(3) Chinti
Dir: Natalia Mirzoyan 2011 / 8'15" / Russia
HIROSHIMA'12 Special International Jury Prize
The world of the little ant is limited to the river on the one side and the wall on another. His shore is like a trush dump, and daily routine of ant's family seems unreasonable and boring. Suddenly his life changes when he finds an entrance ticket with Taj-Mahal image on it. The ant falls in love with the image, but realizes that he will never see this building. So he decides to build his own Taj-Mahal, not worse than the original one, certainly not even imaging the real scale of it. He makes own Taj-Mahal from rubbish, but all of his attempts are just ridiculous, and he destroys one copy after another. Is there any sense in his efforts? |
