismondo, my colleague from Academy of Dramatic Art. The topic is peer violence with an emphasis on the psychological kind. Set in school days, it is a story about boys who physically show their lack of understanding of someone who is different, and forcing such behavior to the limit. It also shows how one sees bullies in a much worse way than they really are. Also, the film shows how someone is a much bigger bully than what his idea of it is.We are guided through the film by the narrator, who is actually one of the bullies. With the idea of creating an original visual, different techniques of material preparation (drawing, photography, film, collage…) as well as different types of animation (2D, 3D, stop motion) were used. Genre-wise, the film combines drama with horror, ending in catharsis.
