SUMMARY:Animated Documentaries [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\nAnimation can be an ideal too to deploy in the service of documentary filmmaking. It is used increasingly to recreate elements of a story that the camera either could not or did not capture. Animation has a long history of being utilised for this; a history that goes back to at least 1918 when Winsor McCay released “The Sinking Of The Lusitania” recreating an infamous sinking of a passenger ship which resulted in massive loss of life. Rarer though is a documentary that is entirely animated and which parades its pure animation credentials as prominently as the story it is trying to tell. But this year lots of great animated documentaries turned up in submissions and with some of the best of them being Australian made and exploring Australian subjects we knew we had to step up and dedicate a program to this special animation genre.\n\n\n\nMagda – Adela Kaczmarek\n\n\n\nMagdaAdela KaczmarekPoland, 9’00, 2022Podhale, Poland, in the winter of 1939.
