Rosso Papavero

From Martin Smatana (“The Kite”), Rosso Papavero was his first short film, intended to be a school exercise  in the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava, Slovakia, to animate various types of walking, setting the exercise in a circus environment.

“Once upon a starry night, a small boy with the head full of fantasies witnesses dreamlike circus performances. Dazed by endless chain of glittering attractions he realizes that the price for a ticket to the fantastic circus tent is too high and gate between reality and dream is closing.”

Watch the video here.
