Hibernaculum

The film "Hibernaculum" (Latin for „a place in which animals hide during winter”) is a vision of the beginning of life - the birth of a creature. It’s a story about growing up and searching for your way in life. Presented in an abstract and metaphorical form, it tries to describe the fears and threats accompanying the entry of a young person into the contemporary world. It confronts an individual with the global threat of extinction. The film is a computer animation made in 3D technology.

Director Biography - Elżbieta Anna Wieland

I am a 3D artist, musician and filmmaker. I believe that providing art in education is a fundament of our existence. It provides all the needed elements to grow as a person (self-esteem, self-love). Art creates space to be yourself in a safe environment.

I am deeply engaged in the education system. I believe it is a fundament of our world. That's where all begins, the beauty of knowledge, the common, safe space for creation, the support of all human beings. I believe that people who believe, that education is crucial to all of us, should create together a safe space for students to learn and develop.
I am a three-time scholar of the Polish Prime Minister's reward. Also, I was awarded three times with the Rector's Scholarship at the Academy of Art in Szczecin. Additionally, I was awarded the Artistic scholarship of the City of Szczecin. I participated in the student exchange programs with Gymnasium Schloß Neuhaus in Paderborn (Germany), Christelijk Gymnasium Sorghvliet in Hague (The Netherlands), Stiftung Louisenlund in the IB program (Güby, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany). I took part in the International Film Course „DISPLAY - LES VISITEURS” in Leipzig (Germany), which was a cooperation of France, Poland and Germany.
