Synopsis:
In a world of escalators, figures pursue their desire to consume in a given rhythm. One of the figures is sucked in at the end of an escalator and finds itself in a quiet, weightless room, where it joins the playing figures. Meanwhile, the escalator world is thrown into confusion by a chips-mad dog. When the dog is also sucked in by an escalator, a power struggle between the two worlds begins.

UNDER COVER
2023 Adults 6 min
by Darian Bakliža
This graduation work is an animated film based on a short story by Mihovil Rismondo, a colleague from the Academy of Dramatic Art. The theme is bullying, with an accent on the socio-psychological aspect. Set in school days, it is a story about boys who physically demonstrate their misunderstanding of someone who is different and take this behaviour to its limit. With the idea to create an original visuality, different techniques of material preparations have been used, as well as different animation techniques. In terms of genre, the film combines drama and horror, ending in a catharsis.
