🎀 About the makers 🎀

Hi! We're Leja, Oleksandra and Nilsu - an international team of animation students in the Netherlands, uniting our diverse backgrounds to create a meaningful film of our own. Through quirky stories and characters, we explore taboo topics, blending multicultural insights with our passion for animation.

The luxurious setting of 'Fathoming Dinner' features a family of four—Narcissa, Gulliver, Ivan, and Kuma—whose dinner turns into a wild battlefield. Rather than addressing the profound issues connected to their meals, they dive into a hilarious feud about plastic surgery and cheating rumors. Unaware and self-absorbed, these characters elevate the food fight to a self-inflicted doom, with their dog, Whatevra, seizing the opportunity to have a feast of her own. Brace yourself for a dark satire that serves as a poignant commentary on current society's inclination to quarrel about insignificant matters, all the while neglecting the weightier issues at hand and nourishing its growing indifference.

🎀 Motivation 🎀

The current world we live in is full of oxymorons, where happiness and terror go side by side. This paradoxical existence is especially pronounced in Western Countries. Nations like the Netherlands, characterized by their high living standards, could potentially be more distanced from the posing danger of global issues. However, these kinds of nations are the ones with the most power to make a difference and let their voices be heard. This is precisely the reason why we are targeting the Dutch community, a large chunk of which is already actively engaged in taking the responsibility for societal problems, as it promises to be the audience whose hearts will resonate with the core message of our short film.
