48 Hours Puppet Film Challenge

48 hours. No sleep. And the puppets take over. At the FFT, half past selber schuld present the best films from the international 48 hours puppetry film project: Miniaturen am Limit (Miniatures at their limit) – shot, edited and finished within two days. What will this now yield? Everything. Stop motion meets craft excess, grand emotions meet shaky scenery, precise ideas encounter productive insanity. Figures, objects and materials direct – or they slip away from it. Between fast improvisation and surprising exactness, the films show what happens when decisions must be made under heavy time pressure. The audience does not only watch, but they also join in the thinking, the laughs, the doubt. Alex U. Griffin (USA) will open the evening.
