Cold Home / Zimny dom / Hladni dom

Alicja Liss (Magdalena Abakanowicz University of Fine Arts in Poznań)
2025, Poland, 8’22’’

A ray of sunlight enters a space in which a mother and her daughter freeze in their everyday routine. A portrait of a complex family relationship, where emotions hide between gestures and silence.

Sončni žarek posije v prostor, v katerem sta mati in hči zamrznjeni v svoji vsakodnevni rutini. Hladni dom je portret zapletenega družinskega odnosa, v katerem se čustva skrivajo med kretnjami in tišino.

Alicja Liss

was born in the seaside city of Gdynia in 2000. In 2023, she completed her Bachelor's degree at the University of Arts in Poznań, specializing in puppet animation. She is currently a Master's student at the Animation Department of FAMU in Prague. Animation is a medium that allows her to express thoughts and feelings that are often difficult to convey with words. She enjoys working with her hands, and values animation for its ability to combine different forms of art such as painting, sculpting, and drawing into a single cinematic work.
