Last Minute may be explained by the title in Linda Audyová’s graduation film from Tomas Bata University, in Zlinin, Czech Republic. It takes its cue from a farmer about to club to death a luckless rabbit, the animal’s last images or subconscious being explored in a largely abstract vision that stresses the interconnectivity of everything. Would that were consolation? There is a strange beauty in the computer designed 2D film, elevated by the suitably mysterious music by Marek Gabriel Hruška. From the dark silhouettes of the opening scenes Linda takes us on a colourful if enigmatic journey, a mix of the microscopic and cosmic, always confidently designed, from delicately coloured cells to a shadowy more evolved world where young people dance to a band in a grey universe to which they are attached by what, in a darker vision, I could take for nooses though I guess they are the strands that bind us. The credits both at the beginning and end are equally stylish as is the entire piece. Linda has made a music video, On the Knees for Robo Grigorov that has something of the same style.
