ANIM: ‘HORDE’ IN FLORIDA, LISBON AND DRESDEN

The animated film ‘Horde’ by Janina Księska from the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków is enjoying great success at international festivals. Audiences at three major festivals will soon have the chance to see it.

As early as the first half of April, ‘Horde’ will be screened at the Florida Film Festival, which takes place from 10 to 16 April in Maitland. This is one of the most important festivals in the US and is an Oscar-qualifying event.’Horde’ will be shown in the International Animated Short programme.

Shortly afterwards, audiences at FilmFest Dresden, a short film festival held in Germany since 1989, will have the chance to see the animation from Kraków. The film will be presented there as part of the Open Air screenings.

At the end of April, ‘Horde’ will head to Lisbon, where it will compete for one of the prizes in the international competition at Indielisboa, which runs from 30 April to 10 May.

 

about the film:

A crowd of people feel a sudden need to come to a mysterious tower standing in the middle of nowhere. Inside, they are unable to stop moving and dancing, and without even realizing it, they perform a ritual arranged by the creature spinning at the top of the tower. Through the resulting commotion, a disoriented, indifferent, unaffected person who found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time walks through.

‘Horde’  had its international premiere at the 45th ANIMA Brussels International Animation Film Festival in Belgium earlier this year.
The film was produced by the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków.
