Koyaa – Elusive Paper
2019, 2'45'', puppet stop-motion animated film
Outdoors, Koyaa wants to paint some watercolours while Mr Raven is crafting a cardboard birdhouse. Koyaa grabs his brush to start painting but the canvas starts folding all by itself – once, twice ... – flying off as a paper airplane. He tries grabbing it as it shifts into a jumpy frog, then a ship and soon a butterfly ... Koyaa realizes he'll need a special plan to outsmart the tricky paper sheet.
