Short Pick Of The Day: ‘Augenblicke: A Blink Of An Eye’ by Kiana Naghshineh
“Three perceptions of one truth – hers, his and ours. A woman walks home at night. She is overwhelmed from behind by a stranger. He grabs her and tries to rip off her clothes. They fight. The point of view switches between man and woman. Reality and fears blur into each other. A new point view is involved: eyewitnesses who live in surrounding houses. They look down to an escaping perpetrator and a helpless victim. But for the woman herself this situation is not so clear.”
Graduation film by Kiana Naghshineh made at Filmakademie Baden Württemberg, Germany, 2018.
Nominated for an Annie Award. Finalist at Student Academy Awards and BAFTA Student Film Awards. Screened at Annecy, Animafest Zagreb, and Animatricks, among other festivals. Winner of Young Jury Prize at Brussels Short Film Festival (2018) and special mention at Stuttgart (2018).
