Stampfer Dreams
Animation
Jury's Citation • 2025
11 min
Wien, Film Festival/Market Austria
An homage to the scientist Simon von Stampfer, who presented his invention of Stroboscopic Discs in Vienna in 1833. These discs show all kinds of animated loops from abstract to figurative and from experimental to documentary. In this way von Stampfer’s discs foresee the variety of genres in animated film. All the characters and animated sequences in “Stampfer Dreams” are taken from and based on these “optical magic discs.”
