Animac 2014 Se Presenta El Próximo Viernes En Barcelona Con El Animador Chris Landreth ANIMAC 2014 Mostra Internacional de Cine de Animación de Cataluña Del 20 al 23 de febrero Viernes 7 de febrero · 19h Auditorio del CCCB Animac 2014 se presenta el próximo viernes en Barcelona con el animador Chris Landreth Animación híbrida y psicorrealista con la proyección de su galardonado cortometraje Ryan Animac, la Mostra Internacional de Cine de Animación de Cataluña organizada por el Ayuntamiento de Lleida, dedica su 18ª edición a la animación híbrida y su capacidad de integración en todo tipo de formatos. En su presentación en el CCCB de Barcelona, contaremos con un invitado excepcional: Chris Landreth, animador norteamericano aficando en Canadà i especialista en animación CGI –generada por ordenador– de tipo híbrido, experimental y psicorrealista, como el mismo autor afirma. Antes de la presentación, la directora de la Mostra, Carolina López, presentará oficialmente el programa de Animac 2014 y, acto seguido, se proyectará Ryan, escrito y dirigido por Chris Landreth, y galardonado el año 2004 con el Oscar a Mejor Cortometraje Animado. Además, su último cortometraje, Subconscious Password –premiado en Annecy 2013 con el Grand Crystal– formará parte de la sesión inaugural de Animac 2014, del 20 al 23 de febrero en la ciudad de Lleida. Ryan Escrito y dirigido por Chris Landreth, Canadá, 2004, 14’ El mismo Chris Landreth narra la historia de Ryan Larkin, animador canadiense responsable de algunos de los cortometrajes animados más influyentes de los años 60 y 70. Reinterpretando una serie de entrevistas al propio Larkin y a sus amigos y familiares, este documental animado reconstruye la caída en desgracia de Larkin en el alcoholismo y la drogadicción, que incluso acabó mendigando por las calles para poder llegar a fin de mes. Landreth da voz y forma a su amigo Larkin a través de un avatar literalmente vacío, deformado y deconstruido, usando animación hiperrealista –con tintes surrealistas– generada por ordenador. Landreth alterna también animación vectorial hecha a mano y rotoscopia, y su trabajo de animación facial y gestual –increíblemente detallistas– llegó a confundir al público, creyendo que se trataba de imagen real o captura de movimientos. Primera colaboración con el National Film Board of Canada, Ryan se llevó más de 60 premios por todo el mundo, incluyendo el Oscar a Mejor Cortometraje Animado el año 2004. Su paso por el festival de Cannes, por los Genie Awards o el Premio del Jurado en Annecy y en Siggraph certifican la maestría de Landreth como animador y realizador. Chris Landreth Nacido el año 1961 en Connecticut (EUA), Chris Landreth se formó como ingeniero, investigador y analista de software informáticos. Pero el descubrimiento de la animación generada por ordenador sacudió completamente su carrera, y Landreth aplicó todos sus conocimientos técnicos para empezar una segunda vida en Canadá como animador con The Listener (1991). Mientras trabajaba como developer del célebre software de animación Maya, Landreth dio luz varios cortometrajes como The End (1995), primera nominación al Oscar, o Bingo (1998), consagrándole como animador. Su trilogía de cortos psicorrealistas –usando técnicas hiper/surrealistas de animación CGI– con el National Film Board of Canada le propulsó hacía el éxito, con piezas como Ryan (2004), The Spine (2009) y Subconscious Password (2013). Animac 2014: HÍBRIDO Animac 2014 tendrá lugar en la ciudad de Lleida del 20 al 23 de febrero. Cuatro jornadas repletas de proyecciones, conferencias, talleres y música en directo en los espacios de la Mostra: la Llotja, CaixaForum Lleida y el Cafè del Teatre. Este año, Animac celebra su mayoría de edad con una 18ª edición dedicada, bajo el lema HÍBRIDO, a la destacada presencia de la animación en el audiovisual y su capacidad de integración en todo tipo de formatos. Más allá de las sesiones retrospectivas especiales, la animación híbrida infectará de forma transversal toda la programación de Animac 2014 en secciones como Animac Cartoon, las conferencias especializadas o Petit Animac.

  • Ten Years Supporting, Delivering & Promoting the Whole Spectrum of Animation
    TEN YEARS SUPPORTING, DELIVERING & PROMOTING THE WHOLE SPECTRUM OF ANIMATION Directors Message Wow – we made it to our 10th anniversary!! Who would have thought it? From very humble beginnings – our first festival in 2004 screened at the now-defunct Rupert Street Cinema in Piccadilly – to LIAF 2013, 10 days at 3 different venues. We have survived - sort of. Over 10 years we’ve received more than 12,000 entries, screened more than 2,500 films, and had some of the most talented animators in the world come and hang out with us. And we’ve had a ball on the way. It’s time to blow our own trumpet. As well as being the largest festival of it’s kind in the UK in terms of films and programmes screened, we have a substantial touring component and we run satellite events all year-round. We’ve screened at festivals, cinemas, theatres and colleges all around the world and in the UK and hopefully we have spread the word that animation is a valid artform that is only limited by the animator’s imagination. In short, our maxim is that in animation anything can happen. Long may this be. There are far too may people to thank here (hopefully you know who you are) but the guidance and immense work-rate of my co-Director Malcolm Turner has to be acknowledged. Way back when in our ground zero - actually in the year 1999 - I still vividly recall that very first meeting Malcolm and I had with our then-colleague Susi Allender in the back garden of our Melbourne flat.
