Ghosts in the Park 

Austria, 2011, 4min.

Does it exist, the monster under the bed, the bogeyman in the closet, the "Wolpertinger" in the Bavarian mountains, the dragon from midieval times, the Harpy from Greek mythology or Grandma's ghost who howls in the basement? And what do old statues do during the foggy night? Animated mythical creatures float through the park. Static drawings turn into animation into drawing. Strange nightly landscapes make space for ghosts. Statues become alive ... A film, which deals with the inbetween space between mysticism and phantasy, a little bit creepy, a little funny. And somehow a little bit like the drooling monster under the bed which kept us awake as a child...
