“Sinformist” is a 2mins motion graphics animation that combines 3D and 2D techniques. The story is set in a world where each person is accompanied by a demon that represents his or her biggest faults. J, the main character in the story, is an average joe with no particular shortcomings, and thus without a demon to follow him. He notices that he is the only one without a demon, and becomes envious of those who do. J then starts to copy others, thinking this will produce the same demons they have. The result of this strategy is mixed. The message of the story is that often times an individual tries to follow the masses blindly, and the main driving force behind it can be jealously or envy. Sometimes this envy can be so severe that the individual is consumed entirely.

Metamorphoses of War: Сontamination of the Possible
Director Marina Illiahova, Sergiy Baiydeckiy
Ukraine
Runtime 8:29
Completion Date: February 16, 2017
Student Project
An animation project presents the phenomenon of war through the contamination of its opposing symbols. The explication of the war in its real form shock us with brutal murders, violence where death becomes the mistress of the world, in which people lose humanity. At the same time, for everyone, the war has its own face. But what is its cause? Why does humanity always replicate the terrible states of dehumanization? Perhaps the ontological basis of the metamorphosis of war is egoism, narcissism of its ideologues. War is a logical development of history or dispersion in the structure of the infantile personality? Either way, we will always witness the horrors that belong to the owners of death and their gallery. The project "Metamorphoses of War" is at the same time a certain provocation, and an opportunity to go beyond the conventional understanding of the war as a socio-historical phenomenon.
