55 Socks

• Co Hoedeman
• The Netherlands / Canada, 2011
• 8 min.

Based on a poem by Marie Jacobs, this animated short pays tribute to the ingenuity of the Dutch people during a dark period of their history - the cold winter of hunger in 1944-45. A mother and her daughter hide two Jewish girls in their house. There is little or nothing left to eat and the women look for ways to survive. They decide to unravel a beautiful bedspread in order to knit 55 socks to barter for food. Reaching back into his childhood memories, Hoedeman has made a simple, poetic film of rare beauty.

The Line

• Sjaak Rood
• The Netherlands, 2011

De Lijn (The Line) shows the balance between line, drawing and animation.The film is made from just one drawing of a line of figures. One by one the figures are centred in their frames, thus creating a series of coincidental compositions. These compositions form the basic loop for the film.The line of figures was drawn very quickly and intuitive, making the movement quite unpredictable.
