PUPPET MOTION


For a few years now, some puppet, object and shadow companies have made the leap to the big screen and have produced films and short films, in which puppets and objects are the protagonists.

The Fair has always been close to these productions, presenting animated short films and movie premieres. In this edition, we reopen this cinematographic window to once again bring professionals and the public closer to short films in which puppets and objects are the main actors.

ANDREA DÍAZ REBOREDO

PRECUELA
The confinement and the absence are established. The world gets smaller, tactile. Every corner of the house is a refuge. As in childhood, we play to create micro worlds. Own realities, interior gardens, where we can imagine the outside. We become architects of our fantasy, judges with our own laws and inhabitants of our own world. We live with our ideas, the same ones that, beyond these walls, will build a future.




TRUKITREK

CAN YOU DECIDE
This is the story of a lonely robot musician who fights between the desire to travel and play his music throughout the galaxy or return home to be with the girl he loves. This short film has been co-produced by the Italian production house 22S Productions and the figure company Trukitrek. All the puppets and scenery have been created from waste material.



BALKANIKA
This is the true story of Vladimir Sambol, an accordionist and composer from the city of Rijeka, who immigrated to Sweden to flee the war, taking only his accordion with him. Seventy years later, his daughter, to revive her father, gives her sheet music to the Guappercartò music group. This is how “Sambol – Migrant Love” was born.



THINGS WERE BETTER BEFORE
Lost in the middle of the deep and polluted ocean, the captain of a submarine is looking for a place to save his friends and his little fish. Tankus the Henge and the Trukitrek Puppet Company have created an animation that is both beautiful for its aesthetics and poignant for its environmental-themed message, particularly the death of our oceans. The film, made entirely from waste or recycled materials, is a "Wake-up Machine" for the viewer, promoting green and sustainable thinking in a society that needs to wake up and start making real changes before it is too late.
