Afterwards, she will examine why the extra short films and animation go well together and why it is interesting to work in this format and how a strange surreal humor feeds her work.

The topic of this lecture is to provoke the audience into being more sensitive to their everyday surroundings and to take note of precious material for their work (in any form) in small, rarely noticed phenomena, situations, objects, and movements. Ideas are not far from us. We often just need to change the angle from which we are looking at apparently mundane things. In addition, I will suggest a few games that could become ways of turning the slow and sometimes overwhelming process of animation (frame by frame by frame after one more frame…) into something more playful, even adventurous.
