Το φετινό Κυπριακό διαγωνιστικό πρόγραμμα είναι το πιο ώριμο που είχαμε ποτέ. Συμπεριλαμβάνει διεθνείς συμπαραγωγές και μια παραγωγή της Συμβουλευτικής Επιτροπής Κινηματογράφου (Σ.Ε.ΚΙΝ). Επιπλέον, δύο ταινίες Κύπριων δημιουργών συμμετέχουν ταυτόχρονα και στο διεθνές διαγωνιστικό πρόγραμμα, ενώ μια Κυπριακή ταινία συμμετέχει στο διεθνές πανόραμα παιδικών ταινιών. Κι ακόμα, νεαροί Κύπριοι καλλιτέχνες, που έλαβαν μέρος σε προηγούμενες διοργανώσεις, επιστρέφουν με ωριμότερα έργα, ενώ πρωτοεμφανιζόμενοι δημιουργοί, που έλαβαν μέρος στο Animafest ως εθελοντές ή παρακολουθώντας εργαστήρια, κάνουν το ντεμπούτο τους στο εθνικό διαγωνιστικό πρόγραμμα. Αυτή είναι η μεγαλύτερη επιβράβευση για μας, γιατί πάντα είχαμε την ανάπτυξη της Κυπριακής παραγωγής ως προτεραιότητα.

Το διεθνές διαγωνιστικό πρόγραμμα αποτελείται και φέτος από μια επιλογή ταινιών διακεκριμένων καλλιτεχνών παγκοσμίως, που συνεχίζουν να μας γοητεύουν με την τεχνική και την ευαισθησία τους. Το διεθνές πρόγραμμα είναι για ακόμα μια φορά ποικιλόμορφο και πολύ επιλεκτικό, ενώ παρατηρούμε ότι, παρόλα τα τεχνολογικά επιτεύγματα της εποχής μας, στο χώρο του ανεξάρτητου animation αυξάνονται οι καλλιτέχνες που αξιοποιούν τις παραδοσιακές τεχνικές, όπως για παράδειγμα ζωγραφική σε γυαλί, κινούμενο σχέδιο, stop motion animation κλπ. Μεταξύ άλλων θα προβληθούν ταινίες των Koji Yamamura, Phil Mulloy, Igor Kovalyov, Georges Schwizgebel, Vladimir Leschiov, Riho Unt, David Jansen, Lei Lei, Cordell Barker, Reka Bucsi, Steve Socki, Janice Nadeau κ.α. Μέσω της επαφής με τη δουλειά καλλιτεχνών τέτοιας εμβέλειας ενδυναμώνεται και καλλιεργείται ο τομέας του animation στον τόπο μας. Μαζί με τα εργαστήρια, τα αφιερώματα και τα masterclasses, το διεθνές διαγωνιστικό πρόγραμμα είναι το σχολείο στο οποίο βασίζεται και η δική μας ανάπτυξη στην Κύπρο. Ευχαριστούμε λοιπόν όλους τους διεθνείς καλλιτέχνες που συμμετέχουν στο φεστιβάλ με τις ταινίες τους ή μέσα από εκπαιδευτικές δράσεις, στηρίζοντας έτσι την αποστολή του. Οι παράλληλες εκδηλώσεις φέτος περιλαμβάνουν εργαστήρι υπό την καθοδήγηση των καλλιτεχνών Thomas Renoldner και Federica Pagnucco με θέμα «Χαρακτική και το Animation» στο Μουσείον Χαρακτικής Χαμπή στα Πλατανίστεια (18-20 Ιουλίου), έκθεση βασισμένη στην ταινία τους «L’ alfabeto delle cose piccole» καθώς και ημερίδα / Animation Forum σε συνεργασία με το πρόγραμμα Creative Europe Desk Cyprus, το Τεχνολογικό Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου και το Πανεπιστήμιο Λευκωσίας (Παρασκευή 22 Ιουλίου, ΤΕ.ΠΑ.Κ.), η οποία θα περιλαμβάνει και παρουσίαση του αναπτυξιακού έργου του The Animation Workshop της Δανίας. Από τις 21 μέχρι τις 23 Ιουλίου, στον εσωτερικό χώρο της Μεσαιωνικής Αγρέπαυλης καθ’ όλη τη διάρκεια της ημέρας το κοινό θα έχει την ευκαιρία να παρακολουθήσει αφιερώματα στη δουλειά των καλλιτεχνών Theodore Ushev και Kaspar Jancis. Έχουμε επίσης την τιμή και τη χαρά να φιλοξενούμε έκθεση με τις αφίσες του Theodor Ushev, στη Μεσαιωνική Αγρέπαυλη μεσα στον Αρχαιολογικό χώρο της Παλιπάφου στα Κουκλια, κατά τη διάρκεια του φεστιβάλ. O Ushev, διεθνώς διακεκριμένος καλλιτέχνης της αφίσας και του animation και γνωστός στο Κυπριακό φεστιβάλ τα τελευταία χρόνια, φιλοτέχνησε επίσης τη φετινή αφίσα μας. Το παιδικό πανόραμα ταινιών προβάλλεται στις 19 Ιουλίου στον πολιτιστικό χώρο Τεχνόπολις 20 στην Πάφο. Το Φεστιβάλ θα κλείσει το Σάββατο 23 Ιουλίου με την τελετή βράβευσης και ακολούθως με μια συναυλία από το αγαπημένο Κυπριακό μουσικό σχήμα Sandy Brour. Οι Sandy Brour ιδρύθηκαν το 2012 και το 2016 κυκλοφόρησαν τον πρώτο τους δίσκο. Τους ευχόμαστε να είναι καλοτάξιδος και τους ευχαριστούμε που είναι μαζί μας φέτος, για να κλείσουν με τον καλύτερο τρόπο αυτό το μαγικό τριήμερο! Θα ήθελα να εκφράσω τις θερμές μας ευχαριστίες στους χορηγούς μας για τη σταθερή τους στήριξη: Τις Πολιτιστικές Υπηρεσίες του Υπουργείου Παιδείας και Πολιτισμού, που μας στηρίζει εδώ και 15 χρόνια, το Τμήμα Αρχαιοτήτων, για τη δωρεάν παραχώρηση του αρχαιολογικού χώρου της Παλαιπάφου, τον Οργανισμό Νεολαίας Κύπρου, το Πανεπιστήμιο Λευκωσίας και το Τεχνολογικό Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου καθώς και την Πρεσβεία της Αυστρίας στην Κύπρο.

Καλωσορίζουμε και ευχαριστούμε ιδιαίτερα τη διεθνή κριτική επιτροπή, Kaspar Jancis, Theodore Ushev και Γιώργο Σαββινίδη. Τέλος, ένα μεγάλο ευχαριστώ στο κοινό που εδώ και 15 χρόνια μας στηρίζει και έχει αγκαλιάσει την τέχνη του animation. Καλό φεστιβάλ σε όλους! Γιώργος Τσαγγάρης Καλλιτεχνικός Διευθυντής This year we celebrate the 15th edition of Countryside Animafest Cyprus! For fifteen years the festival has maintained a dynamic presence in our country’s cultural scene. I feel that this joyful anniversary marks a turning point for Cypriot animation production. This year’s National competition programme is the most advanced and artistically mature we have ever had. It includes international co-productions, and one production by the Cyprus Cinema Advisory Board. Furthermore, two films by Cypriot artists take part in the international competition section, while one Cypriot film is included in the international panorama of children’s films. Young Cypriot artists, who participated in the competition in previous years, are returning with more mature work, while some, who in the past had attended workshops or participated as festival volunteers, are making their debut in the national competition section. This is the greatest reward for us, since we’ve always kept the development of Cypriot animation production high up on the festival’s priorities. This year the participants in the National Competition Section are: Constantinos Terlikkas (with a co-production with Hungary and Romania, also participating in the international competition), Alexis Chaviaras (Co-production with Cyprus Cinema Advisory Board, participating also at the Children’s film Panorama) Rhea Lazarides, Christina Karekla, Sholeh Zahraei, Constantinos Sophocleous, Maria Nicolaou, Constantinos Georgiou, Dino Syrimis, Charalambos Margaritis, Savvas Theodosiou, Georgia Nicolaou, Eleni Chandriotou, Cosmas Nonis, Periclis Georgiou, Charis Christodoulides and Stephanos Chrysanthou. At the same time, the students of the Cyprus Technological University Georgia Nicolaou, Irini Pantela, Iraclis Ioannou, Kalia Pavlou, Michalis Constantinou, Myria Adamou, Nicoletta Kyriakou, Pamela Andreou, Fanouria Panayiotou and Philippos Athinodorou, will participate in the festival with an interactive installation entitled “Hope with-in”. The exciting selection of films in the international competition will be a feast for the senses, and will include work by several internationally acclaimed artists, who continue to enchant with their technique and emotional depth. In curating this year’s diverse and highly selective programme we observed that, despite our era’s technological advances, an increasing number of independent artists are using traditional animation techniques, such as painting on glass, drawn animation, stop motion animation etc. Among other artists, this year we will screen films by Koji Yamamura, Phil Mulloy, Igor Kovalyov, Georges Schwizgebel, Vladimir Leschiov, Riho Unt, David Jansen, Lei Lei, Cordell Barker, Reka Bucsi, Steve Socki and Janice Nadeau. One of our core beliefs is that the field of animation in Cyprus is enriched and cultivated through contact with the work of international artists of such caliber. Along with workshops, tributes and masterclasses, the international competition section is an educational tool for Cypriot animators. So we’d like to thank all the international artists who are participating in the festival, either in this year’s competition program or with educational side-bar events, thus supporting its mission. Side-bar events this year include a workshop by artists Thomas Renoldner and Federica Pagnucco entitled “PrintmakingAnimation”, at the Hambis Printmaking Museum, Platanistia (July 18-23), as well as an exhibition based on their film «L’ alfabeto delle cose piccole»; a Day conference /Animation Forum in collaboration with Creative Europe Desk Cyprus, the Cyprus Technological University and the University of Nicosia, with keynote speakers Morten Thorning and Lana Tankosa Nikolic from the Danish animation school The Animation Workshop; from the 21st to the 23rd July during the day the audience will be able to watch tributes to the work of Theodore Ushev and Kaspar Jancis, screened indoors in the Manor House at Kouklia. We are also proud to host an exhibition of posters by Theodore Ushev, in the Medieval Manor house, for the duration of the festival. Ushev, an internationally acclaimed director, animator and poster artist, well known to the Cypriot public from previous festival editions, has also created this year’s festival poster. The festival will close on Saturday July 23rd with the award ceremony, followed by a concert by one of our most beloved Cypriot bands, Sandy Brour. Sandy Brour were formed in 2012 and in 2016 their first album came out. We wish them the best of luck with their album debut and we thank them for being with us this year, to bring these magical three days to a close. I would like to express our warmest thanks to our sponsors for their unwavering support: the Cultural Services of the Ministry of Education and Culture, who have supported us for fifteen years, the Department of Antiquities, for allowing us the use of the Palaepaphos archaeological site free of charge, the Cyprus Youth Board, the University of Nicosia, the Cyprus Technological University, and the Austrian Embassy in Cyprus. This year the awards are sponsored by the Bank of Cyprus. We thank them and we look forward to a long-term collaboration. We would also like to thank Creative Europe Desk Cyprus for co-organizing the lectures and presentations. I would also like to thank our volunteers whose contribution is invaluable. I would like to welcome and thank our international jury, Kaspar Jancis, Theodore Ushev and Yiorgos Savvinides. Finally, a big thanks to our audience, who have supported the festival for 15 years, embracing the art of animation. Have a wonderful festival! Yiorgos Tsangaris Artistic Director Διεθνής Κριτική Επιτροπή / International Jury Committee 2016 The children’s film panorama will be screened on July 19 at Technopolis 20 Cultural Centre in Paphos. Kaspar Jancis Διεθνής Κριτική Επιτροπή / International Jury Committee Γεννήθηκε στις 8 Μαΐου 1975 στο Ταλίν. Από παιδί έγραφε και εικονογραφούσε ιστορίες. Τα πρώτα του κινούμενα σχέδια γεννήθηκαν στα περιθώρια των σχολικών του τετραδίων. Νεαρός πέρασε ένα διάστημα κάνοντας διάφορες δουλειές. Αυτή η περίοδος, αν και χωρίς εκπαιδευτικό περιεχόμενο, ήταν γεμάτη περιπέτεια. Τότε άρχισε να ασχολείται συστηματικά με τη μουσική. Υπήρξε μέλος της κεντρικής δημιουργικής ομάδας πολλών συγκροτημάτων ροκ μουσικής, γράφοντας στίχους, κάνοντας ενορχηστρώσεις και δημιουργώντας μελωδίες. Το 1997 άρχισε τις σπουδές του στο animation στο Turku Arts and Media School στη Φιλανδία, με την καθοδήγηση του Priit Pärn. Μετά την αποφοίτηση άρχισε να φτιάχνει ταινίες, οι οποίες έχουν προβληθεί και βραβευθεί σε πολλές χώρες του κόσμου. Kaspar Jancis was born on May 8, 1975 in Tallinn. Since childhood he has been interested in writing stories, for which he made his own illustrations. His first moving pictures came into being in the corners of his school notebooks. This was followed by a period as a working youth, which was not particularly educational, but was brimming with adventures. During that time he began working consistently with music. He has been part of the creative core of several rock groups, written song lyrics, made arrangements and created tunes. In 1997 he began to study animation under the guidance of Priit Pärn at the Turku Arts and Media School in Finland. After graduation he started making films which have been shown all over the world, receiving multiple awards. Theodore Ushev Διεθνής Κριτική Επιτροπή / International Jury Committee Γεννημένος στο Kyustendil της Βουλγαρίας, ο Theodore Ushev έγινε αρχικά γνωστός στη χώρα του σαν καλλιτέχνης της αφίσας, πριν μετακομίσει στον Μοντρεάλ το 1999. Εκεί γρήγορα απέκτησε τη φήμη χαρισματικού και εξαιρετικά παραγωγικού καλλιτέχνη, μέσα από ταινίες όπως το Tzaritza (2006) και The Man Who Waited (2006). Το 2010 ολοκλήρωσε την διακεκριμένη ταινία Lipsett Diaries, μια φανταστική βιογραφία του φημισμένου Καναδού πειραματικού σκηνοθέτη Arthur Lipsett. Η ταινία βραβεύθηκε με το Genie Award για Καλύτερη Ταινία Animation Μικρού Μήκους στα τριακοστά πρώτα Genie Awards. Δημιούργησε live show multimedia και διαφημιστικά animation για το Βρετανικό συγκρότημα Public Symphony και τον μουσικό David Gilmour. Έκανε την εικονογράφηση για το βιβλίο του Chris Robinson Ballad of a Thin Man: In Search of Ryan Larkin (2008). To 2012 μια μουσική ταινία μικρού μήκους βασισμένη στο τραγούδι Demoni του Βουλγαρικού συγκροτήματος Kottarashky κέρδισε πάνω από 10 βραβεία, συμπεριλαμβανομένης μια υποψηφιότητας για τα Canadian Screen Awards. Η τρίτη ταινία της Τριλογίας του 20ου αιώνα, Gloria Victoria, ανακυρήχθηκε ως η πιο δημοφιλής ταινία animation μικρού μήκους του 2013. Η πιο πρόσφατη ταινία του, Blind Vaysha , μια παραγωγή του Εθνικού Κέντρου Κινηματογράφου του Καναδά (NFB), βραβεύθηκε με το Junior Jury Award (short films) στο Annecy International Animation Film Festival. Oι ταινίες του Ushev έχουν κερδίσει περισσότερα από 80 βραβεία και εύφημους μνείες διεθνώς, και έχουν παρουσιαστεί σε πολλές ρετροσπεκτίβες, όπως για παράδειγμα στο Short Film Festival του Clermont-Ferrand στη Γαλλία. To 2011 το Barbican Centre του Λονδίνου παρουσίασε έκθεση με τα σχέδια και τους πίνακές του. Από το 2010 διδάσκει, δίνει εργαστήρια και master classes σε περισσότερα από 15 πανεπιστήμια και φεστιβάλ σε πολλές χώρες του κόσμου.

There he quickly acquired a reputation as a prolific and gifted animator through films such as Tzaritza (2006) and The Man Who Waited (2006). In 2010 he completed the critically acclaimed film, Lipsett Diaries, an imagined biography of the celebrated Canadian experimental filmmaker, which received the Genie Award for Best Animated Short at the 31st Genie Awards. He created live show multimedia and promo animations for the British band Public Symphony and David Gilmour, and illustrations for Chris Robinson’ book Ballad of a Thin Man: In Search of Ryan Larkin (2008). In 2012 a short musical film, based on Demoni, a song by Bulgarian band Kottarashky, won more than 10 awards, including Nomination for the newly inaugurated Canadian Screen Awards. The third film from his 20th-century trilogy Gloria Victoria was named Most Well Liked Animated Short of 2013. His previews film Blind Vaysha produced by the National Film Board of Canada, received the Junior Jury Award (short Films) at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.

Their tragedy is that they fear genuine, intimate connection yet desperately crave it. In the Hitchcock- influenced, Weitzenberg Street (2002), the man performs an assortment of inane magic tricks to get his lover’s attention. Bored, she finds erotic solace in the touch of a mosquito. Touch is all she craves, not tricks. We see it again at the end of Marathon (2006), when a flirting, deceitful mother, having forgotten her daughter, races to a playground to find her. As they make eye contact and wave, a train passes between them and leads into the end credits. In the Cartoon d’or winning, Crocodile (2009), a one time Opera star turned boozy, crocodilecostumed kid’s entertainer would rather suffer and remain alone than accept an imperfect love. Jancis’ most recent film, Piano (2015) is arguably the only time we get some semblance of a happy ending when the gaggle of disconnected and lonely characters briefly rise above their self-induced miseries when a piano begins playing. For one brief moment, the characters are aware and truly alive. In unison they gently smile and quietly emit unfiltered, harmonic joy. In a world suffocating from facile distractions, perhaps these fleeting, momentary connections are the best we can hope for. If so, that truly is tragic. Morten on the Ship of Fools, 2016 (working title) Οι ταινίες του Kaspar Jancis είναι ελαφρώς αποστασιοποιημένα κωμικο-μελοδράματα με στοιχεία παραλόγου. Οι μπερδεμένοι χαρακτήρες του παλεύουν να δημιουργήσουν δεσμούς με τους συνανθρώπους τους. Η τραγωδία τους έγκειται στο ότι φοβούνται την ουσιαστική, βαθειά σύνδεση, ενώ ταυτόχρονα την ποθούν απελπισμένα. Στην εμπνευσμένη από το Χίτσκοκ ταινία Weitzenberg Street (2002), ο άντρας κάνει διάφορα ανιαρά ταχυδακτυλουργικά κόλπα για να τον προσέξει η αγαπημένη του. Αυτή, βαριεστημένη, βρίσκει ερωτική παρηγοριά στο άγγιγμα ενός κουνουπιού: αυτό που λαχταρά πραγματικά είναι η σωματική επαφή, κι όχι τα μαγικά κόλπα. Το ίδιο μοτίβο βλέπουμε στο τέλος της ταινίας Marathon (2006), όταν μια άπιστη μητέρα που έχει το νου της στο φλερτ, έχοντας ξεχάσει την κόρη της στην παιδική χαρά τρέχει για να τη βρει. Καθώς βλέπουν η μια την άλλη και χαιρετιούνται από μακριά, ένα τρένο περνάει ανάμεσά τους, οδηγώντας μας στους τίτλους τέλους. Στην ταινία Crocodile (2008), που βραβεύθηκε με Cartoon d’or, ένας αλκοολικός ξεπεσμένος σταρ της Όπερας, που δουλεύει ως διασκεδαστής παιδιών με στολή κροκόδειλου, προτιμά να υποφέρει και να μείνει μόνος, παρά να δεχτεί μια ερωτική σύντροφο με ελαττώματα. Η τελευταία ταινία του Jancis, Piano (2015), είναι ίσως η μόνη που καταλήγει σε κάποιου είδους happy end: οι αποξενωμένοι και μοναχικοί χαρακτήρες του για μια στιγμή ξεπερνούν τη μιζέρια που προκάλεσαν οι ίδιοι στον εαυτό τους όταν ένα πιάνο αρχίζει να παίζει. Για μια φευγαλέα στιγμή, οι χαρακτήρες αντιλαμβάνονται τον κόσμο γύρω τους και είναι πραγματικά ζωντανοί. Όλοι μαζί χαμογελούν απαλά και σιγανά εκπέμπουν σε αρμονία την ειλικρινή χαρά τους. Σε ένα κόσμο που ασφυκτιά λόγω της πληθώρας ανούσιων περισπασμών, ίσως αυτές οι εφήμερες, στιγμιαίες συναντήσεις είναι το καλύτερο που μπορούμε να ελπίζουμε. Αν είναι έτσι, τότε η ζωή μας είναι πραγματικά τραγική.

Είναι δύσκολο να παραμένεις επίκαιρος όταν δουλεύεις με τόσο αργό ρυθμό, κι αυτό πιθανόν να έχει οδηγήσει σε ένα από τα μειονεκτήματα της τέχνης του animation: συχνά του λείπει η αμεσότητα και η σχέση με το κοινωνικό πλαίσιο, με το τώρα. Γιατί τόση βραδύτητα; Η κοινότητα του animation είναι γεμάτη από φορμαλιστές που έχουν τέτοια εμμονή με την τεχνική ώστε το εννοιολογικό περιεχόμενο του έργου να καταντά δευτερεύουσας σημασίας, σχεδόν μια «κακή» λέξη. Το αποτέλεσμα είναι εξεζητημένα, τεχνικά άψογα έργα που βασίζονται στο όμορφο οπτικό αποτέλεσμα, χωρίς όμως να έχουν κάτι να πουν για τον κόσμο γύρω τους. Η προσέγγιση του Ushev στο animation είναι ωμή, χαοτική, ακατέργαστη: δεν υπάρχει τίποτα υπερβολικά τέλειο ή ραφιναρισμένο στη μεθοδολογία του. Οι ταινίες του, που μερικές φορές ολοκληρώνονται μέσα σε λίγες βδομάδες, στόχο έχουν να εξαπολύσουν το δικό του χάος και το δικό μας. Αυτή η σπάνια και τραχιά ειλικρίνεια είναι αυτό που ξεχωρίζει τον Ushev από κάποιους από τους συναδέλφους του, που πολύ συχνά προσεγγίζουν το animation σαν να επρόκειτο για ένα εύθραυστο γυάλινο ζωάκι της Λώρα Γουίγκφηλντ από το Γυάλινο Κόσμο. Οι ταινίες του Ushev είναι μια βρωμερή πνοή ανανέωσης και ένα αναγκαίο χαστούκι πραγματικότητας σε ένα τομέα όπου κυριαρχούν έργα με φτηνό συναισθηματισμό γεμάτα τεχνολογικά πυροτεχνήματα. Theodore Ushev is a freewheeling animation artist with an almost feverish compulsion to create as fast and as often as he wants to. Fast and prolific are generally not the way things are supposed to be done in animation. Despite technological advancements that now enable animators to create quicker and just as effectively as they could ten years ago, a good many animators still like to take their sweet ol’ time sometimes as long as 10 years! when creating their films. Working at such a slow pace can make it difficult for animators to craft relevant art that speaks to the moment and has, arguably, led to one of the drawbacks of animation: the genre often lacks urgency and immediacy. Why so slow? Animation is littered with formalists so fixated on technique and craft that “concept” is virtually an afterthought, a dirty word. The result is precious, polished works that look nice can have very little to say about the surrounding world. Ushev’s handling of animation is raw, rough and chaotic; there’s nothing polished, pristine or precious about his methods. His films, some made in mere weeks, seek to unpack the chaos of his moment—and ours. It’s this rare and raw honesty that separates Ushev from some of his animation peers who too often treat animation like one of Laura Wingfield’s glass figurines from The Glass Menagerie. Ushev’s films are a refreshing bad breath and a sorely needed slap of reality in a field dominated by works of faux angst and technological gumdrops. Chris Robinson The Man Who Waited, 2006 / Poster by Theodore Ushev Ο Theodor Ushev είναι ένας καλλιτέχνης του animation με ελεύθερο πνεύμα και μια πυρετώδη ανάγκη να δημιουργεί όσο γρήγορα και όσο συχνά θέλει. Όμως η παραγωγή στο animation δεν χαρακτηρίζεται συνήθως από ταχύτητα και πληθώρα. 3RD PAGE FROM THE SUN NIGHTINGALES IN DECEMBRE 2014 / 5 ’ 2011 / 3 ’ DRUX FLUX, I YANNICK NÉZET-SÉGUIN: NO INTERMISSION 2008 / 4 ’ GLORIA VICTORIA 2010 / 5’ 2013 / 7 ’ BLOOD MANIFESTO TOWER BAWHER 2015 / 2 ’ 2006 / 3 ’ THE MAN WHO WAITED LIPSETT DIARIES 2006 / 7 ’ 2010 / 14 ’ DEMONI TZARITZA 2012 / 3’,43 ’’ 2006 / 6 ’ SONAMBULO 2015 / 4’,20 ’’ Guest School The Animation Workshop Selected Films Μεσαιωνική Αγρέπαυλη, Παλαίπαφος - Κούκλια Ancient Site of Palaepaphos - Κouklia Black Tape Το Animation Workshop (TAW) βρίσκεται στο Viborg της Δανίας.

SUBFRAME ANIMATION ΜΙΑ ΨΗΦΙΑΚΉ ΠΕΙΡΑΜΑΤΙΚΉ ΠΡΟΣΈΓΓΙΣΗ ΤΗΣ ΚΑΡΈ-ΚΑΡΈ ΔΙΑΔΙΚΑΣΊΑΣ A DIGITAL EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH OF THE FRAME BY FRAME PROCESS ΝΙΚΟΣ ΣΥΝΝΟΣ / NICOS SYNNOS Μήπως η ψηφιακή τεχνολογία έχει τυποποιήσει την παραγωγή animation, ή άραγε ο animator έχει πιο ευέλικτα εργαλεία στα χέρια του όσο ποτέ πριν; Η παρουσίαση θα επικεντρωθεί σε πειράματα που αποτελούν μέρος μελέτης της ψηφιακής καρέ - καρέ διαδικασίας παραγωγής animation. Εξερευνώντας τον ψηφιακό χώρο ως ένα αχανές μεταφυσικό πεδίο, η έρευνα έχει ως στόχο να ανακαλύψει τρόπους παραγωγής οπτικών ψευδαισθήσεων της κίνησης που θα προτείνουν νέα κινηματογραφικά είδη προβολής ενσωματωμένα σε μεμονωμένες μονάδες της ταινίας. Θα παρουσιαστούν πειράματα στη συναρμολόγηση του φιλμικού χρόνου αλλά και του κινηματογραφικού καρέ, όπως επίσης και παραδείγματα της εφαρμογής των πειραμάτων αυτών σε φιλμ και βίντεο. Has digital technology standardized animation filmmaking, or does the animator have more flexible tools in his/her hands than ever before? This presentation will focus on experiments as part of a study of the digital frame by frame animation process. By exploring the digital space as a vast metaphysical field, this research aims to discover ways of producing optical illusions of motion that will suggest new cinematic viewing integrated in the very individual units of film. Experiments on the compositing of the filmic time and the film frame will be presented, as well as examples of the application of these experiments in film and video. MORTEN ON THE SHIP OF FOOLS KASPAR JANCIS Ο Μόρτεν στο πλοίο των τρελών (Morten on the Ship of Fools) είναι μια ταινία stop motion από Εσθονούς, Ιρλανδούς και Βέλγους δημιουργούς, βασισμένη στο ομώνυμο βιβλίο και θεατρικό έργο του Kaspar Jancis. Κεντρικός ήρωας είναι ο οχτάχρονος Μόρτεν, ο οποίος παίρνει το μέγεθος εντόμου από το ξόρκι κάποιου αδέξιου μάγου. Έτσι παγιδεύεται πάνω στην ψεύτικη βαρκούλα του. Εκεί όμως πρέπει να αντιμετωπίσει κάποια τρομακτικά έντομα τα οποία έχουν καταλάβει το πλοίο του. Η ταινία δημιουργήθηκε με την κλασική τεχνική stop motion και απευθύνεται σε παιδιά όλων των ηλικιών! Το μεταφορικό της περιεχόμενο την κάνει κατάλληλη και για ενήλικες. Είναι μια περιπέτεια δοσμένη με παραδοσιακό τρόπο, ένα homage σε αγαπημένες ιστορίες όπως Η Αλίκη στη Χώρα των Θαυμάτων, ο Τζέημς και το τεράστιο ροδάκινο, ο Μάγος του Οζ, κλπ. Morten on the Ship of Fools is a stop motion feature made by Estonian, Irish and Belgian animators. It’s based on the book and theatre play by Kaspar Jancis. The film is about Morten who, after being magically shrunken to the size of an insect, gets trapped on his toy boat. There he has to prove himself to cannibalistic insects who have control over his ship. The film is made in classical stop motion technique. It will be a story for children of all ages! Its metaphorical content can speak to an adult audience. It is an adventure film told in the old-school way, a homage to stories like Alice in Wonderland, James and the Giant peach, Wizard Oz etc. MAGIC MOLLY ΜΑΡΙΑ ΠΑΥΛΟΥ / MARIA PAVLOU Το “Magic Molly” είναι μια τηλεοπτική σειρά animation 26 X 7 λεπτά για παιδιά προσχολικής ηλικίας (προ-δημοτικής). Διηγείται τις περιπέτειες μια νεαρής μαθητευόμενης μάγισσας και των δυο φίλων της, του δράκου Vigor και της κουκουβάγιας Sophia. Χρησιμοποιώντας καθημερινά αντικείμενα με μαγικό τρόπο, ψάχνουν για απαντήσεις που βοηθούν το νεαρό ακροατήριο να κατανοήσει συναισθήματα, να εξασκήσει τη φαντασία του και να αναπτύξει την επιθυμία για γνώση. Το project βρίσκεται σε προαναπτυξιακή φάση και πρόκειται να υποβληθεί για χρηματοδότηση από το Creative Europe (Development Fund). “Magic Molly” is a 26 x 7 minute animated TV series for upper preschool (preschool plus). It follows the adventures of a young apprentice witch and her two friends, Vigor the dragon and Sophia the owl. Through the use of everyday objects with a magical twist, they search for answers that help our young audience understand emotions, exercise their imagination and develop a thirst for knowledge. The project is in its predevelopment phase and will soon be submitted for a Creative Europe development fund.
