CREATURES
POLISH TITLE: KREATURY
REPRESENTED BY KFF
A grotesque love story about Harold and Matylda, two caricatures of people, trying to face social ostracism. They uptake a quest to manipulate their obscene image to the better. The rough form of cut-out animation inspired by the works of Roald Dahl, Lotte Reiniger and Edward Gorey brings us into a unpredictable and eclectic world of dark imagination, finally asking the question: who in fact are the Creatures?
