“Red Light Train” is a story of a young stewardess working in a luxurious long-distance train to Paris. The passengers are couples in love travelling to the capital of love. Involuntarily she becomes a witness of their passion. At the same time she starts to more severely experience her own loneliness. She wants to love and be loved. As she is not able to satisfy her own need for love, she obsessively watches the travelling lovers locked in passionate embraces. The project is being made in the cartoon and 2D computer graphics technique and it is supposed to be finished by the end of September 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Kaprysia” is a name of the planet, invented by Betina Bo\u017cek, which is the film protagonist. The animation is a picture of a land ruled by caprice. Everything that exists on Kaprysia is dubious, chaotic, changeable in form and properties. The shape of the planet is constantly shifting depending on laws and whims that no one is aware of. Despite of the apparent mess that overtook the planet, it is a happy place – dominated by bright and clear colours. “Kaprysia” is a cartoon project and just like “Red Light Train” the end of its production is planned for September 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The other award founder and KFF Industry partner is Sound Mind – a sound postproduction studio founded by Micha\u0142 Fojcik M.P.S.E. , sound designer with more than ten years of experience.
