.: 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 the 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 2008:

Kodomo No Keijijougaku (A child's metaphysics)
Koji Yamamura

A child whose head is numerals, a child who winds his own face and has it under his arm. What was left is his identity, a child whose eyes are provided by fishes, a child who lies down on the floor and head-butts his identity, a child who cannot say anything because of a zipper across his mouth. He undo the zipper but under it there is another zipper... Ecology and philosophy of children with sadness and humour.
