Medicate yourself against the mad materialism of the season with this thoughtful and wonderfully low-key graduation short by Austrian director/animator Johannes Schiehsl and crew which just finished it’s tour of over 70 festivals.
Johannes Schiehsl: “The story was inspired by my own experiences as a paramedic in Vienna, that I had to do since I refused to serve within the Austrian army. The film was created in 18 months using Maya and V-Ray at the renowned Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg.
Since graduating, Schiehsl, Benjamin Swiczinsky, and Conrad Tambour founded the Vienna animation studio Neuer Österreichischer Trickfilm to focus on “narrative animated films and the creation of authentic and intelligent animated characters for film and television.”
