Paper predators and prey spring to life in this visually stunning short from directors Dávid Ringeisen & László Ruska . An ordinary desk and typical office supplies are the backdrop for this micro-universe that carries the macromessage of wildlife conservation. While humans are left out of the piece, their impact is still present in a discarded cigarette butt that sparks an imaginary forest fire and an overflowing wastebasket that pollutes a fantastical rolling-chair river. This piece is part of the filmmakers' MOME thesis project, the animation department at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest, Hungary and was created for WWF Hungary The Short Film Showcase spotlights exceptional short videos created by filmmakers from around the web and selected by National Geographic editors.
