Son!

'Girls should not have opinions. Higher education is useless if you have no husband. If you have a daughter, she will cook you a meal or give you medication. A son will protect you and a daughter will feed you.' Don’t they both deserve to live? The animation touches upon a difficult and hidden subject – sex-selective abortions performed in Montenegro. It employs stereotypical opinions on the two genders, fragments of conversations and singing illustrated with images derived from Balkan tradition. Intertwining scenes of individual stages of human life, from birth to death, emphasize the power of patriarchy, so well-engrained in the system.

The Ocean's Child

The magical, shape-shifting Ocean Child bursts out of the sea to meet two amazed schoolchildren. When the sound of a school bell summons away Ocean Child’s new friends, they curiously follow. In this small fishing village is a gloomy classroom, where the slicing of scissors and the looming shadow of the teacher cause the children to cower in fear. Ocean Child is thrust into a confusing new world where children are divided on whether a bow or a tie is pinned to their shirt. Can Ocean Child keep their playful, free spirit alive?

Quitter le jour

“Quitter le jour” is an old expression used by French miners to designate the act of going down to the mine. Words of great poetry which contrast with a hellish daily life. “Quitter le jour” is an impossible equation, that of renouncing the world of the living to stay alive. Neither the soul nor the body of the character are saved: one, if it has not already vanished at the time of the descent, is carried away by the fever; the other follows, consumed by the depths.
