In her short film 'Snovník,' Laura Boráros portrays a protagonist disturbed by noisy neighbors above him. The bright red character, unable to sleep, confronts the disturbance by venturing upstairs, only to be intrigued by the revelry he peers at through a keyhole. The film's use of stop-motion animation brings vibrant colors and whimsical shapes to life, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that reflects the chaos of the protagonist's sleepless night. Boráros skillfully captures the tension between annoyance and curiosity through immersive visual storytelling.
If you've ever had an upstairs neighbor, you're probably familiar with the sounds of echoing footsteps, resonant laughing, glass breaking, and the muffled weight of too many voices speaking atop one another during a late-night gathering.
In a short film titled 'Snovník,' or 'Dreamer,' Czech Republic-based filmmaker Laura Boráros introduces a bright red protagonist who is unable to sleep when he can't ignore the rowdiness resonating from above his bedroom ceiling.
Boráros immerses the audience with a flurry... painted and snipped into a mirage of shapes and scenes. Using stop-motion, the animation strikes a mechanical yet fluid tone, creating a surreal environment.
Taking matters into his own hands, he makes his way upstairs and knocks on his neighbor's door—only to become engulfed by the fun himself by peering into a small keyhole.
