Budapest-based artist Nadja Andrasev’s animations are darkly playful, telling stories about the stranger side of human behaviors. A graduate of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, her multi-award-winning film A nyalintás nesze (The Noise of Licking), which premiered in the Cinéfondation Selection at Cannes Film Festival, tells the story of “a voyeur cat, a woman with an excessive love for plants, and a peculiar visitor in a fur hat.”

True to its name, the film’s lapping and purring score provides an ominous undertone and leaves the viewer unable to forget the presence of the woman’s voyeuristic feline housemate.
