作頁太深﹕實驗動畫短片放映

動畫的雛型來自書本翻頁的過程。恍如彈指間紙張躍動，動畫就是一幅幅單獨的圖畫接續出現的嶄新觀看經驗——人類的視覺記憶殘留而令閱讀視覺的圖畫串連成新的意義。在創作動態的聲畫媒介中，繪畫是生產的原材料，成就了動畫師腦海中的故事。

倘若動畫的原材料不再是從頭畫起的畫像，而是已打印在書本裡、具既定指向意義的圖像，在「拆件再重組」的過程中，這些圖像的再現將產生什麼意義？而在插畫風格、印刷技術、紙張質感等不可變的因素當中，動畫師又如何對應這些創作上「不自由」的限制？

《作頁太深》集合了來自墨西哥、德國/ 瑞士、波蘭及香港四地動畫師的動畫短片。所有作品均以書本中的圖像作為創作的起點，並嘗試以實驗的手法，打開這些現成圖像的可能性和開闢出廣闊瑰麗的想像地景。放映結束後，四位創作人及 Tamas Waliczky 將會展開對談，向觀眾分享創作點滴。

Toothless

Clara mysteriously loses one tooth while sleeping. Swallowed by a gigantic mouth, and after being abandoned by her partner, she enters an underground world where a surreal Sci Fi advertising invites her to “ELECTRODENT” a clinic that promises to fix teeth… but not only.

Liber

Director: Simon Gerbaud

2013 | HDV | 4’34”

What is a library? Build a definition with words; knowledge, memory and refuge are, among others, the definitions of the users of this place. Animation explores them from their processes: capturing the light projected on a mirror and covered by a perforated sheet, organizing independent photographs to form a sequence, giving an expression to inert objects.

Artist Bio
Simon Gerbaud is a visual artist and director of the Bachelor of Film Animation at the Escuela Superior de Cine. He has participated in exhibitions, animation and video-art festivals in Mexico, Spain, France, the United States, the Netherlands, China, Japan and Iraq, among others. In 2019, he presents an individual exhibition at the Casa del Lago (CDMX) and the Cinemateca of Bogotá organizes a retrospective exhibition of his work.
