He began his photo- graphic experiments in 1872, but was forced to interrupt them after shooting and killing his wife’s lover. In 1879, he resumed them on various animals and, starting in 1886, on human subjects. In 1880, he developed the zoogyroscope, for projecting photographs in series, and replaced it in 1889 with an improved version called the zoopraxiscope which was inspired by the work of Émile Reynaud. g N RI Muybridge’S ST — PRESSKIT 3 Koji Yamamura Born in Nagoya in 1964, Koji Yamamura is one of the The winner of the grand prize at the Annecy, leading Japanese independent animation filmmakers.

  • On the Topics and Style of Soviet Animated Films
    BALTIC SCREEN MEDIA REVIEW 2016 / VOLUME 4 / ARTICLE Article On the Topics and Style of Soviet Animated Films ÜLO PIKKOV, Estonian Academy of Arts; email: [email protected] 16 DOI: 10.1515/bsmr-2017-0002 BALTIC SCREEN MEDIA REVIEW 2016 / VOLUME 4 / ARTICLE ABSTRACT This article provides a survey of Soviet animation and analyses the thematic and stylistic course of its develop- ment. Soviet animated film emerged and materialised in synch with the fluctuations of the region’s political climate and was directly shaped by it. A number of trends and currents of Soviet animation also pertain to other Eastern European countries. After all, Eastern Europe constituted an integrated cultural space that functioned as a single market for the films produced across it by filmmakers who interacted in a professional regional network of film education, events, festivals, publications etc. Initially experimental, post-revolutionary Russian ani- mation soon fell under the sway of the Socialist Realist discourse, along with the rest of Soviet art, and quickly crystallised as a didactic genre for children. Disney’s para- digm became its major source of inspiration both in terms of visual style and thematic scope, despite the fact that Soviet Union was regarded as the ideological opposite of the Western way of life and mindset. The Soviet animation industry was spread across different studios and republics that adopted slightly varied production practices and tolerated different degrees of artistic freedom. Studios in the smaller republics, such as Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in particular, stood out for making films that were more ideologically complicated than those produced in Moscow.
