As a young South Korean orphan, Jung is brought into a new world of hope and family values but struggles to understand his past and underlining culture. While mainly an animated dramatization, Approved For Adoption features 8mm home movies of Jung’s childhood and newly shot footage of his recent return visit to birthplace Seoul. L’artiste-auteur Jung raconte son adoption par une famille belge et son acclimatation à un nouveau mode de vie dans cette adaptation autobiographique de la bande-dessinée Couleur de peau: miel. Jeune orphelin sud-coréen, Jung découvre un monde plein d’espoir et apprend les valeurs familiales, mais peine à comprendre ses racines et le décalage culturel qui en découle. Si Approved For Adoption est principalement un drame animé, il intègre aussi des films de famille en 8mm de l’enfance de Jung et des clichés récents de son voyage à Séoul, dans son pays d’origine

They encounter a number of characters populating the post-Yugoslav indie cultural scene. As the journey continues through increasingly improbable surroundings, the protagonists begin to question themselves and the reality they find themselves in. Watching border controls turn into improvised snapshot sessions, admiring mutant iron-curtain Disney toys, buying souvenir grenade shell handicrafts and discovering sniper art in blown-out apartments, they find that truth may indeed be stranger than fiction. Pour promouvoir leur livre Bosnian Flat Dog, les dessinateurs de bande-dessinée suédois Max Andersson and Lars Sjunnesson ont parcouru les pays de l’ex-Yougoslavie avec une fausse momie réfrigérée de l’ancien dictateur Tito. Ils ont pu y rencontrer de nombreuses figures de la scène culturelle indépendante de l’ex-Yougoslavie. Alors que leur périple se poursuit dans un univers de plus en plus improbable, les protagonistes se questionnent sur eux-mêmes et sur la réalité dans laquelle ils se trouvent. Regarder des postes de frontières se transforme alors en séances de photos improvisées: Les jouets Disney mutants du rideau de fer, les souvenirs artisanaux à partir de coquilles de grenades, ou encore l’art des snipers dans les appartements en ruine, les amènent à constater que la vérité est en effet plus étrange que la fiction.

It’s Such A Beautiful Day is a compilation of three short films about the story of Bill: Everything Will Be Ok, I Am So Proud Of You and the same-titled It’s Such A Beautiful Day are re-edited into one complete story of life, death and beyond.
The hidden soul of Buenos Aires is revealed with humour, tango and emotion through the subtle eyes of Argentina’s most outstanding animators and graphic artists.
The imagination of Don Hertzfeldt could be considered an animation treasure; while visually simple, Bill’s experiences in the ups and downs of humanity are complex and thought provoking. Within Bill’s stick figure lies a loveable soul that will pull at your emotions in an unsuspecting way. It’s Such A Beautiful Day est une compilation de trois courts métrages sur l’histoire de Bill: Everything Will Be Ok, I Am So Proud Of You et le dernier éponyme It’s Such A Beautiful Day ont été réédités en une seule et même histoire sur la vie, la mort et l’au-delà. L’imagination de Don Hertzfeldt peut être considérée comme un petit bijou de l’animation. Tout en restant visuellement très épurées, Les péripéties de Bill, les meilleures comme les pires, sont complexes et provocantes. A l’intérieur de la silhouette filiforme de Bill se trouve une âme adorable, qui vous touchera d’une manière totalement inattendue.
This is a feature animation film made up of four episodes, reflecting each one a different profile, a unique place of this magical city, with the main role of tango, as music and as dance. 2D animation, collage and photomontage, stop motion, and stencils, are combined with an exquisite handling of humour, absurd and poetry, to create an extraordinary plastic and conceptually rich movie. L’âme cachée de Buenos Aires se révèle dans un film empreint d’humour, de tango et d’émotion, par l’interprétation subtile des artistes les plus remarquables de l’animation et de l’art graphique d’Argentine. C’est un long métrage composé de quatre épisodes, reflétant chacun une dimension à part entière, un lieu unique de cette ville enchanteresse, avec le tango comme élément central, comme musique et danse. De l’animation en 2D, image par image, du collage, du photomontage, des pochoirs ont été combinés avec un sens de l’humour irrésistible, de l’absurde, de la poésie, pour créer un film extraordinairement riche au niveau plastique et conceptuel.

The Christies and their cohorts return in the third and final chapter of Mr. Christie’s strange life. Pain and The Pity features the family and a few familiar faces involved in various antics this time set in Soho.
A mysterious fog settles over the city as a disoriented cosmonaut desperately attempts escape. He finds himself in a Groundhog Day scenario: a series of re-occurring events with the same individuals who, along with each situation, change in every encounter.
The bizarre Christie trilogy began with The Christies, followed by Goodbye Mr. Christie: both were awarded the Grand Prix prize at previous Ottawa festivals. Mulloy’s style is crude and simplistic, yet opens the field for the audience to use their imaginations in further completing the visuals.
Zoltán Sóstai’s futuristic tale glimmers with subtle inspiration from tech noir cinema such as The Black Hole and Blade Runner and boasts incredible digital effects that create the illusion of a live action adventure.
Les Christies et leurs acolytes sont de retour pour le troisième et dernier chapitre de l’étrange vie de M. Christie. The Pain and The Pity met en scène la famille au complet et d’autres personnages familiers dans de multiples pitreries, qui se déroulent cette fois à Soho. La trilogie loufoque de Christie a débuté avec The Christies, suivie par Goodbye Mr. Christie: les deux ont reçu le Grand Prix lors des éditions précédentes de notre festival. Le style de Mulloy, brut et simple, fait appel à l’imagination du public pour compléter davantage les visuels.
Alors qu’un mystérieux brouillard s’installe dans toute la ville, un cosmonaute désorienté tente de s’en échapper. Il se retrouve dans un scénario semblable à celui du Jour de la marmotte: une série d’évènements se reproduit en boucle, avec les mêmes individus, qui changent à chaque rencontre. Ce conte futuriste de Zoltán Sóstai se démarque en s’inspirant du cinéma de science-fiction noir comme Le Trou noir et Blade Runner et se fait fort d’effets spéciaux incroyables qui créent l’illusion d’un film d’aventure en prise de vue réelle.

Samedi 21 septembre 21h15 (Théâtre Empire – World Exchange Plaza) Always looking on the bright side of life, the Python group returns in full with a humorous, animated dramatization (we hope) of deceased member Graham Chapman’s life. A Liar’s Autobiography adapts the 1980 book of the same name released a year after Chapman’s death and utilizes newly discovered recordings of the late Python for an adventure that only he could lead. Dead parrots and silly walking aside, the Python gang travels through several forms of animation while recounting stories from Chapman’s childhood, rambunctious sexual endeavours, and Royal Family oddities. En prenant toujours le bon côté de la vie, Les Monty Pythons sont de retour avec un drame animé plein d’humour (on l’espère) retraçant la vie de leur regretté partenaire Graham Chapman. L’autobiographie d’un menteur est adaptée du livre éponyme de 1980, écrit un an après le décès de Chapman et utilise des enregistrements récemment découverts des Monty Python, pour créer une aventure que lui seul peut incarner. Allant du Sketch du perroquet aux bêtises loufoques, la troupe des Monty Python voyage à travers différents type d’animation en retraçant les histoires d’enfance de Chapman, ses expériences sexuelles houleuses et les curiosités de la famille royale.

THE BOY AND THE WORLD (O MENINO E O MUNDO)
Samedi 21 septembre, 13h00 (Théâtre Empire – World Exchange Plaza) Enter the whimsy of a small child named Cuca who is fascinated by all that the quiet countryside offers. His cozy life is shattered when his father leaves for the city, prompting Cuca to embark on a quest to re-unite his family. What the boy isn’t prepared for is a new world of industrialism and modern technology. Cuca’s lush, ripe homestead of fields and forests differ in tranquillity compared to the large, claustrophobic metropolis. Ale Abreu perfectly contrasts both worlds by usage of colour, noise, and perspective through the eyes of a curious yet determined child. Entrez dans l’univers fantaisiste d’un petit garçon nommé Cuca, fasciné par le monde paisible de la campagne. Sa petite vie douillette prend fin lorsque son père part pour la grande ville, embarquant avec lui Cuca dans une quête pour réunir sa famille. Mais le garçon ne s’était pas préparé, à ce nouveau monde industriel et centré sur la technologie. La tranquillité des forêts luxuriantes et des champs odorants de Cuca diffèrent en tout point de la grande métropole étouffante. Ale Abreu dépeint parfaitement le contraste entre ces deux mondes par l’usage de la couleur, du son, et de la perspective à travers les yeux de cet enfant curieux et déterminé.

Follow Arjun’s path to becoming an undefeated hero and impeccable bowman as he battles against tyrants of the same blood and restores order to the kingdom. Arjun: The Warrior Prince may appear to be a traditional prince story but isn’t scared to veer off the path with graphic battle scenes and a more mature storyline that stays truthful to the original Indian epic.

Suivez le parcours d’Arjun et regardez-le devenir un héros invaincu et un archer hors pairs au fil de ses batailles contre les tyrans de son propre sang pour rétablir l’ordre dans le royaume. Arjun: Le prince guerrier peut s’apparenter à une histoire traditionnelle de prince, mais sort en réalité des sentiers battus avec des scènes de bataille graphiques et un scénario plus mature qui retrace fidèlement l’épopée indienne originale.

Oscar-winning stop motion animator, Adam Elliot (Mary and Max, Harvie Krumpet, Uncle, Brother, Cousin) has produced a comic, emotional and contemplative body of work that challenges viewer’s perceptions of mental illness. In his self-described, “clayographies”, Elliot’s misfit protagonists are not judged. Instead, through Elliot’s objective eyes we see them merely as different, not better, not worse, just different. These ‘misfits’ can frustrate, scare and confuse, but they can also display a humility, creativity, imagination and compassion that make Elliot’s films stand out, earning them countless awards including OIAF’s Grand Prize for Best Animated Picture for Mary and Max in 2009. Adam Elliot will be in attendance.
Chris Sullivan is animation’s dark poet. His films (e.g. Master of Ceremonies, Landscape of Icarus, Consuming Spirits) show us the world as it is, not how we imagine it to be. One that is neither heroic or beautiful, nor exceptionally ugly or evil. This is not your typical animation world of animals, dick jokes, or abstract non-figurative symbolic blah blah blahs about wallowing artists. Sullivan’s working class characters struggle daily against poverty, abuse, death, madness, want and despair. But Sullivan is no preacher or social activist. His blunt, bare and unpretentious films aim, not to shock, but to engage us, to simply show us a world that most of us deny living in. Sullivan will be in attendance.
L’animateur d’images par images oscarisé, Adam Elliot (Mary and Max, Harvie Krumpet, Uncle, Brother, Cousin) est l’auteur d’œuvres comiques, émouvantes et contemplatives qui invitent le spectateur à modifier sa perception des maladies mentales. Dans ses œuvres qu’il qualifie de « clayographies », les personnages hors-normes d’Elliot ne sont soumis à aucun jugement. A l’inverse, la vision objective d’Elliot nous propose de les considérer d’une autre manière, ni meilleurs, ni pires, simplement différents. Ces « marginaux » peuvent nous frustrer, nous effrayer ou nous étonner, mais ils révèlent également de l’humilité, de la créativité, de l’imagination, de la compassion et permettent aux films d’Elliot de se démarquer. Il a remporté d’innombrables récompenses, dont le Grand Prix du Long métrage d’animation d’Ottawa pour Mary et Max en 2009. Adam Elliot sera présent à cette occasion.
Chris Sullivan est le poète noir de l’animation. Ses films (c.f. Master of Ceremonies et Landscape of Icarus ainsi que le long-métrage, Consuming Spirits loué par les critiques) nous montrent le monde tel qu’il est, et non pas tel que nous l’imaginons. Celui-ci n’est ni fantastique ni beau, ni même laid ou diabolique. Ce n’est pas ce monde animé typique composé d’animaux, de blagues vulgaires ou encore de blablas abstraits et métaphoriques d’artistes complaisants. Les personnages de la classe ouvrière de Sullivan se battent jour après jour contre la pauvreté, la violence, la mort, la folie, le désir et le désespoir. Mais Sullivan n’est pas pour autant un prêcheur ou un activiste. Ses films bruts, directs et sans prétention, ne cherchent pas à choquer mais plutôt à inciter le spectateur à s’engager en dépeignant un monde que la plupart d’entre nous renions. Chris Sullivan sera présent à cette occasion.

GERRIT VAN DIJK MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY / PUBLIC AVERTI SEULEMENT
Thursday, September 19, 9:15pm (National Gallery) Saturday, September 21, 7:00pm (National Gallery) Sunday, September 22, 1:00pm (ByTowne Cinema) Jeudi 19 septembre, 21h15 (Musée des beaux-arts) Samedi 21 septembre 19h00 (Musée des beaux-arts) Dimanche 22 septembre, 13h00 (Cinéma ByTowne) Considered a great pioneer for Dutch animation, Gerrit van Dijk began his career with a strong background in painting and fine arts. He found it only natural to move on to animation in 1971 with It’s Good in Heaven. Particularly in the first half of the film career, Van Dijk was a committed filmmaker who, in the tradition of the 1960s, exposed social abuses. Using several different techniques throughout his career including the image-by-mage technique, he considered his works moving paintings. In May 2012, he was told he was terminally ill and his days were numbered. Even in this short period, he took as much from life as he could. He made a single drawing every day during his final months, which led to the short animation film Last Picture Show. He passed away in December 2012. Considéré comme l’un des grands pionniers de l’animation néerlandaise, Gerrit van Dijk a entamé sa carrière après avoir suivi une solide formation de peinture aux beaux-arts. Il se tourne naturellement vers l’animation en 1971 avec It’s Good in Heaven. Durant la première moitié de sa carrière cinématographique, Van Dijk se positionne, dans la mouvance des années 1960, comme un réalisateur engagé en abordant les questions de société et ses travers. Tout au long de sa carrière, il utilise différentes techniques dont celle de l’image par image, il qualifie son travail de « tableaux animés ». En mai 2012, diagnostiqué en phase terminale d’une maladie incurable ses jours sont comptés. Mais même durant cette courte période, il profite au maximum de la vie en dessinant un dessin par jour, qui aboutira au court-métrage d’animation Last Picture Show. Il est décédé en décembre 2012.

SPANISH SNIPERS PRESENTED BY THE EMBASSY OF SPAIN RECOMMENDED FOR 14+ / SUGGÉRÉ POUR PLUS 14 ANS ET PLUS

It’s tough to think about contemporary animation from a national perspective without falling into clichés… What’s more “Spanish”, the candy world of American Wreck-it Ralph inspired by Gaudi’s architecture, or Spanish Oscar nominee Chico and Rita with all Cuban references and the beautiful drawings of Javier Mariscal? The films presented in this screening dig beyond the clichés and represent a personal approach to animation, singular and true to each of the artists. Malgré la crise et le climat, l’Espagne est le berceau de belles œuvres. Heureusement les talentueux artistes indépendants de ce pays qui ne bénéficie que d’un léger soutien des institutions pour la production d’animation, les outils numériques d’image par image sont désormais entre les mains d’auteurs provenant d’autres champs artistiques. C’est toujours difficile de penser à l’histoire de l’animation contemporaine d’un pays sans tomber dans les clichés…Qu’est-ce qui est plus « espagnol » que l’univers coloré du film américain Les Mondes de Ralph, directement inspiré de l’architecture de Gaudi, ou que le nominé aux Oscars Chico et Rita, rempli de références cubaines et les magnifiques esquisses de Javier Mariscal ? Les films présentés lors de cette séance vont audelà des idées reçues en proposant une approche personnelle de l’animation, singulière et propre à chacun des artistes

WELCOME TO KANATA: WORKS BY FIRST NATIONS, MÉTIS AND INUIT ARTISTS RECOMMENDED FOR 14+ / SUGGÉRÉ POUR PLUS 14 ANS ET PLUS
Thursday, September 19, 11:00am (Arts Court Theatre) Friday, September 20, 7:00pm (Arts Court Theatre) Sunday, September 22, 11:00am, (National Gallery) Jeudi 19 septembre, 11h00 (Cour des Arts – Théâtre) Vendredi 20 septembre, 19h00 (Cour des Arts – Théâtre) Dimanche 22 septembre, 11h00 (Musée des beaux-arts) From Warner Brothers’ pre-WWII version of Little Hiawatha to Disney’s Pocahontas (1995); representations of Indigenous people within cartoons and mainstream animated films have largely been based on racist notions which have engrained into the minds of audiences offensive pan-Indian stereotypes such as the noble savage, the Squaw and the Indian princess. Indigenous self-expression pushes back against this long-standing colonial gaze by dispelling misrepresentations while contributing to Indigenous empowerment and self-determination. Indigenous animators, within the nation state of Canada, are creating works that are groundbreaking in content, form and methodology. The OIAF is excited to celebrate the diverse talents of Indigenous animators by presenting a selection of shorts made by both emerging and established First Nations, Métis and Inuit artists. Du Little Hiawatha de Warner Bros (dans sa version d’avant– guerre), au Pocahontas de Disney (1995): les représentations des peuples autochtones à travers les cartoons et les films d’animation grand public se sont largement basées sur des clichés racistes enracinés dans les esprits des spectateurs comme le bon sauvage, la squaw ou la princesse indienne. Mais les moyens d’expression individuels autochtones repoussent la vision coloniale archaïque en gommant ces représentations déformées et en contribuant à l’habilitation et à l’autonomie des Indigènes. Les animateurs aborigènes du territoire canadien sont à l’origine de projets avantgardistes tant au niveau du contenu, que de la forme ou de la méthodologie utilisée. Le FIAO est impatient de célébrer la diversité de talents de ces auteurs en présentant une sélection de courtsmétrages réalisés par des artistes amérindiens, métisses et Inuits, émergents et reconnus.

Thursday, September 19, 9:15pm (Arts Court Theatre) Friday, September 20, 9:15pm (National Gallery) Saturday, September 21, 3:00pm (Arts Court Theatre) Jeudi 19 septembre, 21h15 (Cour des Arts – Théâtre) Vendredi 20 septembre, 21h15 (Musée des beaux-arts) Samedi 21 septembre, 15h00 (Cour des Arts – Théâtre) No matter how many prizes, accolades, interviews, or millions any of us get in our careers as filmmakers, we all started at the humblest of beginnings, at zero. We were all students or apprentices to our art before we became masters. But in all of the most successful of us, there was even back then, in our beardless youth, the shimmering foreshadowing of future success. This program of some of the most promising of student works from the archives reminds us that our student films can be our most liberating expressions, and can be harbingers of greatness to come. And they’ll remind others of where some of the best ideas and talents have always come from; the gloriously fecund creativity of young artists. Peu importe le nombre de prix, d’accolades, d’entrevues, ou d’argent que chacun de nous a eu au cours de nos carrières de réalisateurs, nous sommes tous humblement partis de zéro. Nous avons tous été étudiants, apprentis, avant de passer maitre en la matière. Et même parmi les plus brillants d’entre nous, il y a eu à l’époque, lors de nos années pré-pubères, l’espoir chimérique d’un succès futur. Ce programme compilant les archives des projets d’étudiants les plus prometteurs, nous donne à penser que les films d’étudiants peuvent être notre moyen d’expression le plus libérateur et annonciateur d’un génie naissant. Ils nous rappellent également que les meilleures idées et talents naissent toujours grâce à la créativité féconde de jeunes artistes.

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2 SUITABLE FOR ALL AGES/ CONVIENT POUR TOUT PUBLIC PLEASE LEAVE CELL PHONES AND RECORDING DEVICES AT HOME AS THEY MAY BE CHECKED BY SECURITY.
Thursday, September 19, 6:15pm (ByTowne Cinema) Jeudi 19 septembre, 18h15 (Cinéma ByTowne) Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 picks up where Sony Pictures Animation’s 2009 hit comedy left off. Inventor Flint Lockwood’s genius is finally being recognized as he’s invited by his idol Chester V to join The Live Corp Company, where the best and brightest inventors in the world create technologies for the betterment of mankind. Chester’s right-hand-gal - and one of his greatest inventions – is Barb, a highly evolved orangutan with a human brain who is also sassy and likes to wear lipstick. It’s always been Flint’s dream to be recognized as a great inventor, but everything changes when he discovers that his most infamous machine (which turns water into food) is still operating and is now creating food-animal hybrids – “foodimals!” With the fate of humanity in his hands, Chester sends Flint and his friends on a dangerously delicious mission – to battle hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees, hippotatomuses, cheespiders and other food creatures to save the world again! Directed by Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn. Screenplay by Erica Rivinoja and John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein. Story by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller and Erica Rivinoja. Inspired by the book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs written by Judi Barrett and illustrated by Ron Barrett. Produced by Pam Marsden and Kirk Bodyfelt.

CM Le bras droit de Chester – qui est l’une de ses inventions majeures MY est Barb, un orang-outan impertinent très évolué doté d’un cerveau humain, qui adore porter du rouge à lèvres. Flint a toujours rêvé de CY devenir un inventeur de renom, mais tout change lorsqu’il découvre CMY que sa machine la plus infâme (qui transforme l’eau en nourriture) K est toujours en activité et crée des hybrides entre aliments et animaux - “les miam-nimaux!” Avec le destin de l’humanité entre ses mains, Chester envoie Flint et ses amis dans une dangereuse et succulente mission - pour combattre croq’méduses affamées, gambabouins, hippopotomates, fromaraignées et autres créatures alimentaires, pour sauver à nouveau le monde ! Réalisé par Cody Cameron et Kris Pearn. Scénario: Erica Rivinoja et John Francis Daley et Jonathan Goldstein. Histoire de Phil Lord, Christopher Miller et Erica Rivinoja.

L’animation par ordinateur n’a pas commencé seulement avec Pixar. Sito nous montre comment cinquante ans de travail de cette équipe hétéroclite ont mené à la création de films comme Toy Story et Avatar.

Saturday, September 21, 10:15am (Saint Brigid’s) samedi 21 septembre, 10h15 (Saint Brigid’s) The Blue Umbrella director Saschka Unseld will talk about where ideas come from, what is at the core of the stories we tell, and how a story will and should change during production. Unseld will discuss where his initial idea for The Blue Umbrella came from and how he tried to shape this idea into a story by finding out what the story meant to him on a personal and emotional level. He will give the exact story pitch that he gave to Pixar then show excerpts of the different stages of production: story reel, layout and animation. He will explain where and why story changes were made and how he made these changes without losing the core of his initial idea. In the last part he will focus on how knowing the emotional core of his story helped to drive and push the artistry in all the technical aspects and departments of his film. By using The Blue Umbrella as an example, Unseld hopes to impart lessons that will apply to all filmmakers striving to tell emotionally driven stories. Le réalisateur de The Blue Umbrella, Saschka Unseld, parlera de l’origine des idées, de ce qui alimente les histoires, et de la manière dont une histoire change au cours de sa production. Unseld nous dévoilera d’où lui est venue l’idée de the Blue Umbrella et comment il a essayé de la façonner pour en faire une histoire qui lui correspond tant sur le plan personnel et qu’émotionnel. Il nous présentera son projet de la même façon qu’il l’a fait devant Pixar puis montrera des extraits des différentes étapes de la production: la démo, les esquisses et l’animation. Il expliquera à quel niveau et pourquoi l’histoire a subi des changements et comment ils ont été mis en œuvre en conservant l’esprit d’origine. Enfin, il reviendra sur l’importance de maitriser le noyau émotionnel d’une histoire, et expliquera comment le sien a influencé le traitement technique et artistique de son film. En s’appuyant sur l’exemple de the Blue Umbrella, Unseld espère donner des conseils que tout cinéaste souhaitant raconter des histoires pleines d’émotions, pourra s’approprier.

THE IRON DEVELOPER RECOMMENDED FOR 8+/ SUGGÉRÉ POUR PLUS 8 ANS ET PLUS
Saturday, September 21, 12:45pm (Saint Brigid’s) samedi 21 septembre, 12h45 (Saint Brigid’s) A live development exercise where an artist/writer creative team tweaks a concept based on real-time curve-balls thrown at them by a development person. Starting out with a character and logline, a development executive will put the creatives through the paces of aging it up, making it gender-neutral, adding a secondscreen component, scaling the animation back to fit a budget cut, etc. This is an exercise to give an idea of what happens in the real world to the concepts that come in the door. Moderated by Dave Skwarczek, President and Creative Director at Eat Your Lunch, an LA based broadcast and digital media studio. Un exercice en direct où un membre de l’équipe créative doit montrer sa capacité à rebondir à une demande lancée par la production. En partant d’un personnage et d’un synopsis, l’animateur épurera son travail au fur et à mesure pour parvenir à un résultat neutre, sans âge, ni genre ou sexe. Il recyclera des éléments existants pour remodeler son personnage et simplifiera son animation en fonction des réductions budgétaires, etc. Cet exercice donne un aperçu des changements que peuvent subir les idées originales au cours de leur réalisation. Animée par Dave Skwarczek, président et directeur de la création à Eat Your Lunch, un studio de distribution et de création numérique basé à L.A.

The OIAF’s contribution to Nuit Blanche is Hello Amiga by the Toronto Animated Image Society (TAIS). TAIS commissioned six Canadian artists to create animations by exploring Amiga computers. These machines were popularized for graphics and image generation in the 1980s and early 1990s. The artists have created captivating works that promote necessary critical discourse around animation, ponder the history of recent technologies and embrace new manipulations of old processes.

La contribution du FIAO à la Nuit Blanche est Hello Amiga par la Toronto Animated Image Society (TAIS). TAIS a mandaté six artistes canadiens pour créer des animations sur des ordinateurs Amiga. Ces machines sont devenues populaires pour le graphisme et la PAO dans les années 1980 et au début des années 1990. Les artistes de la TAIS ont créé des œuvres captivantes qui encouragent la réflexion critique sur l’animation, l’histoire des nouvelles technologies et la réappropriation des outils traditionnels.
