FIFAV : THE SIXTH EDITION

The sixth edition of the film festival on clay and glass has hosted 1300 festival organizers on April 5 th and 6th 2008 at the Palais des Congrès, Montpellier. And we were there...The 2008 edition celebrated the 10th anniversary of the festival. Edition-event, it was rythmed by highlights and suprises : An inauguration night that was festive and convivial, a directing workshop in partnership with Channel Arte, and an exhibition at the Maison des Relations Internationales...also a big prize for the Art de France workshops attributed to Jeanne Hadorn’s film « L’être et la forme », also very appreciated by the audience that attributed it the Audience Award.

The Young Public Award 2007 was issued to David Ferré for his animation film La saga des glaises. The Young Public Award 2008 for schools and high schools were both issued to Croatian director Tomislav Gregl for his animation film Malformance Performance, during the award ceremony for the Prize of International Film Festival on Clay and Glass on last April the 6th.

Here are a few images brought back from Montpellier (in our discretion)

THE ANIMATION FILM « LETTERS TO A CZECH FRIEND » AS PART OF THE MONTH OF GRAPHICS :

The scenario and story-board for « Letter to a Czech friend » will be ending in June in France with the A-levels class. Audrey Balland and Marie-Hélène Weinachter will initiate the students to scenario and story-board on an A3 format (layout and graphic techniques). Geneviève Grousson-Troyes proposes a puppets workshop to retie with the ancient processes that have made the success of the Czech’s and the Polish’s first animation drawings.

The « letters to a friend » written with Corinne Lovera Vitali will be the object of a special edition, perhaps a booklet as part of the animation films DVD and a documentary « Making of » of 10 minutes directed by Archiclic Studio. In October Alain Markarian will probably be part of the trip among with us. What an animation...in the sky !
