Cut-Out Animation

by Jonas Odell

In Never like the first time! four different people tell us, in their own words, what it was like to lose their virginity. The diverse experiences recounted in the four different animated stories, some tragic and some comic, are told by both the teenagers and the old people that appear in the stories and they all have one thing in common – it is ”never like the first time!” The people behind the voices remain anonymous and they explain sincerely how significant losing their virginity was to them.

Musical Traumas came to fruition as the result of the director’s obsession with music schools. It is a rhythmic compilation of traumatic, but amusing confessions of former students, as well as an attempt to visualise music with scrumptious, hand-drawn animation. The experiences may be documentary, but the image comes straight from the world of musical impressions.

“Born in Belgium to a Hungarian mother and an English father, four-year-old Milla’s story is anything but usual. She is the epitome of modern, intercultural Europe as we know it. Based on Kriszta D. Tóth’s children’s book series, Milla&Mama, designs by the IBBY award winning illustrator Alexandra Faltisz. The stories are told by young Milla herself, using the enchanting language of kindergarten, spiced up by the fact that she is 100 percent bilingual, articulating her view on the world in both Hungarian and English. Animation supervision by AlbenaPetrova.”
