Forage / Nabiranje

Carolyn Gair (Bowling4Rhinos Productions)
2024, USA, 7'36''

Zip is an intrepid yet lonely “rustbot” in a world where found objects come to life. He explores the vastness of a cluttered, long-abandoned attic and forages for artistic oddities to decorate a cozy home while wistfully hoping to find a friend along the way.

Zip je neustrašen, a osamljen „rustbot“ v svetu, kjer najdeni predmeti oživijo. Zip raziskuje prostranstva natrpanega, že dolgo zapuščenega podstrešja in išče umetniške nenavadnosti, da bi v svoj dom vnesel domačnost, obenem pa upa, da bo na poti našel prijatelja.
