2D animation can be as narratively sophisticated as aesthetically pertinent. The first professional film by Lucija Mrzljak (check our Zippy Frames review for her Corner/ Kut) and Morten Tšinakov is A Demonstration of Brilliance in Four Acts. The film is produced by Joonisfilm and Adriatic Animation, and supported by Croatian Audiovisual Center, Estonian FIlm Institute and Estonian Cultural Endowment.
The people are waiting for someone special. Someone special is born – a grown-up man in a suit. They follow the man and cheer for his theatrical but utterly pointless performances.
