Director: Cy Porter.
This is the first episode of the animated story, "Treated Without Ceremony." Episode One introduces Sylvia Datatree a revolutionary scientist during her troubled youth.
Director: Eni Brandner.
Synopsis
Granica, Grenze, Border - dividing line between two religions, two cultures - between majoritarian Serbian respectively Croatian areas.
Twelve years after the end of the conflict about the 'Republic of Serbian Krajina' in the Yugoslavian/Croatian war (1991-1995), the traces of altercation are still present.
Delapidated, destroyed houses - partly sitting right next to minefields, or in the middle of townscapes, waiting for their owners - act as unintentional memorials, warding off oblivion.
The former inhabitants or their descendants/heirs return only slowly to the area rendered improvident by the Yugoslavian war. What persists are half abandoned villages and scarcely inhabited cities in the hinterland, off the beaten track, which still haven't recovered from the times of war.
Filmed in Zitnic, Drnis, Sibenik and Tepljuh (Croatia) in 2008, in locations
around the area of the temporary border of the internationally not recognized
'Republic of Serbian Krajina'. After the 'Log Revolution' in August 1990 this
area became one of the focal points in the Yugoslavian/Croatian
war 1991-1995.

Director: Cristina Ertze.
Four people awake in a derelict house with no memory of who they are or why they are there. All they know is that tonight, when they fall asleep they will forget everything again, so they have only a few hours to find out something – anything – about what or who is doing this to them. As they journey through a desolate, abandoned landscape they come to realise that this may all have happened before. And that they may be their own enemies. Blank is a existential, psychological thriller which explores the cycle of violence and retribution which comes from the failure to remember the lessons of the past. The film is inspired by Milan Kundera’s quote “the struggle of freedom against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting”. A post-apocalyptic thriller about suspicion, mistrust and fear which leads to a shocking conclusion, the film is a political parable of the dangers of forgetting lessons and repeating mistakes.
PLASTIC PAPER: WINNIPEG'S FESTIVAL OF ANIMATED, ILLUSTRATED + PUPPET FILM is an international festival that takes place May 4-7, 2011 at the

guests, workshops, multi-media presentations, installations and exhibits, artist
talks, and gatherings where the artists and the audience can interact more
informally.

About PLASTIC PAPER:
PLASTIC
PAPER started in 2008 as a mini-program curated by Kier-La Janisse
and Dave Barber, and hosted by the Winnipeg Cinematheque before
branching out
into an independent event. PLASTIC PAPER
2008 featured the Manitoba premieres of Bill Plympton's IDIOTS
AND ANGELS, Nina Paley's
multi-award winning SITA SINGS THE BLUES,
John Bergin's apocalyptic FROM INSIDE
and much more. Special guests have included BILL PLYMPTON, HEATHER HENSON and curator NAOMI HOCURA.
PLASTIC
PAPER is unique in Winnipeg as an event
that serves to explore the animated output of different regions and
cultural
communities around the world. With an emphasis on self-made work and a
careful
balance of accessible and experimental animation styles, PLASTIC
PAPER’s presentation and outreach offerings serve to educate,
enlighten and
inspire Winnipeg’s burgeoning roster of independent animators, who will
benefit
greatly from the international programming as well as personal
interaction with
visiting international filmmakers.
Many of
the featured
works come in a variety of animation styles with sometimes challenging
subject
matter; although some films are kid-friendly, PLASTIC PAPER is
mainly geared towards adult animation fans as well
as animators themselves. The programming is widely eclectic, but shows a
preference for independently-financed films, films with an adult
sensibility,
and films using traditional methods of animation, such as 2-D
illustration,
cut-outs and stop-motion. The festival also showcases films about animators
or illustrators, as well as puppetry films.
The
connecting thread in the programming is that all selections celebrate
the
labour-intensity, the obsessiveness, and the unique personalities of
these very
hands-on crafts.
