Last October, MIAF Director Malcolm Turner, was invited
to sit on the jury of the inaugural Indie AniFest in Seoul,
South Korea – a week long festival devoted entirely
to recently released Korean animated short films. This full
throttle download was, of course, the inspiration for the
two-program Korean Panorama that is a feature of this year’s
MIAF. South Korean animation is filled with unusual and
highly original ideas. It travels to a very different beat
than much of what we are used to seeing. Turner’s
week-long 24/7 full immersion in the films and animation
community of South Korea was a life-changing experience
and he will discuss what he learned and how he applied it
in selecting the films that will show in the Korean Panorama
screenings. At the conclusion of the talk he will screen
the same selection of classic early Korean films that were
selected for the opening night celebration of Indie AniFest.

MIAF special guest, Rosto, is a multi
talented artist – an animator, graphic novelist, musician
and designer. His latest film, the stunningly animated “Jona/Tomberry”
is perhaps better described as an ‘experience’
than a story. It certainly eskews linear narrative and defies
the audience to impose a singular meaning to it. And yet,
meaning feels within the grasp of anybody who watches it
with the right set of eyes. Mulitple viewings help but this
session offers an opportunity to hear the background and
creative energy behind this amazing work directly from the
filmmaker.

Ransis And Alee,
Randall Lynton, Australia,
2006, 10'00
|
Perth animator, Randall Lynton, brings
his recently released macabre, stop-motion gem to MIAF.
The film tracks the petty squabbles between a dog and cat
duking it out nightly to find food on the mean streets –
until the night the night a gargoyle comes to life. Lynton’s
intensely detailed characters and sets burst with texture
but it is the fluidity of the animation that makes this
a special film. None of this is easy – or quick –
to achieve. But three years?? The filmmaker will talk about
the often painstaking technique of making ‘Ransis
And Alee’ and give some insights into the realities
of creating animation in Australia.
* 'Ransis And Alee' is an Australian
Premiere
