A short film created by Clément Picon, Manu Javelle and Beakus director Amael Isnard when graduating from France's prestigious school Supinfocom. In a mental hospital for animals, four patients start making music with every object they can find. Featuring music by Tambour Battant the film was shown at Pictoplasma, OneDotZero, Anima Bruxelles, NYCFF New York, and Animafest Zagreb, picking up several awards along the way.
Nice work - great animation!!! Thanks, Fabricio :-)))
This animated music video is inspired by a heartfelt story of a relationship between two soldiers during the Second World War, called "Letter to a G.I.", first published in 1953 and republished in September 1961 by "ONE Magazine" in the USA.
In the letter, one of the soldiers - Brian Keith - describes warmly the best moments that him and Dave (his partner) shared during the North African Campaign of 1943, when they first met. Unfortunately the story ends with a sad farewell to Dave, as he did not make it back home.

The Guardian hat eine tolle Aniomation erstellt, die den Verlauf der Aufstände in verschiedenen arabischen Ländern zeigt. Schön gemacht und sozusagen - auf den Strahl gebracht...
The Guardian published a very nice intaractive timeline of the Middle East protests. Well done!!!
Wir hatten Orwells "Animal Farm" als Lektüre im Englisch Unterricht. Und es war schon verblüffend, welche Parallelen man zur Entwicklung des Systems im damaligen Osten, speziell der UdSSR ziehen konnte. Noch extremer wurde das ganze dann in der Zeichentrick Variante dargestellt, weit über Orwells Vorlage hinaus.
Und jetzt wird auch klar, warum: Der meistgesehene englische Zeichentrickfilm wurde vom CIA mitfinanziert, um im kalten Krieg Negativwerbung über den großen Feind im Osten zu machen. Mehr dazu bei dangerous minds.
Nett isser trotzdem, der Film :-) Ich glaube, das war das einzige mal, dass wir "in Englisch" einen Film sehen durften...:-(
Did you have the book and the film at school as well? Now it came out, that the CIA sponsored the British movie from 1955... wtf...
But there is an interesting back story of how Animal Farm came to be made that most people are probably unaware of: The most famous British animated film ever made was in fact financed by the American CIA in an effort to encourage a negative view of the Soviet Union.
In 1951, using American taxpayer dollars, the CIA’s Office of Policy Coordination carried out obtaining the rights to the book from Sonia Orwell, the author’s widow, in an operation run by future Watergate criminal E. Howard Hunt. Two members of the Psychological Warfare Workshop staff who were working in undercover in Hollywood made the arrangements. To thank Mrs. Orwell, the CIA arranged for her to meet actor Clark Gable.
Vivien Halas, the daughter of the film’s directors, believes that her parents were innocent of knowing that the CIA was involved with the project:
“I don’t believe that my parents were aware of any CIA involvement at the time. Frances reminded me that, in the early 1950s, the CIA was not regarded with the same scorn as today. My father dismissed the idea, but my mother felt annoyed.” John Halas and Joy Batchelor would go on to do the Jackson 5ive and The Osmonds cartoons. Louis De Rochemont became paranoid about the CIA bugging him late in his life.
HIGHRISE/Out my Window ist ein geniales, interaktives Kunstwerk, in dem 13 Appartements und deren Bewohner vorgestellt werden. Jedes davon kann man im 360 Grad Modus betrachten. Toll!!!
Tipp: Mit HOW TO in der unteren Menüleiste starten... dann wird einiges klarer :-)))
HIGHRISE/Out My Window is a brand-new interactive documentary. It features first-person stories from 13 cities internationally, with an eclectic soundtrack, exploring the experience of life in the concrete highrise - the most common built form of the last century.
Designed to be experienced online, the project launches the viewer inside a 360-degree panorama, into an almost game-like environment. Toronto-based documentary maker Katerina Cizek directed the project largely via Skype, Facebook and email, in a collaborative process with photographers, journalists, architects, researchers, activists, digital developers and artists from around the world. The credit list rivals a feature film.
The stories of Out My Window span the globe: from Latin America's largest squat in Sao Paolo to a hugely renovated post-soviet concrete suburb in the south of Prague. Durdane in Istanbul describes how her squatter highrise community came about in the eighties, as people moved from the countryside and built towers one floor at a time. John from Johannesburg talks about the phenomenon of 'highjacked buildings,' where tenants are forced to pay rent to illegal landlords even as their buildings fall to ruin. Amchok from Toronto, who escaped Chinese-controlled Tibet by walking to India, talks about how his work as music teacher and performer brought him to Canada and helps make a home in his building in Toronto.
Recommendation: Start with a klick on HOW TO in the lower menu bar, it helps :-)
