Say ‘Swiss’ Cheese!

Past Events

Speaker: Rolf Baechler
Date: 5th November 2011
Time: 2 pm to 6 pm
Venue: Whistling Woods International, Film City, Goregaon (East), Mumbai

A rare opportunity to watch Swiss animated films curated by Rolf Baechler from Trick & Film & Animation, Zürich. Swiss animation is very diverse with no one distinct style representative of the country. In fact, diversity has been the hallmark of Swiss animation from the outset. Rolf will present animated films by the best known animation directors in Switzerland (including Georges Schwizgebel – one of the most prominent and acclaimed of all Swiss animators, François Chalet, Rolf Brönnimann and Basil Vogt) as well as films by some of his students and his own films.

An Animated Journey with Darcy Prendergast

One of Australia’s best animated minds, Darcy Prendergast will talk about his journey in animation, starting with his early days before he even knew what he was doing and then as his work improved over time. He will show his portfolio and share his experiences – the decisions, risks and jumps that he has taken along the way. This will be followed by a Q&A session.

He has lectured at RMIT and NYU in Stop Motion Animation Techniques and has a clay animated kids series, titled ‘The Critter Litter” in development with Nickelodeon under his ‘Oh Yeah Wow’ banner.
