ANALOGÍA DIGITAL. ANIMACIÓN HECHA A MANO EN EL SIGLO XXI
It may seem that there’s not a single thing in the world that isn’t done with a computer. But even in these times dominated by digital animation, CGI and GIFs of kittens, there are infiltrations by that analogue world that despises the mouse and the graphic tablet and holds out with pencils, paint, plasticine, stop motion or pixellation. Without turning their backs on the conveniences offered by technology, a whole constellation of animators in Europe are reaching magnificent aesthetic and creative limits. Those to which, for now, only the human hand can aspire.
These shorts can be watched on our online programme on FILMIN.
