Complete Description: | |
| This two-hour screening begins at 7 pm with a 45-minute selection of the “best of” the Ottawa Animation Festival 2008 – one of the top animation festivals in the world. The second half of the international program is a unique program of the curators’ picks, including the charcoal drawings that come to life in Automatic Writing by renowned South African artist William Kentridge, the surreal tale of Franz Kafka’s A Country Doctor by academy award-winning Japanese animator Koji Yamamura, a psychedelic mash-up of “Rambo” in Untitled (Pink Dot) by digital artist Takeshi Murata, a hand-drawn and cut-out animation titled How She Slept at Night by the Chicago-based comic artist Lilli Carre, and the poignant, sometimes shocking, line drawings of British artist David Shrigley in Who I Am and What I Want. | |
