Festivals, similar to "Crocua", is a useful thing, and first of all for the expansion of the borders of its own worldview. Without taking into account even the cinematic value of each of the films, there is enough figures: 130 animation work with a dozen seconds to 50 minutes from 37 countries of the world. Views go with the "immersion effect" - from 10 am to 23 pm, one and a half hours at a time. Themes are the most diverse - love, fantasy, computer sizes, musical rhythms and abstract images. At the exit from the audience hall, it is tenting not only from the ship pitch, but also from an excess of received information. As if you personally visited 37 countries at once, driving through the concise style of Indian advertising, taped by a Chinese flavor, bursting into a Spanish black comedy with an inquisitive widow, etc., and so paragraph.
From the class movie should capture the spirit!
A good movie to distinguish from the bad simply, for this you do not need to be criticized. From a cool movie in the soul there should be something to happen. Captures the Spirit, you will be surprised, you will laugh, Zezted the heart, the flight of consciousness or dizziness will happen ...
It seemed to me that in Russia a movie based on feelings appears more often than in the West. Maybe abroad films are relevant and more defining, and the technology of grace, but as (!) Our masters can tell about faith and self-sacrifice ("Sparrow, who knew how to keep the word", dir. Dmitry Geller) or reveal the spiritual world of black Cat that protects the happiness of people ("Shatalo", dir. Alexey Demin) ...
One of these cartoons was presented by Ekaterina Sokolov ("SIZY PILLY", Diploma "For a gentle touch to the complex topic of human destiny"). In the credits - "Dedicated to our parents." All my life, the man drove by the train past the random half-hour, not deciding once to go away, change something. Can we jump out of your train of fate? Sometimes it is worth thinking about it.
From the 5-minute cartoon "Listening" to the Dutch fence, the princena is blocked. The narrative in the colors in the colors is suddenly scattered with bright "splashes" of apples, ice cream and sweets and again returns to the doom and grayness ... concentration camps. On the left - a focusing team with crochets, on the right - a boy playing on the pipe. From how he will play depends, he will take it into the camp orchestra or his young life will turn around immediately, in the painted walls in the blood. The director says that the hero of his history has existed a real prototype - he died just a year ago. In his youth, he was taken to the concentration camp, and he survived there only thanks to the ability to play on the pipe. And why in the film from the pipe crashes the food? According to the former prisoner, it was one of the most discussed topics in the concentration camp ...
Little movie - a big deal!
I remember how the representative of the local administration was welcomed by the local administration, the representative of the local administration welcomed the participants of the Kroka: "In our city, Huziev removed the" Spring on Zarechnaya Street ", other famous directors worked. Many started like you, with a little movie, and then filmed a lot ... ". Animators were overloaded, and then for a long time this joke walked along the festival ship. In fact, in the definition of a "small cinema" there is a debris. And one of the most complex and responsible things in this profession (as, in fact, in the literature, and in the theater) - cinema for children.
Contrary to popular belief, most of the cartoons are removed at all for children. Even commercial full-lengths that regularly fall on us new adventures of Smurfs, Shrek and a wheelbarrow, are more designed for youth, and not children's views. However, among this abundance, something valuable can be caught.
Word and business!
What is an unusual cartoon "Duck, death and tulip" German Mattias Bruna? Naturally, the theme of death, which we are not too accepted to discuss with children. It is interesting that children's psychologists would tell about this film, "in my personal opinion, such a fine matter should be approached very carefully, given the individual characteristics of the psyche of every child, but in the West children's books on such scrubral themes, as a resettlement of souls, ground Peace and so on. In the cartoon of the heroine death for 10 minutes leads a philosophical conversation with a duck that death always goes around and should not be afraid. In the final, trusting duck quietly dies. As the young spectators said after watching, it was that movie they were very interested to watch. It would be nice to think about the form in which you can talk with children on such exciting themes.
On the contrary, the M / f "knitted nights" directed by Gila Alcabez is very cute, with a soft humor of cinema for all the guys. Handwritten-grandmother conceived tie sweater moon. However, the moon becomes less, turning into a thin month, then again more. It is not pleased to such a client, but a good grandmother finds a way to warm the heavenly inhabitants and knits warm clothes for asterisks.
Very touching and cheerful Latvian m / f "Circus" Janis Czyrimmanis. A simple story about the adventures of the circus tiger - just such cartoons can reach the kindergarten and cause good feelings. This movie is close in spirit to our old good Soviet classics, and no reason: After all, the famous director-puppeteer Cyersmanis once graduated from the Leningrad Institute of Theater, Music and Cinema.
With social overtones
Original and effective way to draw public attention to social problems - through animation. It is one of these cartoons - the "evil person" (dir. Anita Killie, Norway) took the 1st place in the ranking of audience sympathies. What is surprising, taking into account the fact that often spectator votes are given to a completely different movie - a funny, funny, more massive and less serious. Huge sizes father-tyrant is having a wife and introduces a little son in the state of horror. Only a friend-dog boy can entrust all his secrets. When the fear of the child's family reaches the limit, the socialopsek appears in the form of a big and fair King: "Let Dad live in me in the palace, and you will visit him when you want." Pope is deployed to the palace behind the bare, it repents and miraculously turns into an exemplary father - this, which Silenka could not even dream about. The cartoon is made as requested by Western juvenile services and can be recommended in working with the population. Perhaps someone will help someone.
A painting "under the blue skies" was very controversial in thought (dir. Arno Delumeink, Cecilia Marreist Maram, France-Belgium). In the song about the cozy blue kingdom with blue nature and blue, everyone is having fun, and only the princess is so sad. Her faithful maid has eight children, and she is already pregnant with a ninth baby. The tired mother is hard to transfers pregnancy, and playful children do not allow her to relax. And then, as in a fairy tale, the princess comes to the help of the family: it takes for the Mop, cooks porridge and plays with children. And everything would be fine, but the ninth baby is born not like its brothers and sisters and in Krapinka. The exhausted mother does not like him, and the sad princess with a dad-king decide to pick up a child to the palace: "We will be like a father and mother, he will be good." What was the basis of the idea - solving the problem of largeness by deliverance from unnecessary mouths, propaganda adoption of children "with the features of development" or mutual assistance of different social layers, to say difficult. Leave it on the conscience of the authors.
A film about tolerance and understanding - "Four-eyed Changarik" (dir. Jean-Claude Rosek, France). The little boy was prescribed glasses, thereby destroying his world in which he existed before. Fantastic things around turned out to be banal. In the minor world, the dinosaur was visible to him - now he was the usual excavator. And the magic sink, if you look at it through glass with diopters, looks at all fabulously. Parents want the Son to grow on generally accepted standards and rules, and the child stubbornly relieves glasses and worn into his world of fantasy and kindness. Is it not true, you too can remember something similar? And how to - try to remake the world and people in it or take all this, what is it? The art of animation conditionally, it does not always give answers to the questions set, but always encourages viewers to reflections on what he saw.
