LIAF 2017: Edge of Frame – After Nature (Part One)

November 1, 2017 by LIAF

Following the sell-out success of our partnership with Edge of Frame during LIAF 2016, we’re returning with three curated programmes of work at the intersection of animation, experimental film and artists’ moving image. Specially curated by Edwin Rostron – the London-based Artist, Animator, Writer, Curator, Editor of Edge of Frame blog and Festival Juror this trio of programmes seeks to celebrate this incredibly rich and vibrant, yet often marginalised and hard to define art form.

After Nature is a two-part programme featuring works engaged with ideas of technology and the environment. In Part One a selection of films respond to man-made waste, disasters and ecological catastrophe. Part Two explores ideas of landscape and technology, and the merging of the real and the virtual, with works combining CG animation, live action and found footage.

Fragments (Naoyuki Tsuji, Japan)

Fragments, Naoyuki Tsuji, LIAF, London International Animation FestivalThis work is based on Chapter One of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen. The original text depicts a disaster brought about tools and technology. There is a connection between this theme and nuclear power plant accident that occurred in Japan in 2011. I attempted to create a new form of animation film through an interleaving depiction of the original story and a real accident. – NT.
