2017 ASIFA-IAD Report ASIFA International Animation Day Report 2017 1 ASIFA International Animation Day Report 2017 2 ASIFA INTERNATIONAL ANIMATION DAY 2017 Photos: ASIFA Poland, ASIFA China, and ASIFA Croatia ASIFA created the International Animation Day (IAD) in 2002 to honor the birth of animation. October 28th was chosen in recognition of the first public performance of projected moving images: Emile Reynaud’s Theatre Optique in Paris, in 1892. ASIFA coordinates and helps promote IAD celebrations all over the world, putting the art of animation in the limelight in a global worldwide celebration of animation. IAD offers us the opportunity to connect with animators and share animation across borders, across cultures, across languages - to celebrate our humanity through the art of animation. ASIFA International Animation Day Report 2017 3 INTRODUCTION: Interim Coordinator R. Brad Yarhouse I am honored and excited that I have been asked by the Deanna Morse and the board to act as interim International Animation Day coordinator for the international ASIFA organization. I want to give my thanks to Vanessa Ventura of ASIFA Portugal for many years of service as the previous coordinator of IAD. I would also like to thank Noureddin Zarrinkelk and Negar Zarrinkelk for their wonderful poster for 2017. I have been coordinating IAD for the Central USA chapter since 2012 and was recently made President of ASIFA Central. My goal as coordinator for the central chapter has always been two fold, first to provide an opportunity for members of ASIFA Central to participate in celebrating the animation artform by showing their current animation. A ‘snapshot’ of the artists, vision, and the talent that makes up our region of the world. My vision is of a world of animators each of us with our talents, desires, various skill levels from amateur to professional coming together on one day to celebrate our love of the crafted moving medium of animation. IAD is a chance to celebrate and inspire one another. Which, gets to my second goal, to participate for a moment in the global village that is our planet. Few organizations of artist span the globe through so many economic, social, cultural, and political realms as does ASIFA. In our celebration of International Animation Day, for a moment we are truly a community without borders and without fear. It is a day when large and small groups of artists share and inspire one another. It is a day that makes me proud to belong to a group that crosses so many obstacles to celebrate our shared art and humanity. I believe that the greatest need in this world is to stop fearing our differences, and to celebrate and share in the richness of our variety. International animation day is a seed planted each year in defiance of fear. I thank you for the opportunity to be considered for this position, I am like many of you very busy, but International Animation Day is very important to me. I don't consider this position lightly. I recognize the amount of work and grace involved when working with so many people from so many different backgrounds. But, I believe in this community and its ability to make the world a better place. After all, this is the reason I make art. Sincerely, To participate in IAD 2018, please contact Brad at [email protected] ​ If you wish to be included in the 2018 report, please send information about your 2018 IAD celebrations to ​ ​ [email protected] before December 1, 2018. ​ ​ ​ More information on IAD can be found at www.asifa.net ​ ASIFA International Animation Day Report 2017 4 ASIFA INTERNATIONAL ANIMATION DAY 2017 We had a number of chapters that were involved with International Animation Day Celebrations in 2017.

  • An Analysis of the Circumstances and Factors That Have Influenced the Development of Animation Industry in Iran in the 1960-2002 Periods Naser Golmohammadi
    Environment Conservation Journal 16 (SE ) 61-77, 2015 ISSN 0972-3099 (Print) 2278-5124 (Online) Abstracted and Indexed An analysis of the circumstances and factors that have influenced the development of Animation Industry in Iran in the 1960-2002 periods Naser Golmohammadi Received:25.05.2015 Revised:26.06.2015 Accepted:28.08.2015 Abstract In the early part of 20th century animation emerged as a revolutionary way of making art. It evolved into a powerful means of expression and creativity of artists who could merge all art genres into one art form. The subsequent developments of animation have opened its diverse uses in entertainment business, education and political propaganda. This article attempts to examine the factors that have influenced and shaped the development of animation industry in Iran. It takes a historical view and investigates the impacts of changing socio-economic and political forces that have determined the functions of animation in the Iranian society. The study traces the establishment of the industry to the government-run centres, describing the pioneering role of artists who gave rise to the ‘golden age’ of animation in the pre-revolutionary Iran. Especial attention is throughout paid to the long and rich cultural and artistic heritages, as the thematic basis for indigenously produced animated films in Iran. The growth of the industry is considered in conjuncture with the expansion of feature films cinema and expansion of television networks. The latter is particularly important for the fact that it provides a secured market for a sizeable audience of children and young people in Iran.
