92 courts métrages des Gobelins disponibles sur YouTube

Le Festival international du film d’animation d’Annecy vient de regrouper tous les courts métrages réalisés par les étudiants de l’école de l’image des Gobelins présentés lors de l’évènement depuis 1999 ; on parle ici de 92 films, soit entre cinq et six par an. Si les vidéos sont certes courtes, elles laissent néanmoins entrevoir le talent des élèves amenés à marquer de leurs empreintes la production audiovisuelle, que ce soit en réalisant des clips de groupes, des publicités ou encore des longs métrages.

Oscar-Winning Animated Short, The Dot and the Line, Celebrates Geometry and Hard Work (1965)

Based on the satirical 1884 fantasy novel Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin Abbott Abbott (which you can read in full here), “The Dot and the Line” tells the story of a romance between two geometric shapes—taking the archetypal narrative trajectory of boy meets girl, loses girl, wins girl in the end (finding himself along the way) and injecting it with some fascinating social commentary that still resonates almost fifty years later. One way of watching “The Dot and the Line” is as a “triumph of the nerd” story, where an anxious square (as in “uncool”) Line has to compete with a hipster beatnik Squiggle of a rival for the affections of a flighty Dot. via Boing Boing. Is It Always Right to Be Right?: Orson Welles Narrates a 1970 Oscar-Winning Animation That Still Resonates Today.

Is it possible for a short film made during the Nixon administration to perfectly describe America’s current, completely screwed up political situation?

Is It Always Right to Be Right?: Orson Welles Narrates a 1970 Oscar-Winning Animation That Still Resonates Today

Sure, Lee Mishkin’s Oscar-winning animated short Is It Always Right to Be Right? (1970) might date itself through oblique references to hippies, the Vietnam war and the Civil Rights movement, not to mention the movie’s groovy animation style, but the message of the movie feels surprisingly relevant today. You can watch the movie above. The short, which is narrated by none other than Orson Welles, describes a land where everyone believed themselves to be right, and where indecisiveness and complexity were considered utterly weak. “When differences arose between the people of this land,” intones Welles at one point, “they looked not for truth but for confirmation for what they already believed.”

A year later, you might be interested to know, Orson Welles narrated another animated parable. Is It Always Right to Be Right?

The theme---a brave little flea going up against greedy developers who are transforming his rustic homeland into a high rise vacation paradise for cigar-chomping high rollers and their stacked molls---sounds like the sort of thing that might appeal to Dreamworks. Of course, we'd need to flesh out the characters if we're shooting for feature length. Give that shambling donkey and plump-bottomed hen some wisecracking attitude, and maybe some mirrored shades.
