A COLLECTION OF MOVING PAINTINGS. Animation as one of the fine arts
This is a temporary exhibition in which you can see a set of paintings in movement. For those who like museums and private collections, here is a selection of works on a wide range of subjects united by an incredible work of handcrafted animation in which the brushstrokes come to life. From classical stories to the world of the internet becoming painting, to inspiring and subversive works that, coming from fine arts, challenge and question the status quo.
These titles will be available on FILMIN
ERLKING
Georges Schwizgebel | Switzerland | 2015 | 6 min.

32-RBIT
Víctor Orozco Ramírez | Germany, Mexico | 2018 | 8 min.
A story about the internet, in which that parallel world mutates into another ghostly world. The oddness of memes and viral videos in paint strokes brings to the forefront the loss of memory, the surveillance and the addiction of these times of permanent connection/disconnection.
HOW LONG, NOT LONG

KRAJOBRAZ (THE LANDSCAPE)
Karolina Glusiec, United Kingdom, Poland, United States, Canada, France, 2013-2020, 4 min.
A film whose images pay homage to the painting and life of Polish artist Andrzej Wróblewski, a shifting journey that moves forward in hypnotic progress.
THE PHYSICS OF SORROW
Theodore Ushev, Bulgaria, Canada, 2019, 27 min.
Canada-based Bulgarian artist Theodore Ushev traces here his idea of home, family and identity by diving into his memory, to create the first film entirely (and masterfully) made with the technique of hot wax painting.
