07.06.2010 AG Kurzfilm Back on Annecy's MIFA
Today is the first day of the Festival International du film d'animation in Annecy – the most important industry event of the international animation scene.For the third time, in cooperation with German Films, the German Short Film Association is going to be present with a booth on the festival’s film market MIFA (MARCHÉ INTERNATIONAL DU FILM D'ANIMATION).
Additional hosts at the booth this year are Drematrix, the MFG Baden-Wuerttemberg and the Film- und Medienfestival gGmbH. Their aim is to enable all filmic genres represented by German Films to present the German animation scene in all its manifestations, forms of expressions and styles and to visualise its history steeped in tradition.
On the occasion of its presence at the festival and on the market, the AG Kurzfilm published another preview DVD containing current German short animations in cooperation with German Films. The DVD "New German Animations" is especially addressed to festival representatives, curators and buyers.
27 and 28 May Franco-German Short Film Rendezvous in Strasbourg
On 27 and 28 May the 11th Franco-German Short Film rendezvous will take place in Strasbourg. Since 2009 the AG Kurzfilm is partnered with the organisers - Video Le beaux Jours (Strasbourg) und Goethe-Institute (Nancy) - for the second time. This year, the ten participating films were selected by means of a call for entries to film schools and film classes. Besides Germany and France a third nation was included as a guest – in this year Poland.The selected films will be screened in the presence of all directors in the cinema hall of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Strasbourg on 27 May.
The participating films from Germany are:
• JANEK by Piotr J. Lewandowski
• HOME GAME by Bogdana Vera Lorenz
• DRIVING ÉLODIE by Lars Henning
• FORMIC by Florian Wittman and Roman Kälin
On the following day there will be a workshop for the filmmakers at the ARTE headquarters. There will be a discussion about all the films of the Franco-German Short Film Rendezvous. The directors will have the chance to exchange opinions about production methods and to reflect on their own work. The exchange will be supported by simultaneous translation. Thus, ideal conditions for a fruitful dialogue between the attending participants, directors, professionals and students are created.
