SINGING WASHING MACHINES (2′), 2020.
🎬 School of Animated Film Čakovec, Čakovec
📝 A joyful and funny story about a laundromat where washing machines live. One day a repairman enters the laundromat and wakes them up. The washing machines start their attack.
👁‍🗨 It’s obvious this film is extremely well thought out in terms of its screenplay and directing. It’s also obvious how much effort has been invested in the characters and the animation. But where on Earth did they find such great vocalists among household appliances… That part is still not clear to us.
🏆 1st award of the expert jury (59th Croatian Children’s Film Festival)

GOLD MINERS (3′), 2021.
🎬 Photo Cinema Video Club Zaprešić, Zaprešić
📝 Two gold miners roam over the Wild West in search of gold. They share everything: food, drink, hearth, laughter and sweat. In the end they get lucky and find gold, but with it comes gold fever.
👁‍🗨 The atmosphere is tense and exciting, and the actors are charismatic and convincing. We may have seen plenty of stories from the Wild West, but, until now, we weren’t aware of how much we needed an animated cowboy. This film wins these awards for the hard work put into it, its interesting plot, good sound effects and beautifully expressed details.

THE PINE TREE IN THE MOUNTAIN (2′), 2020.
🎬 Creative Film Studio VANIMA, Varaždin
📝 This film, in addition to conveying a very important message about the destructive effects humans have on nature, has a strong artistic side. The black and white drawings, fine textures, as well as the musical weft, are in complete harmony with the film’s topic. Be it arson or human carelessness, this film certainly critiques human action. Still, it has an optimistic end.
👁‍🗨 This film stands out primarily with its artistry, which shows us that we can often make a strong impression by deliberately reducing some film elements. At the same time, it reminds us of our responsibility towards nature and the indispensable role we have in its preservation.
🏆 3rd award of the expert jury (59th Croatian Children’s Film Festival)
