Over One Hundred Years of Spanish Animation is a response to the desire to showcase a little known history—that of Spanish animation cinema. Films like Chico & Rita (Javier Mariscal, Fernando Trueba y Tono Errando, 2010), Las aventuras de Tadeo Jones (Enrique Gato, 2012) or Pos Eso (Sam, 2014) have put Spanish animation on the international map, but these examples are just the tip of the iceberg of the talent and years of hard work involved in creating art and industry, in some cases against all the odds. This cycle is the result of a task of research, revision and recovery of historical material in dialogue with more recent works. From Doodles to Pixels is a coproduction of the CCCB and AC/E that brings together a selection of films animated using diverse techniques that represent turbulent times ranging from the early twentieth century to the present day. It features recurring themes such as links with the world of comic books, reflections of political concerns and dialogue with the visual arts. It’s a story with lots of gaps and isolated landmarks (Europe’s first animated colour feature was Garbancito de la Mancha), dotted with forgotten works; for years, it seemed as though Spanish animation hardly existed. This programme shows that nothing could be further from the truth. Great care has been taken to choose works representing each time period and trend, as well as highlighting Spain’s idiosyncrasy with all its cultural diversity. 4 Format AND FILM PROGRAMME CONTENTS_ The film programme, curated by Carolina López, charts a course through a selection of the landmark works of Spanish animation of all times. The cycle includes historic films (from 1908 to the end of the dictatorship in 1975) and contemporary shorts (from 1975 to the present day). This has involved the restoration and digitization of works that were previously “invisible” because of their condition or the difficulty of accessing them, using the best possible materials in each case. The travelling film programme includes 63 works by different filmmakers, plus a selection of 17 commercials by Estudios Moro, and comprises six sessions of short films, with an approximate duration of 70 minutes and two sessions of feature films. The programme comes with a triple DVD-digipack accompanied by a booklet with texts by the curator and other experts, and full information about the works and authors represented (in English and in Spanish). The touring cycle will be available from June 2015 to June 2018. All the films in the original version with Spanish and English subtitles ‘La doncella guerrera’, 5 julio Taltavull, 1974 Session 1. DOODLES_ (Duration: 81 min) The programme starts out with a short by Segundo de Chomón, the illustrious pioneer who worked in Spain, France and Italy. His short The Gold Spider is one of the most admirable pieces in his filmography with some stunning animation sequences for the time. Some vintage promotional spots using nitrate film were collected for this event, like Radio RCA (around 1935) by Enrique Ferrán, created in Barcelona during the Second Spanish Republic. A few ads by the productive Mr. Serra I Massana and other more satirical unknown artists, La bronca and Cambó i l’autonomia (around 1918), were also restored. These films demonstrate the strength of on-screen graphic humour. K-Hito (En los pasillos del congreso, 1932) and José Escobar (El fakir González) were both writers and directors. During this period, political, social comics were all the rage. Later, Javier Mariscal (Chico & Rita) and Calpurnio Pisón, two other popular contemporary cartoonists, started making animation films based on their trademark characters Los Garriris and Cuttlas.

UNDER ThE YOKE_ (Duration: 68 min) To carry out this project, the Balet y Blay studios brought in cartoonist Arturo Moreno and handed over the script to Julián Pemartín, author of Teoría de la Falange. Garbancito is a young Catholic orphan boy who lives in a barn with his goat Peregrina. One day, the ogre Caravaca kidnaps his friends and just like Don Quixote, he courageously sets off to save them. Even though the film is influenced by the Fleischer brothers and Disney’s Silly Symphonies, the soundtrack composed by Jacinto Guerrero gives it a typically Spanish edge. The film was popular before it even hit the screens, due to the tale written by the same two authors. It was also given a higher budget than live action films made at the time, which was quickly recouped through its range of by-products. Shot in Barcelona with a crew of professionals who were learning as they went along, the film was sent to London for editing. The rolls of film then flew over the blood and fires of Europe one more time, escaping the bombardments, and the feature was released in theatres in 1945. Garbancito de la Mancha, Arturo Moreno, Spain, 1945, 68’ All audiences. ‘Garbancito de la Mancha’, 7 Arturo Moreno, 1945 Session 3 .MODERN TIMES_ (Duration: 82 min) Together with industrial development and the expanding middle class, advertising began to flourish and found a language in animation that was able to attract these new consumers. Estudios Moro, based in Madrid, became THE company for advertising films in Spain, producing thousands of animated and live action commercials, created by such names as Pablo Núñez, Paul Casalini, Marcel Breuil and Francisco Macián. A North American treatment was the order of the day, but was given a more stylish, modern and jazzy look, similar to that of the UPA studio. The illustrator José Luis Moro and his producer brother, Santiago, best reflect this trend, and together wrote one of the most exciting pages of Spain’s popular culture. Some of the best work to come out of Moro highlights this programme, whether from its stock of internationally acclaimed commercials or the unforgettable Vamos a la cama (1965). Other work focuses on ensuing decades with films by Robert Balser, Julio Taltavull, and, closer to home, Isabel Herguera, Adriana Navarro, Carles Porta and Miguel Gallardo.

MACIÁN, ThE MAESTRO_ (Duration: 76 min) A distinguished Spanish animator, Francisco Macián (Barcelona, 1929-1976) created his own studio in Barcelona in 1955 where he created commercials for Estudios Moro. In 1966 he directed his first feature:El mago de los sueños (The Dream Wizard), inspired by Andersen’s fairy tale Ole Lukøje. This story and its characters La Familia Telerín became popular in Spain thanks to a promotional filmVamos a la cama (1965) for TVE (Televisión Española). Macián’s film, full of Disney references, was driven by the work of Salvador Mestres, Jaume Vila, Jordi Gim, Albert Rué and Carmelo Garmendia y Vicar (also the creator of the El mago character), as well as the modern and identifiable character designs by José Luis Moro. The soundtrack features children’s voices as well as artists from the era like Los 3 Sudamericanos, Chicho Gordillo, Ennio Sangiusto and Los de la Torre. Josep Solà wrote the music and despite the fact that this was his first opera and considering the technical difficulties they ran into during production, it’s some of the most well-loved music from Spanish animation history.

  • ANNEX IV ISLA CARTOON, a SUCCESSFUL CASE Annex IV
    Ibero-American Animation Quirino White Paper ANNEX IV ISLA CARTOON, A SUCCESSFUL CASE Annex IV Isla Cartoon, a successful case The Animation lives in a sweet moment in Tenerife, both for the studios of the island and for professionals and students looking to make a career in this exciting industry. Companies like 3 Doubles, BWater, La Casa Animada and Mondo TV Iberoamérica develop from Tenerife millionaire productions that compete in international markets and have become success stories of what is now known as Isla Cartoon. Long before the boom of animation came to Tenerife, the largest of the eight Canary Islands, practically all the Hollywood majors had already discovered the wonders of this overseas territory: an unusual variety of landscapes, stable weather all year round, pool of local talent and one of the biggest tax incentives in Europe. Tenerife has hosted big shootings. However, it was in 2015 when the island included the animation sector in its commitment to strategic and complementary sectors to the more than 4 decades successful tourism sector. Strong institutional support, increasing fiscal incentives and a strategy designed to facilitate the establishment of companies were decisive, so that in just 3 years, Tenerife managed to go from 2 local animation studios and thirty jobs to the current 7 studios. and its more than 300 jobs. During this period, this Cartoon Island has also positioned itself as a meeting point for Ibero-American animation by becoming promoter and the main sponsor as well as host of the Quirino Awards and the international animation lab Bridging the Gap, that join to the existing ones as MiradasDoc with thirteen editions to his credit.

  • Dreamworks Animation SKG, Inc
    DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. Website dreamworksanimation.com DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (NASDAQ: DWA) is an American animation studio based in Glendale, California that creates animated feature films, television program and online virtual worlds. They have released a total of 22 feature films, including Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon series. Although the studio also made traditionally animated films about serious subjects earlier, such as The Prince of Egypt, Joseph: King of Dreams, The Road to El Dorado, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, and Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, most of their computer-generated films and television series have now gained the studio a reputation for being focused on popular culture and satire. The studio was formed by the merger of the feature animation division of DreamWorks and Pacific Data Images (PDI). Originally formed under the banner of DreamWorks in 1997 by some of Amblin Entertainment's former animation branch Amblimation alumni, it was spun off into a separate public company in 2004. DreamWorks Animation currently maintains two campuses: the original DreamWorks feature animation studio in Glendale, California and the PDI studio in Redwood City, California. Films produced by DreamWorks Animation are currently distributed worldwide by Paramount Pictures, a subsidiary of Viacom, who acquired the DreamWorks live-action studio in February 2006, spinning it off again in 2008. History The PDI/DreamWorks Studio in Redwood City, California 1994–2004 On October 12, 1994, DreamWorks SKG was formed and founded by a trio of entertainment players, director and producer Steven Spielberg, music executive David Geffen, and former Disney executive Jeffrey Katzenberg.

  • ANNEX I WOMEN DIRECTORS in IBERO-AMERICAN ANIMATION: the FUTURE WILL BE FEMINIST of WILL NOT HAPPEN Annex I
    Ibero-American Animation Quirino White Paper ANNEX I WOMEN DIRECTORS IN IBERO-AMERICAN ANIMATION: THE FUTURE WILL BE FEMINIST OF WILL NOT HAPPEN Annex I Women Directors in Ibero-American Animation: The Future Will Be Feminist or Will Not Happen Ibero-American animated films - like all others - are told by men. Of the nearly 300 premieres* in the Ibero-American region, less than 20 have been directed by women, and less than ten are co-directed by at least one woman and one man. These figures help us focus on gender representativeness and the types of worlds and characters that are portrayed in animated films aimed at children and young and adult audiences, highlighting the gender gap in the industry. The figures in terms of premieres and projects in development call for a change that can’t be just lectures and meetings- proactive measures are needed to achieve a much-desired gender equality. By Marta García Since the launch of the first animated feature film in history, “The Apostle” by Quirino Cristiani in 1917, about 60 animated features have been released in Argentina, according to data from INCAA (Instituto de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales de Argentina); of which only ten were directed by women. In 2002, María Valentini led the way with “Bahía mágica”, a co-production by Cine Media Group, Naya Films, Cinecolor, JZ y Asociados and Mundo Marino with MDA Films from Spain, about a female biologist with a passion for animals. In 2007, Liliana Romero co-directed “Martín Fierro, la película” with Norman Ruiz (Aleph Media, Argentina/ Maíz Producciones, Spain).
