10th Film Summer School in Locarno, Switzerland, 3.-7. August 2009
To account for the hybrid, polymorphous nature of contemporary animation, the X Film Summer School plans to confront the Western scene with that in the East, initiating a dialogue through two of the authors who are most representative of the latest tendencies in animation – Swiss animation director Georges Schwizgebel and Japanese anime director Hiroyuki Yamaga -, enabling a direct comparison between European animation’s auteur tendency and the aesthetic and productive models of the most innovative Japanese Studios, but also stimulating reflection on the influence of cultural backgrounds, both on an aesthetic and a thematic level, in current animation production.
