CRITICS
"The most entertaining movie that Argentina has produced in recent times, has everything necessary to become a cult film."
Clarín (Argentina)

“An effective and instant humor , impredecible and politically incorrect”
El Independiente (Argentina)

Si l’altermondialisme surprend ici parce qu’intergalactique, c’est surtout la satire du chaos social argentin qui fait mouche.
Cahiers du Cinéma, França.

Un film d’animation très subversif qui, à travers les mésaventures de son héros, est une critique acide de la mondialisation.
Le Figaro, França.


«(...) Après South park, sur un mode trash/fun/nihiliste, Mercano le Martien, qui est aussi à l’origine une série télé, montre encore une fois que le cinéma d’animation favorise l’expression de la contestation la plus subversive. Le cinéma en images réelles ferait bien d’en prendre de la graine.» Les Inrockuptibles (France)

«Quelque part entre «South park» et le graffiti d’écolier, voici un dessin animé argentin particulièrement déjanté. » Le Nouvel Observateur (France)

«Au risque d’employer une métaphore facile, on dira que MERCANO LE MARTIEN
est un ovni comme il en apparaît régulièrement dans la production mondiale de films
d’animation. (...) Sous ses aspects potaches et drôles, MERCANO a même un petit côté
subversif, notamment dans la dénonciation de la mondialisation, du fossé entre riches et pauvres ou la place omniprésente de la technologie. Et tout cela le rend sympathique.”
MCinéma.com (France)

«Après avoir pris d’assaut le cinéma traditionnel, voici donc que la «nouvelle
vague» argentine se présente aux portes de l’animation.» Libération (France)

«Déclinaison d’une série télé, cette réponse de l’Amérique gaucho (de la pampa) à South Park mêle provocations et lucidité en transposant de façon drôle et saisissante la société
actuelle.» L’Humanité (France)

«Apocalyptique, gentiment provocateur, bricolé mais pleins de fougue, Mercano est un
pur produit de contre-culture comme vont l’adorer ceux qui aiment les bandes dessinées trash des années Crumb.»
Aden (France)

«Très rock’n roll, mordant et maîtrisé, le film se glose de sa propre trivialité avec une folie cartoonesque rarement égalée. Fauché comme les blés, grand guignol ricaneur et anarcho, son créateur Juan Antin est surtout un grand frondeur dont l’étonnante clairvoyance et la débrouillardise de bricoleur lui permettent de tenir efficacement son sujet. » Chronic’art.com (France)

8 MUMIA - SPECIAL SCREENING MACHINIMAS

Emerged in the late 90's, the Machinimas refers to both a new film genre and a technique of film production. Paul Marino, one of the first directors of Machinima, defines it as a movie conceived in real time within a synthetic environment. With Machinimas, the videogame, an object of mass consumption, turns out to be a production tool for meaning and a way of expression accessible to all those who have got a game console and a computer.

The GTA game provides the framework for a futuristic meditation with "The Days
After", de André Pesch. To catch up with the recent days, World of Electors, by Alex Chan, transforms game characters in voters, interviewed about the presidential french
campaign.

Designed by Isabelle Arvers, coordinator of the specialized exhibition about the
relationship between art and video games, this program mixes experimental films with
narrative films such as "The Snow Witch", by Michelle Pettit-Mee, about a Japanese
legend.

The Machinimas, literally a contraction of the words 'machine' and 'cinema',are short films created from tools used to produce videogames. Recentely,game sites like the Sims 2 or The Movies, by Peter Molyneux,enabled on the web tools that allow internet users to create by themselves their own short films, making use of the universe and the characters of videogames.

Because of this, we are watching the democratization of the phenomenon of the critic
deviation of videogames. That's how a simple film, made from the site The Movies, was able to spread the planet last November. Designed by Alex Chan, a french designer from Paris, 27 years old, this film exposes the dangers of the French political system and turns to be the 'voice' of the suburbs during the riots. The Tendency of the press opinion and international community of players show that the Machinimas is about to become a means of political expression.

This program has the support of MOSTRAVIDEO Itaú Cultural and is designed by
Isabelle Arvers, French curator of new media and specialized critic on video,
computer games, web animation and digital cinema.

Chevauchée Nocturne
Les Riches Douaniers, France, 2006, 6min24s

Benjamin Nuel, France, 2008, 13 min

www.maxhattler.com


MAX HATTLER ABOUT HIS WORK
“I am interested in the space between abstraction and figuration, where storytelling is freed from the constraints of traditional narrative. My work contemplates microcosms, moments, atmospheres: Close-ups as reflections on the big picture. While my films tend to be without dialogue, they explore the relationship between sound, music and the moving image.”

WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT MAX AND HIS WORK
One of “three of the world’s most exciting young animators” (Dazed and Confused)
One of "Europe's most hotly tipped visual artists" (Metropolis Magazine, Japan)
“Max Hattler is one of my favourite experimental animators” (Directors Notes)
“his personal work is a revelation” (Institute of Contemporary Art, London)
“Current hot potatoe” (Time Out London)
“absorbing and metaphorical visual musings” (Dazed Digital)
“made important contributions to the development of the field of animation” (Camille
Selvon Abrahams, Animae Caribe Festival Director)
“Max is definitely one of the most original, startling animators around with
range of projects, commercial and high art” (Ian Lumsden, animationblog.org)
“With a style that blends clever use of audio with simple and metaphorically laden
visuals, his work really just rocks” (Run-Riot)
"... animator Max Hattler ... uses objects, cameras and computers to drag you into
another dimension through shape, colour, movement, sound, politics, pop culture, off-
key on-point observation and kaleidoscopic geometry. His live AV sets are good too."
Carla MacKinnon, Hot 110

MOTO:
Often, the best moments in life happen when we're doing nothing, just meditating, just ruminating. I mean, we think that everyone is meaningless, but then we see that they may not be that meaningless if we realize it is meaningless, and if we are conscious of something that has no meaning, that is already a bit of meaning. You know, sort of a pessimist optimism. (Charles Bukovski)

OBJECTIVES:
Mumia aims the enlargement of imagination and of the possibilities of a new speech, of a new feeling and also of a new way of expression. Furthermore, it is also an incentive for the Brazilian cinematographic culture as long as it creates opportunities for new audiences, producers and directors.

Films and videos produced without any kind of support, no money at all or even those which caused loss to its producers and other ones made with very low budgets are welcome too.

PIXAR’S ‘UP’ WINS BEST FEATURE AT 37TH ANNUAL ANNIE AWARDS
Saturday, February 6, 2010 - UCLA’s Royce Hall, Los Angeles, CA

The Winsor McCay award was given to three industry leaders - Tim Burton,
Jeffrey Katzenberg and Bruce Timm. Named in honor of the prolific animator, Winsor
McCay, this award stands as one of the highest honors given to an individual in the
animation industry in recognition for career contributions to the art of animation. Tim
Burton accepted his Winsor via video. Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor, director, producer and one of pop culture’s most recognizable figures, William Shatner, handled hosting duties this year and was joined on stage by a lively mix of animation luminaries, celebrity presenters and comedic talent including animation legend June Foray, actors Seth Green John Leguizamo, Sean Astin and industry notables Pete Docter, Ed Catmull and Henry Selick. A special tribute to the late Roy Disney was introduced by Don Hahn.

“ASIFA-Hollywood congratulates all of the Annie Award winners,” said ASIFAHollywood President Antran Manoogian. “With so many outstanding animated productions and talented artists vying for an Annie, it made it another difficult year to select the best in our industry.”

Often a predictor of the annual Academy Award for Best Animated Feature,
the Annie Awards recognize the year’s best animated features, television
productions, commercials, short subjects and outstanding individual achievements in the
field of animation. Entries submitted for consideration were from productions that originally aired, were exhibited in an animation festival or commercially released between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009.

Created in 1972 by veteran voice talent June Foray, the Annie Awards
have grown in scope and stature for the past three decades, and is considered
the highest and most prestigious honor given in animation by the animation
industry. Today ASIFA-Hollywood, the largest chapter of the international
organization ASIFA, supports a range of animation activities and preservation
efforts through its membership. Current initiatives include the Animation Archive,
animation film preservation, special events, classes and screenings.
