Them People / Tisti ljudje
Nausheen Javed (Kunsthochschule für Medien Köln)
2020, GER, 5’45”

A small child raised to conform to the expectations of society, is unable to differentiate between love, hate and fear. This short animation is inspired by a self composed poem that speaks about the growing intolerance towards “the other”, and the obsession to define one’s own identity.

Majhen otrok, vzgojen, da se prilagodi pričakovanjem družbe, ne zna razlikovati med ljubeznijo, sovraštvom in strahom. Kratko animacijo je navdihnila avtoričina lastna pesem, ki govori o naraščajoči nestrpnosti do "drugega" in obsedenosti z opredelitvijo lastne identitete.
