   “A special animated film with a clear story, a distinctive aesthetic, and powerful colors that nonverbally conveys intuitive feelings of harmony and disharmony between two people.



- Jury Hanau Youth Film Festival, 2023.

“The Standing Bar radiates the cozy, warm charm of the ‘analog’ and stands out far above a sea of fast, digital mass productions with its handmade, rough, and lovingly executed stop-motion technique.”
