    FILM AT REDCAT PRESENTS Mon Sept 27 | 8:30 pm Jack H. Skirball Series $9 [students $7, CalArts $5] THE BEST OF OTTAWA 2009 This selection of 12 outstanding films from the Ottawa International Animation Festival 2009, most of which are Los Angeles premieres, reflects the vitality of experimental animation today and includes work from Canada, England, Estonia, France, Germany, Poland, and the United States. Each filmmaker demonstrates a passion for telling stories, whether abstract or figurative, and the works showcase the rich possibilities of animation as personal art. Films include Eric Dyer’s mesmerizing The Bellow’s March, Diego Maclean’s haunting The Art of Drowning, and David OReilly’s sci-fi drama Please Say Something, as well as works by Jake Armstrong, Bastien Dubois, Julian Grey, Rao Heidmets, Stephen Irwin, Gary Leib, Ian Miller, Marv Newland, and Michal Socha. Two new films by American animators who continue to delight, disturb, and enlighten— Myth Labs by Martha Colburn and Presentation Theme by Jim Trainor—will also be screened. In person: Suzan Pitt, Ottawa International Animation Festival jury member “Martha Colburn’s animations charge the frame with such ferocity that it almost hurts to watch… Tacitly these unconscious imaginings give rise to strikingly clear associations, which is why the work is so illuminating—not just for its ideational and aesthetic lushness but for its approach.” – Dena Beard, Berkeley Art museum/Pacific Film Archive Program (TRT 81 min.)

  • Festival Runway, Limp Into the Air (Barely Missing the Trees) and Splutter up Into the Clouds
    1 DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE Malcolm Turner Greetings to fans, first-timers and the animatedly curious. DIRECTOR Despite the crazed improbability of it all, MIAF is still here doing its thing. It certainly suffers from the so-called ‘bumble bee’ syndrome. That is to say, on paper there’s no way Melbourne International you can prove it will fly. Somehow though, Air MIAF has found a way to bump down the Animation Festival runway, limp into the air (barely missing the trees) and splutter up into the clouds. Dunno how we do it, to be honest. It certainly wouldn’t happen without the support of ACMI, Screen Australia and each and every one of the sponsors. Nor would it happen without the core crew who give up a great deal of their time and varying slivers of their sanity to make this thing work. And it definitely wouldn’t happen without the filmmakers. It surprises alot of people (including me sometimes) just how many short animated films are being made. We get over 2,000 entries every year and the vast majority of them are made for the simple reason that somebody has felt compelled to create them – in much the same way that a painter feels compelled to paint a picture or a playwright feels compelled to create an imaginary universe, populated with a fictional tribe who have something on their mind they want to share. Animation, as a technological achievement, surrounds us and is woven into so many elements of our daily lives. It is a workhorse technology that is pressed into service by any number of plump jockeys who vie for our scarce and shattered attentions as we go through our day.

  • The Best of Annecy '81
    The Museum of Modern Art Department of Film 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart NO. 67 For Immediate Release September 30, 1981 ANIMATION THE BEST OF ANNECY '81 The annual International Festival of Animated Film is held, in alternating years, in Annecy, France, and in Zagreb and Ottawa. It has become a tradition for The Department of Film to exhibit, each year, a selection of the best animated films from the Festival, representing an informative panorama of recent developments in the field of animation. THE BEST OF ANNECY at MoMA is a rare occasion to see films that are not easily accessible to the general public. From the 13th International Festival of Animated Film, THE BEST OF ANNECY will present 22 films in 2 programs, running in MoMA's Roy and Niuta Titus Auditorium October 15, 16, and 17. Ten countries are represented: Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Poland, U.S.A., France, German Democratic Republic, Canada, Italy, Hungary and Sweden. Techniques used in the films include traditional frame-by-frame eel animation, pixilation, clay animation, cut-outs, puppets, and line drawings. Newcomers to animation will be presented along with such vet­ eran animators as Jiri Brdecka (Czech), Guido Manuli (Italy), and Faith Hubley (New York). Independent American animators are well represented with films by Larry Jordan, Will Vinton, David Erlich, George Griffin and Hubley. THE BEST OF ANNECY will include several prizewinners from the An­ necy Festival '81: The Grand Prize winner, TANGO (Zbigniew Rybczynski, Poland); winners of the Special Jury Prize, SKYSCRAPER (Josko Marusic, Yugloslavia) and CRAC (Frederic Back, Canada); the International Critics' Prize winner, THE SUMMER CAMP (Birgitta Jansson, Sweden); and the prize winner for children's film, SING BEAST SING (Marv Newland, Canada).

Time never seems to stand still at LIAF HQ, though sometimes we wish it did. Writing this introduction to the festival is like a sort-of taking stock for me. A time to reflect on the year that’s been. Moving LIAF two months later in the year (and into ‘festival season’ as everyone keeps telling me) is probably the biggest change for us this year. Out of late Summer and into early Autumn, where the nights are drawing in. Will that mean more people will be wanting to gather inside the warm, darkened spaces of the cinema? Let us see. We hope so, for once again we have scoured the globe and feasted on 2,300 + little animated gems from around the world in order to craft the festival that you see before your beady eyes. 277 films from 36 countries, and the usual broad mix of everything from scratch films, pinscreen, time-slice, live-action/animation hybrids, puppet, clay, drawn, scribbled and a whole lotta’ “how the hell have they done that?” films.
