Three Women On a Bench

Form Animation – Narrative Original Title Na Językach Country Poland Year 2017 Running Time 4min Language No Dialogue Director Karolina Borgiasz Screenwriter Karolina Borgiasz Producer Polish National Film School in Lodz Animation Karolina Borgiasz In a small town, three elderly women sit on a bench in front of an old apartment building. They spend their time mocking and laughing at the people they come across, until they notice something strange. Karolina Borgiasz uses wonderfully grotesque puppets in this macabre stop motion animation. Two women and one man create an erotic spectacle which reveals their loneliness and solitude despite the appearance of proximity. A kind of performance in which the characters are playing together, enjoying pleasure and, at the same time, struggling with their inability to create a deeper bond.
