SUMMARY:International Competition Program #1 [2024]
DESCRIPTION:\nTICKETS\n\n\n\nThe International Competition Programs are the backbone of the entire MIAF mission. Drawn from more than 2,000 submissions they showcase the best, most imaginative animating talent on the planet in a series of programs in which the only rule is diversity.\n\n\n\nThe program opens with the stunningly original new film “Way Better” by Skirmanta Jakaite, a Lithuanian master animator with an awe-inspiring capacity to stretch the expressive capacities of animation to breaking point and beyond. Coincidentally the program also finishes with a Lithuanian film; the beautifully realised “Memories In The Clouds” by Kristina and Albert Laine, a tour-de-force pointing the way in which AI might be taking auteur animation.\n\n\n\nWay Better – Skirmanta Jakaite\n\n\n\nWay BetterSkirmanta JakaitėLithuania, 13’47, 2022A journey traversing the complex, always changing limbo of a mind trapped inside a man awaiting the biggest news of his life.\n\n\n\nFragments – Andreas Durr\n\n\n\nFragmentsAndreas DürrGermany, 6’56, 2024At its most extreme, climbing can be a truly transcendental experience, reaching into the deepest recesses of the imagination.\n\n\n\nD’une Peinture… à l’autre – Georges Schwizgebel\n\n\n\nD’une Peinture… à l’autreGeorges SchwizgebelSwitzerland, 3’10, 2023An exquisitely hand painted immersion into a world crafted from two classic paintings on the same subject but created half a century apart.\n\n\n\nSwimming Pool-Fushigi Man – Natalia Ryss\n\n\n\nSwimming Pool – Fushigi ManNatalia RyssUS/Israel/Japan/Canada, 1’30, 2023The incredible underwater journey of Fushigi Man flung at us in maniacal, eye-popping, digi-collage-on-steroids wonder.\n\n\n\nGiraffe – Natalya Mirzoyan\n\n\n\nGiraffeNatalya MirzoyanRussia, 2’35, 2022The winding, sometimes contradictory journey of one lover’s attempt to help another – drawn from the emotional core of a Nikolay Gumilev poem.\n\n\n\nSpark Of Hope – Yu-Rou Wun\n\n\n\nSpark Of HopeYu-Rou WunTaiwan, 3’12, 2023After the tumbling mishaps and ritual humiliations of his everyday experiences our little hero takes a moment to remind himself of what makes it all worthwhile.\n\n\n\nRind – Romy Matar\n\n\n\nRindRomy MatarLebanon, 5’15, 2022A beautifully subtle but piercing journey following a woman who must navigate a world shaped by her own perceptions of body and self.\n\n\n\nThe Boy And The Crow – Tudor Om\n\n\n\nThe Boy And The CrowTudor OmRomania, 2’49, 2023Realising that if he keeps running from the crow he may never stop, the boy confronts his fears as they sweep in upon him.\n\n\n\nSabeel – Ghada Bazaim, Abdulla Aldohlan, Samaher Bantan\n\n\n\nSabeelGhada Bazaim, Abdulla Aldohlan, Samaher BantanSaudi Arabia, 1’53, 2023Sure…. follow that secure path set for you, unless you have enough faith to create your own.
