Claudius Gentinetta, a Swiss animation author, participated in the 1st edition of Krakow Animated Film Workshops organized in 1996 by Pro Helvetia Foundation, Animated Film Studio of\u00a0 the Academy of Fine Arts of Krakow and the International Film Festival Etiuda.<\/p>\n

Gentinetta, born in 1968 in Lucerne, got interested in animated film already in his childhood. He studied design and animation in Lucerne, Liverpool and Kassel. In 1995, he spent a year-long Artest Foundation fellowship in Krakow, with the additional support by Pro Helvetia Foundation. His early films seem to be rooted in Gentinetta\u2019s fascination with various film genres, as the time passed, however, his interests centered on social issues.<\/p>\n

While staying in Krakow, as Christina Schlatter writes, Gentinetta \u201dfor the first time used a knife to scrape light into a black surface which had previously been applied in black ink on a film in order to create his animation \u201cHysteria\u201d (2000)\u201d. When he came back from Poland, the artist made an eerie and dark film \u201cPoldek\u201d (2004) inspired by his recording of piteous howling of a little dog and the look of Krakow\u2019s backyards.<\/p>\n

An exhausting experience of a hotel neighbour\u2019s snoring inspired another Gentinetta\u2019s film \u201cSleep\u201d (2010). An authentic recording of snoring sounds stimulated artist\u2019s imagination which created\u00a0 some dream figures floating on waves of snores. Sleep <\/em>brought the artist the Grand Prix of the ANIMA competition \u2013 The Golden Jabberwocky at the Etiuda&Anima 2010.<\/p>\n

Personal and family experiences of the artist, who each year spends a few weeks on the Irish island of Sherkin near Baltimore, contributed to the making of Gentinetta\u2019s latest, already known in Krakow and regarded as the most poetic of all his films \u2013 \u201cThe Islander\u2019s Rest\u201d (2015). It tells of a generational change, becoming an adult, saying goodbye and death. The film owes its melancholic atmosphere to, among others, the music composed by the Irish native Seamus Fogarty.<\/p>\n
