AWARD FOR MARTA PAJEK AT THE RUSSIAN FESTIVAL MESSAGE TO MAN
The film "Impossible Figures and Other Stories II" was awarded at the 26th Message to Man.
"Message to Man" is the only international Russian short, documentary and animated film festival which is officially registered by the International Federation of Film Producers Association, with its headquarters in Paris. This year, over 7000 entries were submitted to the festival, and two Polish films were included in the programme.
In the short animated film competition, the award went to the film by Marta Pajek. "Impossible Figures and Other Stories II" is the second part of the triptych based on the idea of impossible figures, that is, figures which can be drawn, but whose existence in reality is impossible. The animated series by the author is a statement on the role of women defined in three dimensions - starting from the most intimate one - such as home and family to the wider social context. The third part of the triptych "Impossible Figures and Other Stories" with the working title "Strip-tease" was given production props from Polish Film Institute. The production starts in autumn. The producer of the triptych by Marta Pajek is the animated film studio Animoon in Warsaw.
Marta Pajek is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, where she completed her studies at Jerzy Kucia's Animated Film Studio. Her films, among others, "Next Door" and "Sleepincord" were shown at numerous festivals in Poland and abroad. Her works were also exhibited in contemporary art galleries.
