A short stop-motion film about manipulation and capability of holding onto one´s self-awereness in technoly-driven age told through the tale of fisherman and skeleton.
A story about fisherman, who pulled a skeleton out of the frozen lake. He tries to escape from the skeleton, so he hides in the dark, where he looks for comfort in cheap entertaintment. Yet the reality scratches on the window and fisherman´s hiding place quickly becomes a place full of nightmares. Manipulation, humanity, puppetry - the main themes of this film. The idea for The Fishermen came to my mind about a year ago. I wanted to examine the meaning of stop-motion and connect it with the real world and current issues. Since the topic is quite difficult to explain in silent movie and animation at the same time I have to adapt the visual style to help express the meanings through materials. Natural material are fighting with an objects from plastic. Modern devices are literally eating through vintage furniture and in the middle of it all stays our hero - the fisherman. . |
