Teclopolis / Teclópolis
Javier Mrad (Can Can Club)
2009, Argentina, 11’42”
Once upon a time… Old magazines gently dance in the wind. A super-8 camera crawls over a wooden table while an old carpet flows in and out. Suddenly, a mouse and then a whole civilization running towards its inevitable destiny, while a super-8 camera searches for a lost Love.
Nekoč ... Stare revije nežno plešejo v vetru. Kamera super 8 se plazi po leseni mizi, stara preproga pa se preliva sem in tja. Nenadoma se pojavi miška, nato pa še cela civilizacija, ki drvi naproti svoji neizbežni usodi, medtem ko kamera super 8 išče izgubljeno Ljubezen.
