Travelling Country

When did you last talk with your father? Will you ever ask him about those things that hurt you? In FATHER the reality of life is turned upside down to create an impossible dialogue - the dialogue between a child and a father that never happens.

A film project throwing a bridge between poetry and animation. It visually interprets 6 original contemporary Bulgarian poems, each told in a different manner. Animation has no limits and very much like poetry renders visual symbols and metaphors powerful. Stories of doomed paper boats, intimate links to film genres, petty morning crimes, ice-cream hopes, urban moods, and industrial revelations are interwoven in this visual poetry experience.

Dappled little crowd I hold in my hand I pull their strings, I hope it doesn’t hurt them... Milkmaid is based on the original lyrics by Dimitar Voev from New Generation. The film is part of the animated poetry project Mark & Verse produced by Compote Collective.
