FIMFARUM – THIRD TIME “3D“ LUCKY

“The Hat and the Little Jay Feather“ 25´
Director: Vlasta Pospíšilová:
“The story is set in the 1960s, which was the time of my youth, when I was pursuing many of my interests. I used to go to the cinema to watch the “new wave“ movies, to the theatre, to concerts, I did a lot of sports and acted in a puppet theatre. Young directors nowadays like to shoot retro films from the 1960s, but I lived during those times and I’m happy that it will be alluded to in my new movie…

For me, the story of the hat and its precious little feather is a fairy tale about old age and the nostalgic memories of long lost youth. Not everybody manages to go back to their youth even for a brief spell like the King does. But it is also about the modest Jack who is the only one who understands his father the King and wants to help him. He triumphs over his overbearing brothers and fullfills the King’s greatest wish.“
Art director: Petr Poš

“How the Ogres Died out in the Mountains“ 9´
Director: Kristína Dufková:
“The story is transplanted to the 1960s, in similar fashion to the other two Werich stories in the new Fimfarum film. A team of three filmmakers goes on an expedition in the Sumava Mountains to see if it is true that Ogres still live there, and the question is – what will they find?

Setting the story in the 1960s is not typical of Czech animated puppet movies but it creates never ending possibilities in terms of the choice of costumes, hairstyles, and props (a filmcamera, all the other filmmakers tools, the car,…) which will create a comic effect when combined with the classic puppets. Just try to imagine a little puppet dressed in terylene
trousers, sporting a moustache and looking at you through thick-set black rimmed glasses…“
Art director: Denisa Abrhámová

“Reason and Luck“ 40´
Director: David Súkup
“Reason and Luck“ interested me because of the almost grotesque mischief that both the title characters indulge in to play with the fate of the main character Lew. And even though Reason and Luck are competing, in the end they have to combine their efforts to prevail over the Folly and Misfortune that abound all around.“
Art director: Patricie Ortiz Martínez
