Synopsis

I’m Not There is a debut project of Zagreb-based designer and animator Mirta Filipović. Only a few months after her first encounter with 3D animation, she embarked on a mad attempt of making an animation video for the Zagreb-based band Paul The Walrus.I’m Not There is a result of a year and a half of sleepless nights, existential ponderings and questioning why would anyone ever try and make an animated video with only three months’ experience in animation. This animation is a story about power, who has it, who doesn’t and how those who seem to have it nevertheless account to someone greater than them. Hands, eyes and mouth are used as symbols of power and submission. Hands hold power and can shape the world as they please, while eyes and mouth are sensual organs that can only observe and receive impulses.
