Devotion to Animation



This year, Tampere Film Festival plunges deep into the world of animation. The animation marathon starts with a Ngo Mahn Lan retrospective, the oldest film dating back to 1965. The retrospective touches upon a variety of themes from ancient warrior myths strengthening national unity to everyday phenomena in domestic environments. The gem of the screening is the epic The Legend of Giong Hero (1971) that was awarded the Golden Dove in Leipzig in 1971 and the Golden Lotus in Vietnam in 1973.


Finland's neighbouring country Sweden is contributing to the festival programme with a worldwide rarity: a collection of Captain Grogg animations from 1916–1922 by Victor Bergdahl. The screening includes Captain Grogg and Kalle at the Darkies Ball (1917), a film banned in Finland in 1917, and Bergdahl's first film The Demon Drink (1915) that serves as a prelude to the medley of Grogg animations.


More recent animation is served in the Finnish premiere of Idiots and Angels (2008) by the American Bill Plympton. In this film tinged with black humour, the protagonist Angel wakes up one day with a mysterious pair of wings on his back and has to perform good deeds contrary to his nature. The screening opens with a short film Hot Dog (2008) featuring a tragicomical hero familiar from Plympton's earlier dog animations.


Pavel Koutský retrospective offers skillful metamorphoses from one form into another as well as storytelling on different levels and using different techniques. Koutskýs fiery dozen includes, for example, the film Curriculum vitae (1986) that won the Golden Bear in Berlin and the best animation award in the international competition at Tampere Film Festival in 1987. The maestro of Czech animation combines enthusiastic intelligence and cutting humour in his works which also reflect the social criticism typical of Eastern European animation.


The Festival programme also boasts a wide range of Brazilian contemporary animation. Brazilian UG offers a cross section of Brazilian animation representing a variety of themes and techniques. The latter screening also features Tyger (2002) by Guilherme Marcondes, a film that took home the Tampere Film Festival's Kiss for the best animation in 2007. The Brazilian UG screenings have been composed by the coordinator of Múmia Festival, Sávio Leite, whose new animation Earth (2008) participates in the international competition this year.


Competition screenings feature numerous other animations, too. Nick Park's latest film to star the characters Wallace and Gromit, The Matter of Loaf and Death (2008), takes part in the international competition, and the Finnish competition in the category of films under 30 minutes is flooded with animations from Turku.

MUMIA in Tampere

Múmia - Underground Worldwide Animation Festival – Brazil or MUMIA – International Underground of Short Animation.

As it is widely known, in ancient Egypt, mummification was used to preserve the corpse of important personalities, such as priests and wise men, by using balsamic substances – a way of sanctifying death as well as life, since what has been preserved in the pyramids and sarcophaguses – mummies, papyruses, decorative objects – constitute a true interface with not only some people’s lives but with a whole civilization.

The Múmia, by analogy, aims at preserving and making public the international production of animated movies,through open shows and panels which present facts and knowledge in the area,often produced by anonymous artists who rarely get paid for their work.Many of the movies which reach us through various ways, from different states in Brazil as well as from different countries in the world, would remain embalmed on the shelves of inefficient festival curators were it not for the cooperative spirit of Múmia, which is open to everyone without restriction.

The festival aims at amplifying the imaginative spaces and the possibilities of new utterances, new feelings, as well as a new way of expressing oneself. It is also an impulse to cinematographic culture that believes the formation of new audiences, as well as filmmakers. Films and videos that were produced with no support are welcome, including those which caused loss for their producers and were fully carried out with low or no budget at all.

MUMIA is a non-competitive initiative by animation professionals supported by CRAV (Centro de Referência Audiovisual de Belo Horizonte), the Historical Museum Abílio Barreto, Integrated Schools of the City of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, ABCA, ABCA-MG, SESC/Laces/JK, Leite Filmes, Pimenta Filmes and Miguilim Cultural. In 2009, its 7th edition will happen in Brazil.

MUMIA has as its finality the propagation of audiovisual animation production and aims at contributing for the development of videography as a language system, with specific format and production method.
Moreover, it aims at providing the public with a significant share of the national and international video-graphic production, which remains excluded from commercial film circuit.

MUMIA aprreciates taking part on one of the biggest short-films festivals of the world that is Tampere. For that, it has been chosen the most expressives brazilian animations and whose films has been awarded, that demonstrates the good moment of brazilian audiovisual. All the films have been already screnning on the six editions in Brazil.

Feminism, Vietnam, the Swinging Sixties in Tampere International Film Festival

Female filmmakers are strongly represented in the Tampere Film Festival program.
The Terra Femina display shows 21st century films that are feministic, humoristic, light, and hurtful statements about life as a woman. In addition to retrospects of Eija-Liisa Ahtila and dancer/choreographer/film director Miranda Pennell, we are offered the new film by Agnès Varda. One of the few female new wave directors in France, Varda has made a long documentary of her life and films, called Les plages d'Agnès (2008). This is the film´s Finland premier.

Vietnam. Now. focuses on the awakening tiger of Asia as a film-producing country. We will see a wide spectrum of rarely seen Vietnamese animations, short films, and documentaries from the 1960s to date. Vietnam War is also strongly present in the newer productions. Naturally it is not the only subject; for example, there is an entire screening of animations by Ngo Manh Lan, the oldest of which is from 1965.

The MoMA screenings are a continuation to the sixties theme. They include Andy Warhol films and rare American short films from 1905 to 1986. The displays have been assembled by William Sloan of The Museum of Modern Art. All three screenings are accompanied by musician Jimi Tenor. The Canon of Short Film screening keeps up the swinging sixties and Vietnam War themes, as does the Rake Special display with Emile de Antonio's In The Year of the Pig (1968).
Whatta Helvetia? screening hails from Switzerland with three screenings of short films and a long documentary La forteresse (2007). The short films show the dark side of Swiss life but there is cheeriness afoot to boot. The winners in their country have been assembled in the screening number 1; among them is also an Oscar nominee Auf der strecke (2007) by Reto Caff. La forteresse familiarizes us with the reception centre of refugees, and with its tenants and employees.

A Piece of India screening bores into the everyday life of Indian children in two documentary screenings by Rajesh S. Jala. The first screening shows films located in Kashmir; Floating Lamp in the Shadow Valley (2006), and short films Chinar (1996) and Aazadi (1996). The second screening shows Children of the Pyre (2008), located in Manikarika cremation cemetery in Varanas. The film won the prize for best documentary in both Montreal and São Paulo, and has toured numerous festivals including Pusan, Leipzig, and Amsterdam.

This year offers a wide and ranging spectrum of animations. Bill Plympton´s newest long animation Idiots and Angels (2008) premiers in Finland at this festival. Short film Hot Dog (2008) begins the screening. There are two screenings of Brazilian independent animation, curated by Sávio Leite, director of the Múmia Festival. European animation has its stand through two retrospectives; Swedish and Czech. The first one is an extremely rare collection of animation pioneer Victor Bergdahl´s Kapten Grogg adventures from 1915 till 1922. The same screening offers his first animation The Demon Drink (1915), as well as Kapten Grogg och Kalle på negerbal which was prohibited in Finland in 1917. Traditional Czech animation is represented by the Pavel Koutský retrospective, showing for example the 1987 winner of Best Animation in the International Competition in Tampere Curriculum vitae (1986). The animation also won the Golden Bear in Berlin.

This year the traditional Finnish Film Archive screening is located in the Hällä theatre with four screenings. Two of them include short films by Veikko Itkonen and a feature film order-made for newspaper Helsingin Sanomat called Thus Was the Present Day Born (1951). The two other screenings show short films by Valentin Vaala and Eino Mäkinen.

In addition to the traditional student screenings, this year offers two screenings of absolute gems; old films by those who have in their time studied in the fifty-year-old University of Art and Design, in the school of Motion Picture and Production Design. We see early student films by Pirjo Honkasalo, Anu Kuivalainen, and Lauri Törhönen. The idea of the Runaways screening is, on the other hand, to show what Finnish students have worked on in foreign academies.
This year Tullikamari is even more of a playground of both music and film than before. On Wednesday there is the Art of Fusion screening, with a 16-mm projector performance MetalkinG from France by Gaëlle Rouard and Etienne Claire. The same screening sees Magyar Posse accompanying a Petri Hagner film Aldebaran Rising. On Friday, there is a documentary on the birth of dubstep, Bassweight, as well as music videos from London. On Saturday, there is a second project by Rouard and Claire, and afterwards Tullikamari is taken over by Tags´n´Beats, a night party of street art and hip hop culture.

Traditionalists on the other hand may enjoy the documentary Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison (2008) which addresses the musician´s career through rare archive material and interviews. The new Finnish music videos of the year are naturally shown as usual.

6 MUMIA - International Underground Short Animation - Brazil


MÚMIA 6
ART IN THE HOLES

Contrarily to everything that sags upon the Earth, underground subsists, persists, as a nut that is hard to crack and as a place where speculation can break one's teeth. In order to inspire people at this crisis period, we shall bring art from the unconsciousness to the world conscience. ART FOR ALL SENSES.

And especially, animation art of the most vigorous kind, as an illuminated vertigo of the best cinema productions. An art that has shown itself more as a technique than a genre, so inventive that it mixes, to the almost handcrafted feature of it, a sophistication that has the necessary power to save cinema from sameness.

The 6th edition of Múmia unifies this “cracked” world and brings films from GERMANY + SWITZERLAND + JAPAN + BELGIUM + SPAIN + AUSTRALIA + HOLLAND + SWEDEN + COLOMBIA + FRANCE + USA + PORTUGAL + CROATIA + POLAND + TURKEY + OVER 60 BRAZILIAN ANIMATION FILMS, repeatedly awarded, along with the sensational SPECIAL SCREENINGS / EXHIBITION PROGRAMS.

MÚMIA SCREENS EVERYTHING FOR EVERYONE. OCCUPY THIS TERRITORY!www.mostramumia.blogspot.com

5th MUMIA - INTERNATIONAL SHORT UNDERGROUND ANIMATIONS


















WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD SLEEPS SOUNDLY


No doubt we live in an era of uncertainties as we are sure to die sooner or later. It is also sure that some thoughts will remain longer than others that are considered more ordinary. Time is eternal. And along with it some contemporary works will vanish – some quickly – others will go on blowing fantasies into other human beings. Indefinitely.

When holding a show of the art of animation from all over the world we propose playing with the collective unconscious. Or at least recovering a spark of the cosmic memory of thousands and thousands of known lives over the planet.

The play is serious with due respect to those who will never lose sight of the independent and democratizing (such worn out word!) character of showing all, with no distinction.
