9 MUMIA - SPECIAL EXHIBITION OF ECUADORIAN MOVIES


The College of Communication and Contemporary Art of the Universidad San Francisco de Quito is pleased to present a compilation of animated short films produced by students enrolled in bachelor's degree in Digital Animation, between the years 2003 and 2009.

The animated cinema in Ecuador is very young but has a few representatives eager to produce their films and show to the sister nations of Latin America and to the world that creativity, talent and love for animation are present here too.

We are proud to take part in the 9 MUMIA and we expect our students to be good representatives of Ecuador’s and USFQ’s animation.

9 MUMIA - OVERTURE - SITA SINGS THE BLUES – NINA PALEY


SITA SINGS THE BLUES – NINA PALEY – 82’- USA – 2008 – 35mm

Sita is a Hindu goddess, the leading lady of India’s epic the Ramayana and a dutiful wife who follows her husband Rama on a 14 year exile to a forest, only to be kidnapped by an evil king from Sri Lanka. Despite remaining faithful to her husband, Sita is put through many tests. Nina (the filmmaker Nina Paley herself) is an artist who finds parallels in Sita’s life when her husband – in India on a work project - decides to break up their marriage and dump her via email. Three hilarious Indonesian shadow puppets with Indian accents – linking the popularity of the Ramayana from India all the way to the Far East - narrate both the ancient tragedy and modern comedy in this beautifully animated interpretation of the epic.

In her first feature length film, Paley juxtaposes multiple narrative and visual styles to create a highly entertaining yet moving vision of the Ramayana. Musical numbers choreographed to the 1920's jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw feature a cast of hundreds: flying monkeys, evil monsters, gods, goddesses, warriors, sages, and winged eyeballs. A tale of truth, justice and a woman’s cry for equal treatment. Sita Sings the Blues earns its tagline as "The Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told."

Nina Paley (b. May 3, 1968, Champaign IL, USA) is a longtime veteran of syndicated comic strips, creating "Fluff" (Universal Press Syndicate), "The Hots" (King Features), and her own alternative weekly "Nina's Adventures." In 1998 she began making independent animated festival films, including the controversial yet popular environmental short, "The Stork." In 2002 Nina followed her then-husband to Trivandrum, India, where she read her first Ramayana. This inspired her first feature, Sita Sings the Blues, which she animated and produced single-handedly over the course of 5 years on a home computer. Nina teaches at Parsons School of Design in Manhattan and is a 2006 Guggenheim Fellow.
