A mysterious disease sweeps through the bird population and practically everything goes to hell. Planes crash, cities burn and the TV stops broadcasting. Hundreds of characters succumb to the “bird plague”, faster for everyone to really react. A lot of different situations happen one after another going quicker and quicker. We pass a dentist, a children’s birthday party, a football match. Everybody seems to be oblivious to what’s happening until it actually happens to themselves.

It is rotating on his head as a mask and constantly showing its other side. The author suffices with gentle pencil strokes and three colours to create a very original work within three minutes of running time.

Birds are flying. The Birds a garden. The garden inside. Inside a man. The man through the center. Coming through the center. A house coming. The house closed. Closed heavily. Raining heavily. The house is raining. The house a storm. The storm a shadow. The shadow a shadow. The shadow out. The garden out. The garden is flowing away. It is flowing silently. Silently open. The open house. The house is leaving. Leaving through the center. The man through the center. The man out. The garden out. The garden the birds. The birds are flying. The BA film of Ondřej Dolejší captures the advent of a storm, and gradually develops the atmosphere, employing minimalistic yet powerful devices.

It is believed that art can touch upon things that are invisible or unspoken, engage a wide range of people in dialogue by analysing different experiences. One of such perspectives is represented by the artists with Down Syndrome, such as the Atelier Normalno community members. For some of them, video became a tool of emancipation. They use the aesthetics of advertising, television and cinema to create moving images art that is a sharp reaction to everyday topics. During the discussion, artist and co-curator of the Atelier Normalno Stanislav Turina and cinema historian and director Stanislav Menzelevskyi will reflect on how artists with disabilities convey modernity, what characters and issues they choose to convey their feelings, how inclusion can be present in culture and the role that video as an artistic instrument plays in it.

This session introduces the Young Audience Rating System, a practical tool that connects the developmental characteristics of each age group, from toddlers to late adolescents, with the elements that shape an animated film: story, characters, emotions, visual language and humour. Media psychologist Martina Peštaj explains how attention, emotional understanding, moral reasoning and the sense of humour change with age, and what this means in practice. Aimed at creators, producers, distributors, broadcasters and festival programmers working with young viewers. The Young Audience Rating System was developed within the project Animation HUB.
