HEADPRICKLES
Screenplay, direction, music: Katarzyna Miechowicz
Animation: Katarzyna Miechowicz, Zuzanna Stach
Editing: Piotr Baryła
Artistic supervision: Mariusz Wilczyński, Joanna Jasińska

The film consists of over a dozen animated enigrams connected by the motif of being trapped in a loop of absurdity. In visually colorful labyrinth of observations, the protagonists try to make sense of nonsense - or they stay mindlessly in it. "Headprickles" probably won’t change the world, will not cause a shock or a revolution, but - maybe – it will make audience’s heads a little itchy while watching it?
