Sur-Realities: Poetic Imagery (A Tribute to Mexican Animation)

Overview
Description
Films

Dare to dive into the experimental animation universe, where conventions are shaken up to release out-of-the-box visual and poetic forms of expression.

In a tribute to Mexico, José Iñesta has teamed up with seven renowned Mexican animation professionals: Sofía Carrillo, Ana Cruz, Lucía Cavalchini, Tania de León Young, Lourdes Villagómez, Christian Bermejo and Jordi Iñesta. Together, they have carefully concocted nine programmes comprising 88 short films, offering Annecy festivalgoers an enthralling plunge into the richness of this multifaceted culture.

Reality is abstract. This program explores the diversity of the animation medium and pays tribute to the experimental artists that have questioned established narratives, structure, time and movement seeking expression, empathy and a new language. These films insist on the possibilities of the animated image to reimagine the elements of the world and are a radical exercise of the political power of the imagination and the poetic.
