This is not an animation
Ceci n’est pas une Animation, CAN 2016 5’30.09 FR 16.30, 01.10 SA 13.00 @Katowice City of Gardens: room 211
DIRECTED BY: Federico Kempke
SCREENPLAY BY: Federico Kempke
PRODUCED BY: Sheridan College
A group of self-proclaimed artists decided to join forces and create an animation, in which all of them retain absolute artistic freedom. Unfortunately, one’s freedom ends where another’s begins – and in this case this means character, methodology and vision. The project is falling apart as every creator has a different, unique approach to work. This amusing and ironic animation by Federico Kempke is a genre roulette. The film taps into the poetics of documentaries and reality shows, utilizing various animation techniques. At the same time, it strips down the artistic pretensions of the pseudo-authors and makes fun of itself.
