Tallinna Pimedate Ööde filmifestival toob teieni saate “Meet the filmmakers”, peaosas film “Poiss maailma äärel”. Intervjuu filmi režissööridega Grzegorz Wacławek ja Marta Szymańska, intervjueeris Karin Martinson.
Kuula kaasa ja saa vastused nendele põletavatele küsimustele:
1. Mis oli animatsiooni visuaalse maailma inspiratsiooniallikaks?
2. Mida Grzegorz ja Marta tahavad, et noorem põlvkond filmist kaasa võtaks?
3. Kuidas näeb välja selle filmiloo tulevik?
Tundub põnev? Ära muretse, vastused pole üldse kaugel.
Animafilm “Poiss maailma äärel” on kujutlusvõimet ergutav seiklusfilm, mis jälgib 10-aastast Omulit ohtlikul teekonnal maailma äärele, et päästa tema õe hing, mille on röövinud müütiline olend. Saades inspiratsiooni Studio Ghiblilt, on filmi kaaslavastanud Grzegorz Wacławek ja Marta Szymańska, kusjuures Wacławek täidab lisaks ka laialdasi produtsendi, operaatori ja kaasstsenaristi rolle, demonstreerides nende mitmekülgset koostööd.
