The Blue Room tells the story of a man in a coma. The patient’s critical condition evokes dreamy, disturbing visions which deal with his memories and fears. Imprisoned in a blue room, he needs to settle with his past to feel free again.
“We decided to take part in this production, because as an experienced and professional production company we see what great potential Tomasz Siwiński has,” Se-ma-for Studio deputy-chairman, Adam Ptak told FNE. “Supporting talented debutants is our mission. The Blue Room is interesting in terms of artistic issues and technological angles. We appreciate artists who do not take shortcuts, but reach for rare, complicated techniques. We believe Siwiński is able to achieve an extraordinary success.”
The animation is shot in stop-motion technique with frames painted on the glass and colorized in a graphic programme. The final effect should recall handmade pictorial animation.
The Blue Room is produced by French Sacrebleu Productions and co-produced by Polish Se-ma-for Film Production. The film received 100,000 PLN (238,87 EUR) from the Polish Film Institute. The budget is 140,000 EUR. The year long shoot will be completed March 2013. All the work will be done in Poland.
The film premiere is scheduled for September 2013.
