In 2013’s Boles, which is based on Maxim Gorky’s story Her Lover, Čadež uses stop-motion puppet animation to tell the story of the encounters, possibly imaginary, between a lonely writer and his lovelorn next-door neighbour. Oscillating between fantasy and realism, Filip’s struggles with his writer’s block are interrupted when his voluptuous neighbour Tereza asks him to type a letter to her boyfriend. The silicon construction of the puppets allows for a malleability often uncommon to stop-motion and the sets are beautifully realised, reminiscent in some ways of a doll’s house.

Suzan Pitt’s dialogue-free surreal animation explores female sexuality and identity. Asparagus is dreamlike and episodic in its structure – one idea prompting the next in pattern of circular associations. Refusing any straightforward interpretation, it engages with ideas around creative expression and inspiration; part of the film takes place in a theatre, for which Pitt constructed a 10-foot set, complete with 200 miniature seats and an audience of fidgeting clay puppets. The rest of the film was made using psychedelically-hued cel animation.

Pitt, like many animators, is an artist who works across different media and Asparagus can be seen as an evolution of Pitt’s earlier paintings, which she has described as ‘visual poems’. After premiering at the Whitney Museum of Art, Asparagus played for two years alongside David Lynch’s Eraserhead (1977) in midnight screenings in Los Angeles and New York.

Wild Life

This animated short tells the story of a dapper young remittance man, sent from England to Alberta to attempt ranching in 1909. However, his affection for badminton, bird watching and liquor leaves him little time for wrangling cattle. It soon becomes clear that nothing in his refined upbringing has prepared him for the harsh conditions of the New World. A film about the beauty of the prairie, the pangs of homesickness and the folly of living dangerously out of context. Directed by Amanda Forbis & Wendy Tilby - 2011 (from youtube)

the painted style is amazing, but also the picturesque quality in the shots he uses, but the humor in the story and the exaggeration of the characters features and attitudes makes it very funny
