Animation Off-Limits: The Life of Puppets

From Starewitch to Trnka and Pojar, puppet animation has gained the distinction it deserves. However, the six films making up this programme are shaking up the traditional notion of puppet animation. While they indeed fall within the realm of puppetry, they are at the same time pushing back the boundaries of animation.

Animation Off-Limits: Devices

With their craftiness, these films break away from the codes of traditional animation families to create their own unusual, quirky and funny genre.

Animation Off-Limits: Optic Nerves

The 12 films presented offer a meeting with some of the major names in experimental cinema and their psychedelic worlds.

Animation Off-Limits: Photo Synthesis

When animation uses photography and live action to present its view of the world.

The Nature of Frédéric Back

In The nature of Frédéric Back, the Canadian documentary maker Phil Comeau follows the journey of the director of The Man Who Planted Trees through the key places that shaped his life and artistic evolution, travelling from Alsace to Brittany, Hollywood to Japan, ending up in Montreal and the Quebec countryside.

Poland: Esthetes and Music Lovers

There are two trends central to Polish animation, enriched by their close connection with music and technique.

Poland: George the Hedgehog

Trash, crude and funny: these are the adventures of George, the hedonistic hedgehog.

Poland: Grotesques

The grotesque and its baroque and bizarre world are given a central place in Polish animation.

Poland: Jerzy Kucia

As evocative, lyrical and poetic films, Jerzy Kucia's work has to be deserved and savoured.

Poland: Mystiques

Good and evil, life, afterlife, death... and, more than anything, the mysticism and fatalism of the Polish soul are expressed throughout the films presented in this selection.

Resistances

A timeless theme spanning the entire history of animation, resistance remains entirely pertinent today, as globalisation and mass culture is promoting the standardisation of ideas.
