“My hometown Ljutomer and its region Prleklija are very

and endless plains reawaken feelings of eeriness every
time I return.
This inspires me immensely.
We Prleki (people from Prlekija) know the title song by
heart since childhood. Music, art, and literature from Po-
murje have always been defined by the region’s scenery.
The self-portrait was made as a homage to Ljutomer and
Prlekija.”

How It Grows…
D BY MIHA KALAN, JERNEJ ŽMITEK
Tako zraste …, 2D cut-out computer animation series,
2018-, c, narration in rhymes, 13 x 5 min, preschool
A little animal is born. Soon after, it has to learn how to
find food so it can grow and grow: “Nom, nom, nom…”.
Sometimes it has to be careful not to become food for its
predators: “Hide, little animal!” The days are passing and
the little animal is not little anymore. It has grown into an
adult. Now it explores the world on its own, until it notic-
es someone special. A mate of the same species! They fall
in love and the circle of life begins again.
Each episode of How It Grows… illustrates the develop-
ment of a different animal species from birth to adult-
hood. The main character is accompanied by other an-
imals that are part of its natural habitat. Actions are
supported with narration in rhymes, allowing the young-
est to learn new words more easily.
Each episode ends with a riddle that sums up what has
been learned.
Miha Kalan (1982) is an award-winning film director.
He is also an experienced animation screenwriter. His
short On Sight (2013) won the Gold Medal at the Tiger
Paw Sports FF (2013), the Award of Merit at The Acco-
lade Competition (2013), and the Best Screenplay Award
at the Alpi Giulie Cinema (2014). How It Grows… is his de-
but as an animation director.

Killer, Penguin,

D B Y T O M A S TA M O S A I T I S
Ubijalec, Pingvin, Tom, Lutka, interactive web series,
expected delivery: November 2020
A story of socially excluded and alienated teenagers, liv-
ing in a universe – the HOUSE for the troubled – where
the usual laws of space and time do not apply.
Killer, Penguin, Tom, Doll Face evokes a reconsideration
of social values and social phobias, resulting in system-
atic discrimination of those who appear to deviate from
the perceived norms and thereby become subject to hos-
tility or exclusion. The aim of this project is to reduce
the alienation by raising the awareness and encourage
questioning and interaction between the different social
groups through an interactive web series co-created by
teenagers.
The web series is one of the three different formats of
the transmedia concept Killer, Penguin, Tom, Doll Face.
The other two are an animated documentary and a
VR experience. All the formats are based on facts and
personal stories, as reported by the characters them-
selves.
Tomas Tamosaitis (1980, lt) attained his film educa-
tion at the Theatre and Film Department of the Lithu-
anian Music Academy, then continued his studies at the
European Film College in Denmark and at the Andrzej
Wajda Master School of Film Directing in Poland.
Tomas is interested in and committed to making films
that often explore the fine line between the different
forms of the film medium. Tomas is a co-owner of the
JONI ART production company, where he works on the
development and production of various animation, docu-
mentary, and TV projects.
