Saka sy Vorona - Cat and Bird (Animationsfilm/animated short)

Ein weißer Vogel, der in einer schwarzen Welt lebt, begegnet einer schwarzen Katze, die in einer weißen Welt lebt. In dem Moment, in dem sie aufeinandertreffen, kollidieren ihre Welten buchstäblich. Ein animierter Kinderfilm für die ganze Familie.

Statement of the selection committee of Providence Children’s Film Festival:
"A shining example of how something simple can convey volumes. The cut-out style is animation in its most basic form with simple shapes, no detail, and no color, yet the expressiveness and emotion the filmmaker/animator manages to convey through these simple building blocks is magical - the twitching of the cat's ears, the changes in the eyes, etc. paired with brilliant sound design.
The film's message (about friendship, differences, opposites colliding) is both explicit and nuanced enough to be open to many readings. The themes and visuals are universal in their appeal (whether you're a 3-year old or a grown-up). It would be wonderful to discuss this film in a forum setting to see how different viewers interpreted this film and what elements stood out and why. How do the themes in this film show up in real life situations (personal and public)? The visual shift to the organic, water-blotch shapes in the background at the end is a wonderful metaphor for how the meeting of opposites can be both beautiful and messy/unpredictable (and that there is beauty in the messiness)."
