The Adventures of a Snail

The Adventures of a Snail Directed by Patrik Šimunović The hybrid film "The Adventures of a Snail" tells the story of a snail that goes towards its favourite food, greens. On his way he meets various animals. His path is only two meters long. With this film, we wanted to draw attention to the fact that children today cannot hold their attention for long. Internet and other contents change very quickly. We wanted to show that like a slow snail, long shots can be interesting and not just quick and sudden changes of shots. We also wanted the film to draw children's attention to the beauty of the nature that surrounds us. On his way, the snail meets a rooster, a frog and a mosquito, while the birds sitting on the wire watch him.
