my strange grandfather

a children’s stop motion short film

A creative person often seems weird, funny and a little bit crazy. Even his friends and family do not always understand him and often feel ashamed of him. But sometimes he can create a real miracle – merely from garbage.

The lovingly told children film My Strange Grandfather was created using traditional puppet stop-motion animation and has been screened at numerous film festivals and won several awards.
