.: Animac on tour to bring it to all publics and explain them in what consists the animated cinema.

Animac proposes, as one of the main objectives, to make the animated cinema closer to the citizens and to make it known and better valued by more people. That is the reason why Animac leaves home again, breaking with the limits of the auditorium and the city where the show takes place. Animac-Mobile has made a new selection of animated films to bring around a small show of the most significant sessions of the festival.

Animac-Mobile is a session specially addressed to schools and cultural institutions where two different performances are combined: firstly, a lecture in which it is explained what are the Animac and the animated cinema and, afterwards, the projection of 10 movies. All together makes a session of about one hour and a half of duration. The films have been selected through a criterion of technical and legal availability, because of their capacity to explain the characteristics of Animac and because of their quality and attractive for a public of all ages and interests.

These are the titles that will be screened during the Animac-Mobile:

The film tries to solve the classical riddle “How to bring a wolf, a sheep and a cabbage across the river, at one time, without them eating each other”. The rational solution of problems in theory doesn’t really work, when facing conflicts in reality.

The story is based on a Chukchee fairy tale. Two girls are picking berries in the forest and they meet a monster. Their escape isn’t that easy. Some Chukchee’s drawings from the end of 19th century and authentic music are used in the film.

LUX

Spain / 2007 / 8’45’’
The light of a simple desk lamp leads us to travel through time. It takes us inside a cathedral, the Seu Vella, and from there back in time to the origins of the city of Lleida. This is a fantastic journey through the organic architecture of time.
