Who among slovenes does not know Zvitorepec (Slick), Lakotnik (Hungerly), Trdonja (Hardie) and other heroes of many comics and picture books? And naughty bunnies from Zigzag, commercials for Mercator, Viki Cream, Chunga Lung, Jelovica and many more. The author of these folk creations is Miki Muster, undoubtedly one of the best creators in the field of comics, where we consider him the originator of picture books and animation in Slovenia. Jump Into the Future is an episode where our heroes fight for a cleaner environment. They visit the future and meet the culprit for pollution in the present.

The award-winning director and scriptwriter Darko Štante (1975) lives and works in Ljubljana, Slovenia. His debut feature film Consequences (2018) was premiered at Toronto IFF.

Štante was a participant in the ScriptEast Workshop and is a 2021 Berlinale Talents alumnus.

“The animated film was created due to the need and desire to screen Muster's heroes. At the same time, it was important to preserve his spirit, which we can feel in his works, but at the same time take into account modern trends and the habits of viewers”
