Νιώθω πως αυτή η γιορταστική επέτειος σηματοδοτεί την αρχή μιας νέας εποχής για την
Κυπριακή παραγωγή animation. Το φετινό Κυπριακό διαγωνιστικό πρόγραμμα είναι το πιο
ώριμο που είχαμε ποτέ. Συμπεριλαμβάνει διεθνείς συμπαραγωγές και μια παραγωγή της
Συμβουλευτικής Επιτροπής Κινηματογράφου (Σ.Ε.ΚΙΝ). Επιπλέον, δύο ταινίες Κύπριων
δημιουργών συμμετέχουν ταυτόχρονα και στο διεθνές διαγωνιστικό πρόγραμμα, ενώ μια
Κυπριακή ταινία συμμετέχει στο διεθνές πανόραμα παιδικών ταινιών. Κι ακόμα, νεαροί
Κύπριοι καλλιτέχνες, που έλαβαν μέρος σε προηγούμενες διοργανώσεις, επιστρέφουν με
ωριμότερα έργα, ενώ πρωτοεμφανιζόμενοι δημιουργοί, που έλαβαν μέρος στο Animafest
ως εθελοντές ή παρακολουθώντας εργαστήρια, κάνουν το ντεμπούτο τους στο εθνικό
διαγωνιστικό πρόγραμμα. Αυτή είναι η μεγαλύτερη επιβράβευση για μας, γιατί πάντα είχαμε
την ανάπτυξη της Κυπριακής παραγωγής ως προτεραιότητα.

Το διεθνές διαγωνιστικό πρόγραμμα αποτελείται και φέτος από μια επιλογή ταινιών
διακεκριμένων καλλιτεχνών παγκοσμίως, που συνεχίζουν να μας γοητεύουν με την τεχνική
και την ευαισθησία τους. Το διεθνές πρόγραμμα είναι για ακόμα μια φορά ποικιλόμορφο
και πολύ επιλεκτικό, ενώ παρατηρούμε ότι, παρόλα τα τεχνολογικά επιτεύγματα της εποχής
μας, στο χώρο του ανεξάρτητου animation αυξάνονται οι καλλιτέχνες που αξιοποιούν τις
παραδοσιακές τεχνικές, όπως για παράδειγμα ζωγραφική σε γυαλί, κινούμενο σχέδιο, stop
motion animation κλπ.
Μεταξύ άλλων θα προβληθούν ταινίες των Koji Yamamura, Phil Mulloy, Igor Kovalyov,
Georges Schwizgebel, Vladimir Leschiov, Riho Unt, David Jansen, Lei Lei, Cordell Barker,
Reka Bucsi, Steve Socki, Janice Nadeau κ.α.
Μέσω της επαφής με τη δουλειά καλλιτεχνών τέτοιας εμβέλειας ενδυναμώνεται
και καλλιεργείται ο τομέας του animation στον τόπο μας. Μαζί με τα εργαστήρια, τα
αφιερώματα και τα masterclasses, το διεθνές διαγωνιστικό πρόγραμμα είναι το σχολείο στο
οποίο βασίζεται και η δική μας ανάπτυξη στην Κύπρο.
Ευχαριστούμε λοιπόν όλους τους διεθνείς καλλιτέχνες που συμμετέχουν στο φεστιβάλ με
τις ταινίες τους ή μέσα από εκπαιδευτικές δράσεις, στηρίζοντας έτσι την αποστολή του.
Οι παράλληλες εκδηλώσεις φέτος περιλαμβάνουν εργαστήρι υπό την καθοδήγηση των
καλλιτεχνών Thomas Renoldner και Federica Pagnucco με θέμα «Χαρακτική και το
Animation» στο Μουσείον Χαρακτικής Χαμπή στα Πλατανίστεια (18-20 Ιουλίου), έκθεση
βασισμένη στην ταινία τους «L’ alfabeto delle cose piccole» καθώς και ημερίδα / Animation Forum σε συνεργασία με το πρόγραμμα Creative Europe Desk Cyprus, το Τεχνολογικό
Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου και το Πανεπιστήμιο Λευκωσίας (Παρασκευή 22 Ιουλίου, ΤΕ.ΠΑ.Κ.),
η οποία θα περιλαμβάνει και παρουσίαση του αναπτυξιακού έργου του The Animation Workshop της Δανίας. Από τις 21 μέχρι τις 23 Ιουλίου, στον εσωτερικό χώρο της
Μεσαιωνικής Αγρέπαυλης καθ’ όλη τη διάρκεια της ημέρας το κοινό θα έχει την ευκαιρία
να παρακολουθήσει αφιερώματα στη δουλειά των καλλιτεχνών Theodore Ushev και Kaspar
Jancis.
Έχουμε επίσης την τιμή και τη χαρά να φιλοξενούμε έκθεση με τις αφίσες του Theodor
Ushev, στη Μεσαιωνική Αγρέπαυλη μεσα στον Αρχαιολογικό χώρο της Παλιπάφου στα
Κουκλια, κατά τη διάρκεια του φεστιβάλ. O Ushev, διεθνώς διακεκριμένος καλλιτέχνης
της αφίσας και του animation και γνωστός στο Κυπριακό φεστιβάλ τα τελευταία χρόνια,
φιλοτέχνησε επίσης τη φετινή αφίσα μας.
Το παιδικό πανόραμα ταινιών προβάλλεται στις 19 Ιουλίου στον πολιτιστικό χώρο
Τεχνόπολις 20 στην Πάφο.
Το Φεστιβάλ θα κλείσει το Σάββατο 23 Ιουλίου με την τελετή βράβευσης και ακολούθως
με μια συναυλία από το αγαπημένο Κυπριακό μουσικό σχήμα Sandy Brour. Οι Sandy Brour
ιδρύθηκαν το 2012 και το 2016 κυκλοφόρησαν τον πρώτο τους δίσκο. Τους ευχόμαστε να
είναι καλοτάξιδος και τους ευχαριστούμε που είναι μαζί μας φέτος, για να κλείσουν με τον
καλύτερο τρόπο αυτό το μαγικό τριήμερο!
Θα ήθελα να εκφράσω τις θερμές μας ευχαριστίες στους χορηγούς μας για τη σταθερή
τους στήριξη: Τις Πολιτιστικές Υπηρεσίες του Υπουργείου Παιδείας και Πολιτισμού, που

προσβλέπουμε σε μία μακροχρόνια συνεργασία. Ευχαριστούμε επίσης το Creative Europe
Desk Κύπρου για τη συνδιοργάνωση των διαλέξεων και παρουσιάσεων.
Για άλλη μια φορά ευχαριστούμε τους εθελοντές μας που συμβάλλουν καθοριστικά στην
επιτυχία της διοργάνωσης.
Καλωσορίζουμε και ευχαριστούμε ιδιαίτερα τη διεθνή κριτική επιτροπή, Kaspar Jancis,
Theodore Ushev και Γιώργο Σαββινίδη.
Τέλος, ένα μεγάλο ευχαριστώ στο κοινό που εδώ και 15 χρόνια μας στηρίζει και έχει
αγκαλιάσει την τέχνη του animation.
Καλό φεστιβάλ σε όλους!

Καλλιτεχνικός Διευθυντής
This year we celebrate the 15th edition of Countryside Animafest Cyprus! For fifteen years
the festival has maintained a dynamic presence in our country’s cultural scene.
I feel that this joyful anniversary marks a turning point for Cypriot animation production.
This year’s National competition programme is the most advanced and artistically mature
we have ever had. It includes international co-productions, and one production by the
Cyprus Cinema Advisory Board. Furthermore, two films by Cypriot artists take part in the
international competition section, while one Cypriot film is included in the international
panorama of children’s films. Young Cypriot artists, who participated in the competition
in previous years, are returning with more mature work, while some, who in the past had
attended workshops or participated as festival volunteers, are making their debut in the
national competition section. This is the greatest reward for us, since we’ve always kept
the development of Cypriot animation production high up on the festival’s priorities.
This year the participants in the National Competition Section are: Constantinos Terlikkas
(with a co-production with Hungary and Romania, also participating in the international
competition), Alexis Chaviaras (Co-production with Cyprus Cinema Advisory Board, participating also at the Children’s film Panorama) Rhea Lazarides, Christina Karekla, Sholeh
Zahraei, Constantinos Sophocleous, Maria Nicolaou, Constantinos Georgiou, Dino Syrimis, Charalambos Margaritis, Savvas Theodosiou, Georgia Nicolaou, Eleni Chandriotou,
Cosmas Nonis, Periclis Georgiou, Charis Christodoulides and Stephanos Chrysanthou.
At the same time, the students of the Cyprus Technological University Georgia Nicolaou,
Irini Pantela, Iraclis Ioannou, Kalia Pavlou, Michalis Constantinou, Myria Adamou, Nicoletta
Kyriakou, Pamela Andreou, Fanouria Panayiotou and Philippos Athinodorou, will participate in the festival with an interactive installation entitled “Hope with-in”.
The exciting selection of films in the international competition will be a feast for the senses,
and will include work by several internationally acclaimed artists, who continue to enchant
with their technique and emotional depth. In curating this year’s diverse and highly selective programme we observed that, despite our era’s technological advances, an increasing
number of independent artists are using traditional animation techniques, such as painting
on glass, drawn animation, stop motion animation etc.
Among other artists, this year we will screen films by Koji Yamamura, Phil Mulloy, Igor Kovalyov, Georges Schwizgebel, Vladimir Leschiov, Riho Unt, David Jansen, Lei Lei, Cordell
Barker, Reka Bucsi, Steve Socki and Janice Nadeau.
One of our core beliefs is that the field of animation in Cyprus is enriched and cultivated
through contact with the work of international artists of such caliber. Along with workshops, tributes and masterclasses, the international competition section is an educational
tool for Cypriot animators.
So we’d like to thank all the international artists who are participating in the festival, either
in this year’s competition program or with educational side-bar events, thus supporting its
mission.
Side-bar events this year include a workshop by artists Thomas Renoldner and Federica
Pagnucco entitled “PrintmakingAnimation”, at the Hambis Printmaking Museum, Platanistia (July 18-23), as well as an exhibition based on their film «L’ alfabeto delle cose piccole»;
a Day conference /Animation Forum in collaboration with Creative Europe Desk Cyprus,
the Cyprus Technological University and the University of Nicosia, with keynote speakers
Morten Thorning and Lana Tankosa Nikolic from the Danish animation school The Animation Workshop; from the 21st to the 23rd July during the day the audience will be able to
watch tributes to the work of Theodore Ushev and Kaspar Jancis, screened indoors in the
Manor House at Kouklia.
We are also proud to host an exhibition of posters by Theodore Ushev, in the Medieval
Manor house, for the duration of the festival. Ushev, an internationally acclaimed director,
animator and poster artist, well known to the Cypriot public from previous festival editions,
has also created this year’s festival poster.
The festival will close on Saturday July 23rd with the award ceremony, followed by a concert by one of our most beloved Cypriot bands, Sandy Brour. Sandy Brour were formed
in 2012 and in 2016 their first album came out. We wish them the best of luck with their
album debut and we thank them for being with us this year, to bring these magical three
days to a close.
I would like to express our warmest thanks to our sponsors for their unwavering support:
the Cultural Services of the Ministry of Education and Culture, who have supported us for
fifteen years, the Department of Antiquities, for allowing us the use of the Palaepaphos
archaeological site free of charge, the Cyprus Youth Board, the University of Nicosia, the
Cyprus Technological University, and the Austrian Embassy in Cyprus.
This year the awards are sponsored by the Bank of Cyprus. We thank them and we look
forward to a long-term collaboration. We would also like to thank Creative Europe Desk
Cyprus for co-organizing the lectures and presentations. I would also like to thank our
volunteers whose contribution is invaluable.
I would like to welcome and thank our international jury, Kaspar Jancis, Theodore Ushev
and Yiorgos Savvinides.
Finally, a big thanks to our audience, who have supported the festival for 15 years, embracing the art of animation.
Have a wonderful festival!

notebooks. This was followed by a period as a
working youth, which was not particularly educational, but was brimming with adventures.
During that time he began working consistently with music. He has been part of the

song lyrics, made arrangements and created
tunes. In 1997 he began to study animation

Kaspar Jancis

Piano, 2015
The films of Estonian animator Kaspar Jancis
are understated, absurdist, comic-melodramas
featuring misguided characters struggling to
connect with their fellow humans. Their tragedy
is that they fear genuine, intimate connection
yet desperately crave it.
In the Hitchcock- influenced, Weitzenberg
Street (2002), the man performs an assortment of inane magic tricks to get his lover’s
attention. Bored, she finds erotic solace in the
touch of a mosquito. Touch is all she craves,
not tricks.
We see it again at the end of Marathon (2006),
when a flirting, deceitful mother, having forgotten her daughter, races to a playground to find
her. As they make eye contact and wave, a
train passes between them and leads into the
end credits.
In the Cartoon d’or winning, Crocodile (2009),
a one time Opera star turned boozy, crocodilecostumed kid’s entertainer would rather suffer
and remain alone than accept an imperfect
love.
Jancis’ most recent film, Piano (2015) is arguably the only time we get some semblance of a
happy ending when the gaggle of disconnected and lonely characters briefly rise above their
self-induced miseries when a piano begins
playing. For one brief moment, the characters
are aware and truly alive. In unison they gently
smile and quietly emit unfiltered, harmonic joy.
In a world suffocating from facile distractions,
perhaps these fleeting, momentary connections are the best we can hope for.
If so, that truly is tragic.
Morten on the Ship of Fools, 2016 (working title)
Οι ταινίες του Kaspar Jancis είναι ελαφρώς
αποστασιοποιημένα κωμικο-μελοδράματα
με στοιχεία παραλόγου. Οι μπερδεμένοι
χαρακτήρες του παλεύουν να δημιουργήσουν
δεσμούς με τους συνανθρώπους τους. Η
τραγωδία τους έγκειται στο ότι φοβούνται την
ουσιαστική, βαθειά σύνδεση, ενώ ταυτόχρονα
την ποθούν απελπισμένα.
Στην εμπνευσμένη από το Χίτσκοκ ταινία
Weitzenberg Street (2002), ο άντρας κάνει
διάφορα ανιαρά ταχυδακτυλουργικά κόλπα
για να τον προσέξει η αγαπημένη του. Αυτή,
βαριεστημένη, βρίσκει ερωτική παρηγοριά στο
άγγιγμα ενός κουνουπιού: αυτό που λαχταρά
πραγματικά είναι η σωματική επαφή, κι όχι τα
μαγικά κόλπα.
Το ίδιο μοτίβο βλέπουμε στο τέλος της ταινίας
Marathon (2006), όταν μια άπιστη μητέρα που
έχει το νου της στο φλερτ, έχοντας ξεχάσει
την κόρη της στην παιδική χαρά τρέχει για να
τη βρει. Καθώς βλέπουν η μια την άλλη και
χαιρετιούνται από μακριά, ένα τρένο περνάει
ανάμεσά τους, οδηγώντας μας στους τίτλους
τέλους.
Στην ταινία Crocodile (2008), που βραβεύθηκε
με Cartoon d’or, ένας αλκοολικός ξεπεσμένος
σταρ της Όπερας, που δουλεύει ως
διασκεδαστής παιδιών με στολή κροκόδειλου,
προτιμά να υποφέρει και να μείνει μόνος,
παρά να δεχτεί μια ερωτική σύντροφο με
ελαττώματα.
Η τελευταία ταινία του Jancis, Piano (2015),
είναι ίσως η μόνη που καταλήγει σε κάποιου
είδους happy end: οι αποξενωμένοι και
μοναχικοί χαρακτήρες του για μια στιγμή
ξεπερνούν τη μιζέρια που προκάλεσαν οι
ίδιοι στον εαυτό τους όταν ένα πιάνο αρχίζει
να παίζει. Για μια φευγαλέα στιγμή, οι
χαρακτήρες αντιλαμβάνονται τον κόσμο γύρω
τους και είναι πραγματικά ζωντανοί. Όλοι μαζί
χαμογελούν απαλά και σιγανά εκπέμπουν σε
αρμονία την ειλικρινή χαρά τους.
Σε ένα κόσμο που ασφυκτιά λόγω της
πληθώρας ανούσιων περισπασμών, ίσως
αυτές οι εφήμερες, στιγμιαίες συναντήσεις
είναι το καλύτερο που μπορούμε να ελπίζουμε.
Αν είναι έτσι, τότε η ζωή μας είναι πραγματικά
τραγική.

Theodore Ushev
Μεσαιωνική Αγρέπαυλη, Παλαίπαφος - Κούκλια
Ancient Site of Palaepaphos - Κouklia
Παρόλες τις τεχνολογικές εξελίξεις που
επιτρέπουν στους καλλιτέχνες να δημιουργούν
το ίδιο αποτελεσματικά αλλά πολύ πιο
γρήγορα απ’ ό,τι πριν δέκα χρόνια, πολλοί
animators εξακολουθούν να παίρνουν το
χρόνο τους, καμιά φορά μέχρι και δεκαετία!
για να φτιάξουν μια ταινία. Είναι δύσκολο να
παραμένεις επίκαιρος όταν δουλεύεις με τόσο
αργό ρυθμό, κι αυτό πιθανόν να έχει οδηγήσει
σε ένα από τα μειονεκτήματα της τέχνης του
animation: συχνά του λείπει η αμεσότητα και η
σχέση με το κοινωνικό πλαίσιο, με το τώρα.
Γιατί τόση βραδύτητα; Η κοινότητα του
animation είναι γεμάτη από φορμαλιστές
που έχουν τέτοια εμμονή με την τεχνική
ώστε το εννοιολογικό περιεχόμενο του
έργου να καταντά δευτερεύουσας σημασίας,
σχεδόν μια «κακή» λέξη. Το αποτέλεσμα
είναι εξεζητημένα, τεχνικά άψογα έργα που
βασίζονται στο όμορφο οπτικό αποτέλεσμα,
χωρίς όμως να έχουν κάτι να πουν για τον
κόσμο γύρω τους.
Η προσέγγιση του Ushev στο animation είναι
ωμή, χαοτική, ακατέργαστη: δεν υπάρχει
τίποτα υπερβολικά τέλειο ή ραφιναρισμένο
στη μεθοδολογία του. Οι ταινίες του, που
μερικές φορές ολοκληρώνονται μέσα σε λίγες
βδομάδες, στόχο έχουν να εξαπολύσουν
το δικό του χάος και το δικό μας. Αυτή η
σπάνια και τραχιά ειλικρίνεια είναι αυτό που
ξεχωρίζει τον Ushev από κάποιους από
τους συναδέλφους του, που πολύ συχνά
προσεγγίζουν το animation σαν να επρόκειτο
για ένα εύθραυστο γυάλινο ζωάκι της Λώρα
Γουίγκφηλντ από το Γυάλινο Κόσμο.
Οι ταινίες του Ushev είναι μια βρωμερή
πνοή ανανέωσης και ένα αναγκαίο χαστούκι
πραγματικότητας σε ένα τομέα όπου
κυριαρχούν έργα με φτηνό συναισθηματισμό
γεμάτα τεχνολογικά πυροτεχνήματα.
Theodore Ushev is a freewheeling animation
artist with an almost feverish compulsion to
create as fast and as often as he wants to.
Fast and prolific are generally not the way
things are supposed to be done in animation.
Despite technological advancements that now
enable animators to create quicker and just as
effectively as they could ten years ago, a good
many animators still like to take their sweet
ol’ time sometimes as long as 10 years! when
creating their films. Working at such a slow
pace can make it difficult for animators to craft
relevant art that speaks to the moment and
has, arguably, led to one of the drawbacks of
animation: the genre often lacks urgency and
immediacy.
Why so slow? Animation is littered with formalists so fixated on technique and craft that
“concept” is virtually an afterthought, a dirty
word. The result is precious, polished works
that look nice can have very little to say about
the surrounding world.
Ushev’s handling of animation is raw, rough
and chaotic; there’s nothing polished,
pristine or precious about his methods. His
films, some made in mere weeks, seek to
unpack the chaos of his moment—and ours.
It’s this rare and raw honesty that separates
Ushev from some of his animation peers who
too often treat animation like one of Laura
Wingfield’s glass figurines from The Glass
Menagerie.
Ushev’s films are a refreshing bad breath
and a sorely needed slap of reality in a field
dominated by works of faux angst and technological gumdrops.
Chris Robinson
The Man Who Waited, 2006 / Poster by Theodore Ushev
Ο Theodor Ushev είναι ένας καλλιτέχνης
του animation με ελεύθερο πνεύμα και μια
πυρετώδη ανάγκη να δημιουργεί όσο γρήγορα
και όσο συχνά θέλει. Όμως η παραγωγή στο
animation δεν χαρακτηρίζεται συνήθως από
ταχύτητα και πληθώρα.

SUBFRAME ANIMATION
ΜΙΑ ΨΗΦΙΑΚΉ ΠΕΙΡΑΜΑΤΙΚΉ
ΠΡΟΣΈΓΓΙΣΗ ΤΗΣ ΚΑΡΈ-ΚΑΡΈ ΔΙΑΔΙΚΑΣΊΑΣ
A DIGITAL EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH
OF THE FRAME BY FRAME PROCESS
ΝΙΚΟΣ ΣΥΝΝΟΣ / NICOS SYNNOS
Μήπως η ψηφιακή τεχνολογία έχει τυποποιήσει
την παραγωγή animation, ή άραγε ο animator
έχει πιο ευέλικτα εργαλεία στα χέρια του όσο
ποτέ πριν; Η παρουσίαση θα επικεντρωθεί σε
πειράματα που αποτελούν μέρος μελέτης της
ψηφιακής καρέ - καρέ διαδικασίας παραγωγής
animation. Εξερευνώντας τον ψηφιακό χώρο
ως ένα αχανές μεταφυσικό πεδίο, η έρευνα έχει
ως στόχο να ανακαλύψει τρόπους παραγωγής
οπτικών ψευδαισθήσεων της κίνησης που θα
προτείνουν νέα κινηματογραφικά είδη προβολής
ενσωματωμένα σε μεμονωμένες μονάδες της
ταινίας. Θα παρουσιαστούν πειράματα στη
συναρμολόγηση του φιλμικού χρόνου αλλά και
του κινηματογραφικού καρέ, όπως επίσης και
παραδείγματα της εφαρμογής των πειραμάτων
αυτών σε φιλμ και βίντεο.
Has digital technology standardized animation
filmmaking, or does the animator have more flexible tools in his/her hands than ever before?
This presentation will focus on experiments as
part of a study of the digital frame by frame animation process. By exploring the digital space
as a vast metaphysical field, this research aims
to discover ways of producing optical illusions of
motion that will suggest new cinematic viewing
integrated in the very individual units of film.
Experiments on the compositing of the filmic
time and the film frame will be presented, as well
as examples of the application of these experiments in film and video.
MORTEN ON THE SHIP OF FOOLS
KASPAR JANCIS
Ο Μόρτεν στο πλοίο των τρελών (Morten on
the Ship of Fools) είναι μια ταινία stop motion από Εσθονούς, Ιρλανδούς και Βέλγους
δημιουργούς, βασισμένη στο ομώνυμο βιβλίο
και θεατρικό έργο του Kaspar Jancis. Κεντρικός
ήρωας είναι ο οχτάχρονος Μόρτεν, ο οποίος
παίρνει το μέγεθος εντόμου από το ξόρκι
κάποιου αδέξιου μάγου. Έτσι παγιδεύεται πάνω
στην ψεύτικη βαρκούλα του. Εκεί όμως πρέπει
να αντιμετωπίσει κάποια τρομακτικά έντομα τα
οποία έχουν καταλάβει το πλοίο του. Η ταινία
δημιουργήθηκε με την κλασική τεχνική stop motion και απευθύνεται σε παιδιά όλων των ηλικιών!
Το μεταφορικό της περιεχόμενο την κάνει
κατάλληλη και για ενήλικες. Είναι μια περιπέτεια
δοσμένη με παραδοσιακό τρόπο, ένα homage σε αγαπημένες ιστορίες όπως Η Αλίκη στη
Χώρα των Θαυμάτων, ο Τζέημς και το τεράστιο
ροδάκινο, ο Μάγος του Οζ, κλπ.
Morten on the Ship of Fools is a stop motion
feature made by Estonian, Irish and Belgian
animators. It’s based on the book and theatre
play by Kaspar Jancis. The film is about Morten
who, after being magically shrunken to the size
of an insect, gets trapped on his toy boat. There
he has to prove himself to cannibalistic insects
who have control over his ship. The film is made
in classical stop motion technique. It will be a
story for children of all ages! Its metaphorical
content can speak to an adult audience. It is an
adventure film told in the old-school way, a homage to stories like Alice in Wonderland, James
and the Giant peach, Wizard Oz etc.
MAGIC MOLLY
ΜΑΡΙΑ ΠΑΥΛΟΥ / MARIA PAVLOU
Το “Magic Molly” είναι μια τηλεοπτική σειρά
animation 26 X 7 λεπτά για παιδιά προσχολικής
ηλικίας (προ-δημοτικής). Διηγείται τις περιπέτειες
μια νεαρής μαθητευόμενης μάγισσας και
των δυο φίλων της, του δράκου Vigor και
της κουκουβάγιας Sophia. Χρησιμοποιώντας
καθημερινά αντικείμενα με μαγικό τρόπο,
ψάχνουν για απαντήσεις που βοηθούν το νεαρό
ακροατήριο να κατανοήσει συναισθήματα, να
εξασκήσει τη φαντασία του και να αναπτύξει την
επιθυμία για γνώση. Το project βρίσκεται σε προαναπτυξιακή φάση και πρόκειται να υποβληθεί
για χρηματοδότηση από το Creative Europe
(Development Fund).
“Magic Molly” is a 26 x 7 minute animated TV
series for upper preschool (preschool plus). It
follows the adventures of a young apprentice
witch and her two friends, Vigor the dragon and
Sophia the owl. Through the use of everyday
objects with a magical twist, they search for answers that help our young audience understand
emotions, exercise their imagination and develop
a thirst for knowledge. The project is in its predevelopment phase and will soon be submitted
for a Creative Europe development fund.

A dog named Popi and a

day the master is just not
coming back any more...
From this particular day
there starts their mutual
life. Popi, even though he
is actually smarter and
stronger, succumbs to
monkey’s whims. Popi is
a symbol of obedience
and subservience. On
the other hand, Huhuu
symbolises licentiousness
and silliness. This is an allegory, more phantasmal
than a dream and more
dreadful than truth. Based

It is in black and white
and we should specify
that it is an animated film.
Frankly, there is nothing much one can say
about it.

Synopsis
The eyes say what the mouth
does not. After researching,
thinking and experimenting,
I created this short animation
trying to understand the
fundamentals of visual perception. We have a journey
to make in order to create
our own perception of the
world around us and then to
discover the world within us.
The eye, which represents
everyone’s eyes, unconsciously or consciously
chooses what to save from
the journey and with whom
to interact. There is a whole
universe hidden behind our
eyes...

Fine Arts Department of the
University of Nicosia. Her

Synopsis
In a planet of free will,
dominated by war and
hatred, the source of all
that exist is incarnated in
a person called Serafim.
His purpose is to help the
people achieve the highest
of their abilities, in order to
stop the never ending war.
He explains the reason for
his arrival while telling the
story of the creation of all
that is. He states that the
origin of light and darkness
is the same. Both created
from the divine to coexist,
and maybe the reason
for their existence is not
to fight each other, but to
work together.

Synopsis
This short animation
follows a frog as it jumps
around on a lake and lands
on water lily leaves until it
suddenly lands on a plastic
water bottle and it sinks
with it on top. This animation focuses mainly on the
visual experimentation with

environmental message at
the end: people should not
litter nature.

Synopsis
Cluster is a short animated
film about the life of a
young adult suffering from
cluster headaches. He
struggles not only with his
pain but also with loneliness
and depression. This also
illustrates the isolated life
and detached being of an
individual with a serious
problem. The problem
is defined and judged
by a world that does not
understand, and labelled
as ‘a headache’. It shows
how the demon cluster has
taken everything he loves
away and stripped him of
his desire to live. Finally, he
confronts the demon the
only way he feels he can.

Synopsis
This artistic animated film
attempts to reveal the concepts related to the totalitarian and autocratic methods
of Europe elite classes that
strive to unite Europe under
one authority for the benefit
of the economic purposes
of bankers, stock-markets

semiotics of the film guide
the viewer to consciously
or subconsciously create
connections between the
E.E (European Union) with
the Nazis that carried out the
same idea of an inhumane
United Europe.
