The weekend programme of ANIFILM 04 is chock full of events!

Just a sampling:

Tim Decker will present two American schools focused on animation through their best films.
Before noon we will start GAME DAY, a weekend programme focused on computer game animation during which visitors can see presentations of previously realized projects and projects in development, as well as talks by foreign and domestic game developers. Jakub Dvorský has put together a block of interesting indie games for ANIFILM. And of course you can try some of them out on your own!

At noon, renowned Czech animator, screenwriter and director Aurel Klimt will reveal that reports of the death of the first being in space have been just rumours: Laika is still alive in a far-flung corner of the galaxy – and she will soon have her own feature-length animated puppet sci-fi musical. The film’s budget is EUR 2,000,000. The presentation of this film-in-progress will take place at Třeboň’s Světozor Cinema at 12 noon.
ANIFILM presents the Czech premiere of a long-anticipated film on “the dead Python”, Graham Chapman. This open homosexual and secret alcoholic comes to life in A Liar’s Autobiography: The Untrue Story of Monty Python’s Graham Chapman. The film will be presented by three of its filmmakers: directors Ben Timlett and Jeff Simpson and animation supervisor Justin Weyers.

At 7pm in the Czech Television Auditorium (Sál ČT), visitors can look forward to a discussion panel on the subject of the UPA. This legendary company founded some 70 years ago changed our view of modern animation, and in recent years its original principles have found new relevance. Moderator: Amid Amidi; guests: Gene Deitch, Emily Hubley and many more.
