  • Press Release
    Press release CaixaForum Madrid From 21 March to 22 June 2014 Press release CaixaForum Madrid hosts the first presentation in Spain of a show devoted to the history of a studio that revolutionised the world of animated film “The art challenges the technology. Technology inspires the art.” That is how John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer at Pixar Animation Studios, sums up the spirit of the US company that marked a turning-point in the film world with its innovations in computer animation. This is a medium that is at once extraordinarily liberating and extraordinarily challenging, since everything, down to the smallest detail, must be created from nothing. Pixar: 25 Years of Animation casts its spotlight on the challenges posed by computer animation, based on some of the most memorable films created by the studio. Taking three key elements in the creation of animated films –the characters, the stories and the worlds that are created– the exhibition reveals the entire production process, from initial idea to the creation of worlds full of sounds, textures, music and light. Pixar: 25 Years of Animation traces the company’s most outstanding technical and artistic achievements since its first shorts in the 1980s, whilst also enabling visitors to discover more about the production process behind the first 12 Pixar feature films through 402 pieces, including drawings, “colorscripts”, models, videos and installations. Pixar: 25 Years of Animation . Organised and produced by : Pixar Animation Studios in cooperation with ”la Caixa” Foundation. Curator : Elyse Klaidman, Director, Pixar University and Archive at Pixar Animation Studios. Place : CaixaForum Madrid (Paseo del Prado, 36).

  • L'uso Dei Cortometraggi Nella Scuola Primaria
    Insegnamento “Laboratorio di Linguaggi Audiovisivi” Corso di Laurea in Scienze della Formazione Primaria Docente: Andrea Fiorucci L’USO DEI CORTOMETRAGGI NELLA SCUOLA PRIMARIA Possibili scenari didattico-educativi e ipotesi di intervento A cura di Andrea Fiorucci Insegnamento “Laboratorio di Linguaggi Audiovisivi” Corso di Laurea in Scienze della Formazione Primaria Docente: Andrea Fiorucci 1)Titolo PIP https://youtu.be/07d2dXHYb94 Data di uscita: 2018 Regista: Bruno Simões Montaggio: Studio Kimchi Animation: Toni Buenavida, Matthieu Poirey, David Rubio Musica: Aurélien Vieira Lino Produzione: Southeastern Guide Dogs/Studio Kimchi Paese: Portogallo SINOSSI1: Pip è un cucciolo di cane che ha il desiderio di partecipare ad un corso per diventare cane guida per persone con disabilità visiva. Nonostante non possegga tutte le caratteristiche necessarie per accedervi, l'istruttore decide di accoglierlo nel suo team. Dopo le prime difficoltà Pip riuscirà ad inserirsi nel gruppo, ma, il giorno della prova finale farà un errore che gli costerà l’espulsione. Uscito dalla scuola di addestramento, preso dallo sconforto e dalla tristezza, Pip si ritroverà a dover aiutare una donna cieca in difficoltà. Sarà a quel punto che l’istruttrice, l’esaminatore e tutti i suoi compagni noteranno il suo talento e la sua bontà d’animo e finalmente il suo sogno sarà coronato. MESSAGGIO SOCIALE: Tale cortometraggio insegna a non arrendersi mai davanti alle difficoltà e a credere nei propri sogni e obiettivi. Pip è un cucciolo con un grande sogno, quello di diventare una guida per ipovedenti, ma il corso universitario al quale si iscrive per ottenere questa qualifica si rivela essere più difficile del previsto, innanzitutto per via della sua statura, più bassa rispetto alla norma, che contribuisce ad alimentare il pregiudizio nei suoi confronti.
