Dragi gosti, ljubitelji 21. svjetskog festivala animiranog<br />
filma u Zagrebu, želim vam svima toplu dobrodošlicu i<br />
nezaboravan boravak u Zagrebu.<br />
Umjetnost animacije ne posustaje, naprotiv!<br />
Smanjenje troškova za tehnologiju i softvere te sve šira<br />
dostupnost vrhunske opreme rezultiraju ne samo eksplozijom<br />
broja kratkometražnih filmova nego i osjetnim rastom<br />
dugometražnih projekata. Sve je više i više cjelovečernjih<br />
animiranih filmova. Sve više autora i sve više zemalja snimaju,<br />
ulažu i promoviraju tu vrstu filmskog izričaja. Pod<br />
time se ne misli “samo” na filmove namijenjene tržištu<br />
i publici dječjeg uzrasta, već na punokrvna umjetnička<br />
ostvarenja za suvremenu publiku.<br />
U programu ovogodišnjeg dugometražnog izdanja<br />
zainteresirani posjetioci tako mogu pogledati film<br />
Doviđenja, gospodine Christie Britanca Phila Mulloya,<br />
dugogodišnjeg prijatelja Animafesta i jednog od najuspješnijih<br />
autora kratkometražnih animacija današnjice.<br />
Tu je i legendarni ruski animator Garri Bardin sa svojom<br />
obradom slavne Andersenove priče Ružno pače. Tu su<br />
i Paul i Sandra Fierlinger, tu je još šest drugih bisera<br />
animacije u Velikom natjecanju. U programu Svjetska<br />
panorama, između ostalog, može se vidjeti i najnoviji<br />
film jednog od najutjecajnijih i najinovativnijih autora u<br />
povijesti animacije, legendarnog češkog animatora Jana<br />
Švankmajera. U programu je i Duga, veliki pionirski pothvat,<br />
prvi hrvatski autorski dugometražni film jednog od<br />
najznačajnijih hrvatskih animatora i profesora na ALU-u,<br />
Joška Marušića.<br />
Posebno bih skrenuo pozornost i na program Kino<br />
za uši koji prikazuje tri povijesna filma—susrete planetarno<br />
popularnih pop-grupa s dugometražnom animacijom.<br />
Kao šećer na kraju, pozivam sve studente i ljubitelje<br />
animacije na retrospektivu kratkih filmova nizozemskokanadskog<br />
autora Paula Driessena, dobitnika Nagrade za<br />
životno djelo u Zagrebu 2002. godine. Retrospektiva autora<br />
koji je kao mladi animator radio i na Žutoj podmornici<br />
The Beatlesa izuzetna je prilika za upoznavanje najvažnijih<br />
djela umjetnika poznatog po jedinstvenom stilu animiranja<br />
i majstorskim kompozicijama slike.<br />
Dear visitors, dear fans of the 21 st World Festival of Animated<br />
Film in Zagreb,I wish you all warm welcome and an unforgettable<br />
stay in Zagreb.<br />
Animation art does not yield, quite the contrary! A<br />
reduction of technology and software expenses and wider<br />
availability of cutting-edge equipment have resulted not<br />
only in the explosion of short animated films, but also in a<br />
significant growth of feature projects. More and more filmmakers<br />
and countries create, invest in and promote this type<br />
of cinematic expression, which refers not “only” to the market-oriented<br />
films dedicated to children audience, but also<br />
to purebred artistic achievements for contemporary viewers.<br />
The programme of this year’s feature edition<br />
of the festival thus includes the films Goodbye, Mister<br />
Christie by British filmmaker Phil Mulloy, a long-time friend<br />
of Animafest and one of the most successful short<br />
animation authors of today. The legendary Russian animator<br />
Garri Bardin is also featured in the programme<br />
with his adaptation of the famous Andersen’s tale The<br />
Ugly Duckling. Paul and Sandra Fierlinger are also present,<br />
as well as six other animation gems from the Grand<br />
Competition. The World Panorama programme presents,<br />
among others, the latest work by one of the most influential<br />
and innovative filmmakers in the history of animation,<br />
the iconic Czech animator Jan Švankmajer. The<br />
programme also features the pioneering achievement<br />
The Rainbow, the first Croatian feature animated film<br />
by one of the most significant Croatian animators and<br />
professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, Joško Marušić.<br />
I would like to draw special attention to the programme<br />
Cinema for the Ear that screens three historic films—<br />
the fusion of popular pop bands and feature animation.<br />
And last but not least, I invite all students and<br />
animation devotees to the retrospective of short films by<br />
Dutch-Canadian filmmaker Paul Driessen, the recipient of<br />
the Lifetime Achievement Award 2002 in Zagreb. The retrospective<br />
of the author who worked on The Beatles’ Yellow<br />
Submarine as a young animator is an exceptional chance to<br />
acquaint ourselves with the works of an artist known for his<br />
unique animation style and masterful image compositions.<br />
