A film criticising the overdone uniformity and dehumanisation of some architectural designs. In this story people with different lifestyles move into a brand new concrete house. The architecture of their house soon makes uniform “bees” of all of them. —http://www.kratkyfilm.com

Director

Jiří Barta

Jiří Barta is a Czech stop-motion animation director. His films, many of which used the medium of wood for animation, garnered critical acclaim and won many awards, but after the fall of the communist government in Czechoslovakia he was unable to release anything for about 15 years (a situation similar to that faced by Russian animator Yuriy Norshteyn). Throughout the 1990s he tried to find funding for a feature film called The Golem, but ultimately only managed to complete a short pilot in 1996 (which can be viewed online). In 2006 he released his first computer-animated short film, and on March 5, 2009 he released a new puppet-animated feature film which was geared more towards a children’s audience. —wikipedia
