Pressestimmen

Solothurner Filmtage 2008

Tages Anzeiger, Samstag 26. Januar 2008
„ [.  .  .  ] Da war übrigens noch dieser wunderbare Trickfilm, ‚Die Seilbahn’ von Claudius Gentinetta und Frank Braun, ein kleines Meisterwerk, in dem eine grossnasige Hauptfigur, die ganz bestimmt Schweizer ist, auf den Himmel zufährt und eine ganze Sesselbahn in Stücke niest. Sie flickt alle Schäden mit Klebband, und irgendwann hängt sie zwischen Himmel und Abgrund, nur noch vom Klebband gesichert, und sagt zwei Worte, die einem an diesen Filmtagen und überhaupt auf eine fast metaphysische Art auch sehr schweizerisch vor-kamen, nämlich: ‚Et voilà!’.(Christoph Schneider)


FILMSTOCK INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, Luton, UK 2008 

Comments about „Die Seilbahn“:

Wonderful attention to detail and 
a fine sense of humour

Anything is possible if you have enough tape

Apart from the quirky humour, the landscape and machinery were  
wonderfully depicted. It understood the natural apprehension we all  
have of dangling in a box from a wire, even over marvellous Swiss  
scenery. Perhaps a reel of duct tape should be standard in all  
Seilbahn. (A Swiss cable car fan).

CAMBOFEST: Film, Video, and Animation Festival of Cambodia

Score works well with action, sound design also very strong. Animation itself very well designed & executed, esp layers to create depth. Some  SE Asian viewers might not know what snuff is and its  effects!(sneezing) Where is he headed, by the way? Big crack sneeze is  hilarious. Sad ending though (pathos) 

Would enjoy seeing another snuffer coming, get stuck with him, so he had some company  


Europäisches Filmfestival Alpinale
Nenzing, Austria 2009  

Die Seilbahn, ist eine hoch-moderne, charmante, witzige und liebevoll gezeichnete Geschichte, die mit großem gestalterischen Variantenreichtum überrascht, 
und vor allem durch eine hervor-ragende, absolut filmische
Umsetzung besticht.

Synopsis 
download

Die Seilbahn
Ein alter Mann besteigt eine Bergseilbahn und genehmigt sich eine Portion Schnupftabak. Et voilà! Mit jeder Niesattacke löst sich die Kabine weiter in ihre Bestandteile auf, während sie in immer bodenlosere Höhen schwebt. Doch der Alte beugt sich keineswegs passiv seinem Schicksal.

Le téléphérique 
Un vieil homme monte dans un téléphérique et s'offre une ration de  tabac à priser. Et voilà!
A chaque éternuement, la cabine part un peu plus en pièces, tout en  continuant à prendre de l'altitude. Le vieillard est pourtant loin d'accepter son destin...

The Cable Car 
While travelling by cable car to a place somewhere in the mountains, an old man treats himself to some snuff. Et voilà! With every sneeze the cable car cabin is falling more and more apart. The man, however, is far from accepting his fate just like that.
