Introduction:
This is my first animated short film I made during my theater stage design Erasmus semester studies in the Academy of Performing Arts Prague (DAMU).

"Golem" took a lot of time to experiment and try out new things. I had my one camera and a little corner at school studios. I wanted to try out using natural material from garden, such as soil and tree branches and clay, means everything I found from my surroundings. This film was also my first attempt to create charcoal animation on paper and shoot it under the camera. The fog was made of taking pictures of water steam.

The sound of the film was made in collaboration with the Finnish artist Jere Suontausta.

Synopsis:
The Artist gets stuck in the endless bog while searching for an artwork. In the very last moment he sells his soul to his masterpiece that he finally finds - Golem. The only thing that will live after artist´s biological existence is Golem... Golem, the incarnation of artist´s soul, will serve his master´s wealth and legend forever.
