Een Korte Vertelling over een Grote Queeste (A Short Tale About a Big Quest), Reinier Kroese (2017)

18 min., Dutch spoken

A short, comic fantasy with at its center an unworldly student of poetry whose city is under siege. To counter the war, he wants to write the perfect poem and sets out to ask for advice from the old poet who lives on the other side of the city. On the road, he gets entangled in the conflict. The actors were filmed in front of a green screen and composited within a unique animated world.
