Bøndene
Polen på slutten av 1800-tallet. Den unge Jagna bor i den lille landsbyen Lipce på landsbygda. Et sted preget av tradisjonelle patriarkalske strukturer, sladder og intriger. Ikke et lett sted å være for en ung kvinne som er fast bestemt på å forme sin egen skjebne. Vi følger også innbyggerne gjennom årstidenes skiften, hverdagsliv og festligheter. Fra vårsåing, gjennom sommer, høst og vinter. I tillegg til et innblikk i bondesamfunnet med dets håndverk og ritualer, kretser historien rundt Jagnas kamp mot et arrangert ekteskap med landsbyens rikeste mann, den mye eldre Maciej.

Bøndene
Fra skaperne av den Oscar-nominerte LOVING VINCENT. I en polsk landsby sent på 1800-tallet ønsker bygdas rikeste bonde, Maciej, å gifte seg med den vakre, unge Jagna. Hun har imidlertid et godt øye til Maciejs sønn, Antek. Jagna ønsker å leve livet på sine egne premisser, noe som skaper misnøye blant befolkningen på landsbygda, hvor sladder florerer og patriarkalske verdier står sterkt. Hva får du når du kombinerer nobelprisvinnende litteratur og over 200 000 arbeidstimer med oljemaling fra over 100 kunstnere i Polen, Ukraina, Litauen og Serbia? Svaret er den visuelt slående animasjonsfilmen Bøndene. Filmen er laget av regissørene bak den Oscar- og Golden Globe nominerte Loving Vincent (2017) og er basert på Władysław Reymonts roman med samme navn. Filmen tar oss gjennom fire årstider og Jagnas brutale møte med bygdedyret etter hvert som stadig flere av bygdas innbyggere vender seg mot henne.

Loving Vincent
Det er den 29. juli 1890, og en skadet mann kommer haltende ned langs den lille franske byen Auvres. Han holder hendene over et ferskt skuddsår på magen. Mannen er Vincent Van Gogh - på den tiden er han ukjent for verden, men i dag kjent som en av tidenes største kunstnere. Hans tragiske død er omgitt av mystikk og spekulasjoner. Hvem var det egentlig som skjøt? "Loving Vincent" fanger på unikt vis Vincent Van Goghs kunstnerskap, liv og død ved å gi en stemme til hans brev og nytt liv til karakterene i maleriene hans.

The Chopin Shorts: Mixing Worlds Collection
The Chopin Shorts is a collection of animations made by award winning directors, produced to accompany the Puppet Animation film The Magic Piano. All the Chopin Shorts are set to a Chopin etude performed by Chinese Pianist Lang Lang. Each short is set to one of Chopin’s etudes. Mixing Worlds Collection consists of: "Paper Piano" (set to Opus 25. No. 7), which tells the tale of a young Venezuelan girl, who negotiates the urban jungle of Caracas every week to be part of the ground breaking Youth Orchestra movement “El Sistema” where kids, often from impoverished backgrounds, begin by learning music on paper instruments which they construct themselves. "Lexdysia" (set to Opus 25. No. 6) inventively combines live action and different forms of animation. A boy with dyslexia is struggling to read; the words contort into all manner of fantastical fare, and come out of the book and dance a wild dance around his room. "Chopin to Infinity" (set to Opus 10. No. 8) combines 3D animation with 3D aerial photography. This follows the flying machine as seen in many of the other Chopin Shorts on a journey over San Francisco Bay.
