We are delighted to welcome Paul Mendoza
from Pixar to this year’s BAF.
Paul has been in the animation business for
thirteen years. He was influenced by Miyazaki’s
early films, as well as the early Disney films,
to pursue animation as a career. Paul studied
at Academy of Art University in San Francisco,
and was subsequently hired by Pixar in 1997
where he has worked on nine films, including
The Incredibles and Ratatouille, and was an
animation lead on Cars. He is currently working
in pre-production on Pixar’s 2012 release, Brave. Paul currently resides in the San Francisco Bay
Area with his wife and young daughter.
UP
Paul will talk about how he came to work
at Pixar, his experiences at the multi awardwinning animation studio and look in detail
at the production pipeline. He will also talk
specifically about his work on Up and then open
up for questions from the audience. THE INCREDIBILES

Ray Harryhausen
BAF 2010 Lifetime Achievement Award + Jason and the Argonauts
Saturday 13 November 11.00am, Pictureville Cinema
We are delighted to announce that
master stop-motion puppet animator, Ray
Harryhausen is the recipient of the BAF 2010
Lifetime Achievement Award. Unfortunately Ray is unable to join us at BAF
to collect the award in person, but earlier in
the summer John Landis presented the Award
to Ray on our behalf. We captured the event
on film and will be screening this prior to the
classic Jason and the Argonauts, and during the
BAF Awards ceremony on Saturday evening.
Ray Harryhausen, who celebrated his 90th
birthday in June, made his name by developing
fantastic animated creatures based on legends
and classical mythology. He created a unique
body of work which combined stop-motion
puppet animation seamlessly with live action
cinematography through his innovative
technique of Dynamation. His films captivated
generations of audiences and his methods
inspired present-day film-makers such as
Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Peter Jackson
and Nick Park.
Jason and the Argonauts
Dir. Don Chaffey / UK / 1963 / 103mins / (U)
Todd Armstrong, Honor Blackman, Niall
MacGinnis, Nigel Green, Laurence Naismith,
Gary Raymond, John Cairney
Classic Ray Harryhausen special effects bring
to life the epic mythology behind Jason’s
journey in the search for the Golden Fleece.
Harryhausen’s memorable creations include the
harpies, the fighting skeletons of King Pelias,
the hydra, and Talos, the sinister gold giant.
Earlier this year the Ray and Diana Harryhausen
Foundation announced its intention to deposit
the collection of Ray’s lifetime of work, which
includes films such as The 7th Voyage of Sinbad
(1958), Jason and the Argonauts (1963), The
Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973) and Clash
of the Titans (1981) at the National Media
Museum in Bradford. Planning is under way to
transfer the collection to the Museum, though
it will be some time before the majority of
it arrives in Bradford. The Museum and the
Foundation are embarking on a fundraising
campaign to secure the Collection.

Gene Deitch –
For The Love of Prague
Thursday 11 November 4.30pm
Pictureville Cinema
During those early post WW2 years, Gene
became a fevered New Orleans Jazz fan, and
began drawing cartoons and cover designs for a
traditional jazz magazine, The Record Changer.
He created a character for the magazine, named
“The Cat” (a label of the time for a dedicated
jazz lover). Hundreds of those “Cat-toons”
appeared in the magazine from 1945 to 1951.
It was these cartoons that brought him to the
attention of Steve Bosustow and John Hubley at
the newly established UPA studio in Hollywood.
Academy Award winning animator Gene
Deitch, one of the grand old men of the Golden
Age joins us for a screening of “For The Love
of Prague”, a documentary about his life in
Prague, followed by a screentalk with Professor
Paul Wells and an opportunity for questions
from the audience.
Eugene Merril Deitch was born August 8
1924 in Chicago, Illinois, raised in Hollywood,
California, and educated there. Between the
ages of 8 and 16, he published by mimeograph
a little monthly magazine titled “The Hollywood
Star-News”. But his main ambition was to make
animated cartoons, and he was constantly
experimenting with home-made and toy film
projectors. With the encouragement of an art
teacher at Venice Junior High School, he made
his first animated cartoon film at the age of 13.
After graduation from high school in 1942, he
was drafted into the United States Air Force.
Upon his return to civilian life at the end of
WW2, he worked as a technical illustrator at the
North American Aviation and Lockheed Aircraft
factories, as an artist for a local Los Angeles
advertising agency, and as assistant to the Art
Director at CBS Radio in Hollywood. In 1946 he
started as an apprentice production designer
and layout artist working at UPA studios based
in Hollywood.
After the magazine folded, the drawings
became collectors’ items. Over 50 years later,
in 2003, all of Gene’s artwork for The Record
Changer magazine was collected in a large
coffee-table book, titled, The Cat On A Hot Thin
Groove, published by Fantagraphic Books, of
Seattle, Washington.
At UPA, in the mid-1940s, under the tutelage
of John Hubley and Bill Hurtz, he advanced
as an assistant production designer on the
Fox and Crow and Mister Magoo cartoon
series for Columbia Pictures. In 1949 he
received a surprise offer from the Jam Handy
Organization, (JHO), a large Detroit film
production company, where he had a chance
to spread his own wings. He directed his first
film at JHO, “Building Friends For Business”
and soon became head of the JHO animation
department, producing many industrial and
commercial films.
After two years at Jam Handy, UPA called
him back and sent him to New York, where
he became Creative Director of the newly
established UPA-New York studio, and won the
New York Art Director’s Club gold medals for his
pioneer TV commercials with Saul Steinberg,
and for the famous Bert & Harry Piels beer
commercials. Deitch was also responsible for
animating the original NBC colour peacock.
His animated UPA TV commercials were the
first ever shown at the New York Museum of
Modern Art; an entire month of screenings
in 1954, which also included a daily screen at
MOMA of a film recording of the nationwide
CBS-TV show, “Let’s Take A Trip,“ on which
Deitch guided the camera on a tour of the
studio. He also wrote and directed the cartoon
“Howdy Ddoody and His Magic Hat” (1952),
and Pump Trouble (1952) for The American
Heart Association. Simultaneously, he was
given a contract by United Features Syndicate
for his daily and Sunday comic strip, “Terr’ble
Thompson!” which he was only able to
maintain for a year, due to the increasing
demands of his animation work. However, a
few years later Terr’ble Thompson was morphed
into Tom Terrific!” which he created and directed
at CBS-Terrytoons.
In 1956 CBS had purchased the Terrytoons
animation studio and hired Gene Deitch as its
Creative Director. Deitch brought in new talent
such as Jules Feiffer, Eli Bauer, R.O. Blechman,
Tod Dockstader, Ray Favata, Ralph Bakshi, Al
Kouzel, Ernest Pintoff and others. His vision was
to re-invent the studio, to create a Terrytoons
“renaissance”.
Under his supervision and direction, the
studio created a number of innovative cartoon
characters such as John Doormat, Clint
Clobber, Foofle, Silly Sidney the Elephant,
and Gaston Le Crayon. Deitch earned his first
Oscar nomination for “Sidney’s Family
Tree”(1958). He personally created and
directed the Tom Terrific series for the CBS
Captain Kangaroo show. Tom Terrific, with
Mighty Manfred the Wonder Dog, was the very
first animated serial for American network
television.
Gene is especially proud that the name “Tom
Terrific“ has entered the language, and that TV
Guide, in their 50th anniversary issue, named
Tom Terrific as one of the “50 Greatest TV
Cartoon Characters of All Time!”
In 1958 he left Terrytoons to set up his own
studio in New York, Gene Deitch Associates,
Inc. which was immediately successful in the
production of TV commercials, but less so in
the attempt to get back into entertainment
productions. He could not find funding for
the projects he was interested in, such as
Munro, Jules Feiffer’s story of a 4-year old boy
mistakenly drafted into the United States
Army. A year later, with the financial backing of
William L. Snyder, Gene Deitch was promised
he could produce Munro and other films he
was interested in. However, the condition for
the financing was that Deitch would have
to move to Prague, Czechoslovakia to direct
animated versions of children’s picture books
for Snyder’s Rembrandt Films in a Prague unit
of the Czechoslovak state-run Bratri v triku
animation studios. Deitch flew to Prague in
October 1959, planning to stay only 10 days,
but soon realized that there was an opportunity
there to make the entertainment and children’s
films he could not get funding for in New York.
He entered into a 7 year directing contract with
Snyder, which resulted in a long list of TV serial
and theatrical cartoon films, such as, Anatole,
Samson Scrap & Delilah, and Munro. In 1960
“Munro” won the Hollywood Academy Oscar.
From 1961 to 1968 Deitch and the Prague
studio made 200 animated films for MGM,
Paramount Pictures and King Features,
including 13 episodes of Tom & Jerry (196061), 26 episodes of Popeye (1961-62), and 52
episodes of Krazy Kat (1962-63). In 1962, Gene
Deitch created several films called the
Self Help Series.

Two of these were based on books, and all
were narrated by Arthur Treacher. The series
began with “Self Defense...For Cowards” (1962),
which was nominated for another Oscar. The
film proved so successful that three more
were made, as a series, including “How To Win
On The Thruway”, “The Girl-Watcher’s Guide”,
and “How To Avoid Friendship“ (1964), which
was also nominated for an Oscar. In 1964,
Deitch created Nudnik, redeveloped from his
Terrytoons “Foofle” character. The series was
released by Paramount, 1963-67, and the first
Nudnik film was also nominated for an Oscar.
In 1968 he made a film directly for the Czechs,
“The Giants,“ which won the Grand Prize at
San Sebastian, Spain, and also at Columbus,
Ohio USA, but the film was promptly banned
by the Czechoslovak communist government
as being “objectivist.” However, it continued
to be distributed by Weston Woods as part of
their SIM (Stimulating/Informative/Motivating)
catalogue. Nine short ironic films featuring
“Mr Koumal” were also produced and became
a part of the SIM catalogue, along with a liveaction short, “Mime Over Matter”, featuring the
Ladislav Fialka Czech pantomime company, and
a half-hour live-action dramatic film, “Zlateh
The Goat,” from a story by Isaac Bashevis Singer,
and inspired by illustrations by Maurice Sendak.
At this time, after the Soviet led invasion
of Czechoslovakia, Willian Snyder ceased
production in Prague, and Deitch began what
was to become, by the year 2004, a 35-year and
continuing relationship with the Connecticut
children’s film producer, Weston Woods
Studios, inc., (now a subsidiary of Scholastic
Publishers),who specialize in the animation
film adaption of leading, high quality chidren’s
picture books.
As of this year 2010, he is continuing production
of children’s picture book adaptations for
Weston Woods.
Among the long list of prize-winning films
Deitch has adapted and directed for Weston
Woods are Maurice Sendak’s classic,“Where
The Wild Things Are” (1970), and “In The Night
Kitchen”. Others include “Drummer Hoff” by
Ed Emberley (1969); “The Happy Owls” from a
book by the Swiss artist, Celestino Piatti; Tomi
Ungerer’s story, “The Beast of Monsieur Racine”
(1971); “The Three Robbers” (1972); “Changes,
Changes” (1973); “Rosie’s Walk” (1970); “Patrick”
by Quentin Blake; “A Story-A Story” (1972); “A
Picture For Harold’s Room” (1973), “Harold’s
Fairy Tale” (1974); “Charlie Needs a Cloak”
(1977); “Stregna Nonna” (1978); “Leopold, The
See-Through Crumbpicker,” “Smile For Auntie”
(1978); “Teeny-Tiny and The Witch-Woman” a
Turkish tale, Tomi Ungerer’s “The Hat” (1979);
and “Moon Man” (1981); “Wings - A Story Of
Two Chickens”, from a book by James Marshall,
“The Emperor’s New Clothes”, “A Pig’s Wedding”
from a book by German author Helme Heine,
“A Story, A Story” and “Why Mosquitoes Buzz
In Peoples Ears” two African legends, William
Steig’s “Sylvester and The Magic Pebble” (1986),
two films from books by Deitch’s old colleague
Jules Feiffer “Bark, George” (2003) and “I Lost
My Bear” (2004) and most recently “Diary of a
Worm, Diary of A Spider and Diary of A Fly from
books by Doreen Cronin. And “Emily’s First
100 Days of School” and “Voyage To The Bunny
Planet”, two long films from books by Rosemary
Wells.
Deitch also filmed a documentary for Weston
Woods in 1977, “Gene Deitch: The Picture Book
Animated” in which he described graphically
the painstaking process of animating a picture
book. Gene also authored his own children‘s
book, “A Visit From A Turtle” which was
published in 8 languages.
In 1974 Deitch created a TV series for the Dutch
producer Frank Fehmers, originally called,
“Zip, Zok & The Baron”, but produced as “The
Bluffers,” first as a life-puppet film, but later
animated. He wrote the lyrics for 40 songs for
the project, collaborating with the young Dutch
musician, Eric Jan Harmsen. Now, in 2010, Zip,
Zok is being developed as a video game.
In between films for Weston Woods, Gene
took up several projects for another Dutch
producer Palm Plus Multimedia, of Hilversum,
The Netherlands, including 53 short films
adapted from books by Dick Bruna, creator of
the bunny character “Miffy”. Also for Palm Plus,
he supervised the production of 26 episodes
of a serial created by the Danish animator
Borge Ring, called “Anton” and two longer films
adapted from stories by the Dutch cartoonist,
Jan Kruis, “Jack, Jackie and The Juniors ”and
“The Cow Who Fell In The Canal”. He also
wrote nearly 80 Miffy stories for Palm Plus,
which were produced with puppet animation
in Holland. Now in production is a series of
graphic films for Japanese TV, adapted from
classical music pieces, under the series title
“DO-RE-DO”.
After the Czech Velvet Revolution of 1989,
and the establishment of a democratic Czech
Republic, Gene was able to write his memoirs
of being the only free American to have lived in
communist Czechoslovakia continuously for 30
years. His book, For The Love of Prague is now
in its fifth expanded edition, and sold mainly in
Prague bookshops for tourists. (Also available
on the internet.)
Gene’s wife, Zdenka Deitchova, manager of
the Prague animation studio Bratri v triku
has produced all of his films since his arrival
in Prague in 1959. Gene is the father of Kim
Deitch, the famous creator of comic novels.
Gene Deitch’s cartoon work has received many
honours over the years, earning one Academy
Award (Munro) and five Oscar nominations. In
1960 he was accepted as a full voting member
of the Hollywood Academy of Motion Picture
Arts & Sciences. Has also won the New York
Art Directors Club gold medal twice, and over
100 other international film festival prizes.
In February, 2004, he was presented with an
animation “Annie” from ASIFA Hollywood:
“The Winsor McCay Award for his Lifetime
Contribution to The Art of Animation.” He has
so far won four “Lifetime Achievement Awards,
but says he is still trying to achieve!
Even in his 86th year, retirement is still
not an option!

Paul Franklin
The Visual Effects of Inception
INCEPTION
In early 2009, director Christopher Nolan invited Paul to
supervise the visual effects for his new film Inception.
Paul was with the production every step of the way from
pre-production through to final delivery. The end result
is one of the most intriguing and visually spectacular
films to hit cinema screens in 2010.
Paul will talk through the making of VFX for Inception,
giving a unique insight into the tricks of the trade and
the script-to-screen process.
Paul Franklin has been making visual effects and
computer animation for over 20 years. During the 90s
Paul worked in videogames and television
before moving into feature film VFX. In 1998
Paul co-founded Double Negative which has
grown to be one of the world’s leading visual
effects studios. His credits include Harry Potter
and the Half Blood Prince, Batman Begins
and The Dark Knight. His work has brought
him nominations for an Oscar ® and two
BAFTAs. Paul was the overall VFX supervisor
for Christopher Nolan’s Inception and his close
working relationship with the director resulted
in some of the most spectacular imagery seen
in the cinema in 2010.

innovation and to give young animators
their first professional opportunity. She left
Channel 4 in September 1999 and completed
the initial stage of research into Tale of Tales in
the context of a readership at the Animation
Research Centre of the University for the
Creative Arts. Yuri Norstein and Tale of Tales:
An Animator’s Journey was published in
June 2005, and her subsequent book, British
Animation: The Channel 4 Factor, appeared
in November 2008. In 1999 she was awarded
the ASIFA Special Award for her contribution
to British animation and in 2008 she received
the Animafest Zagreb award for outstanding
achievement in animation theory.
Clare joins us to introduce two programmes
Channel 4: A Caring Eye and Channel 4: The
Documentary Way and to take part in a signing
of her book, British Animation: The Channel 4
Factor on Friday 12 November at 1.30pm in the
Museum bookshop.
GOING EQUIPPED
DEADSY
Channel 4 was set up, in 1981, by an Act of
Parliament which incorporated a very special
set of instructions. The programming was to be
innovative, challenging and appealing to audiences
hitherto not well served by television. While many
programmes were entertaining, entertainment
was never the prime motive. Issues, big and small,
were tackled by all departments, animation being
no exception.
The proposals coming into the Channel’s
animation department approached their themes
from a variety of original angles, sometimes
purely factual (documentaries feature in the
other Channel 4 programme at this year’s BAF),
frequently comedy (Joanna Quinn’s take on
feminism was seen in its full glory at the last BAF)
and from a range of other subjective viewpoints for
which animation is particularly apt.
Throughout the Channel’s history, concerns
changed and so did the films. In the mid-eighties
the nuclear threat was uppermost in people’s
minds and C4 did not flinch from the subject –
despite it being a potential turn-off for television
audiences. As well as Jimmy Murakami’s feature
When the Wind Blows (based on Raymond Briggs),
it commissioned a good few shorts, including
the two by David Anderson, Dreamless Sleep and
DAD’s DEAD
THE VICTOR
Deadsy, which are included in this programme,
the latter holocaust parable being scripted and
narrated by Russell Hoban.
More general, domestic issues occur throughout,
from Peter Lord’s Going Equipped (a serious piece
about a young criminal, made before Aardman
gravitated definitively towards comedy), to Chris
Shepherd’s Dad’s Dead, a drama set in an alltoo-real urban milieu, via Karen Kelly’s painterly
expression of a modern curse, Stressed. Global
issues also preoccupied our animators, with Derek
Hayes and Phil Austin’s The Victor reflecting on a
news story from the 70s about the US army using
experimental drugs on their soldiers, Keith Piper
taking the long view on race relations in Go West
Young Man and Ali Taylor’s Puleng visualising her
concerns regarding poverty in the developing
world.
When Jan Švankmajer submitted his proposal
for Food (1992), he told us it referred to an eating
disorder he had suffered as a child – a problem we
are familiar with nowadays. Yet we could not help
but see a political allegory in all that competitive
guzzling. Ruth Lingford tackled a whole range
of sensitive issues in Pleasures of War (made in
collaboration with writer and theologian Sara
Maitland). Does Israel’s victimhood justify acts of
aggression? Do soldiers get a high out of killing
people? Are women potentially as violent as men?
PULENG
Personal points of view do of course make
it on to our television screens in longer,
non-animated form, but usually couched in
much dialogue and discussion. Animation
gets straight to the point: in a short time it
can deploy a range of visual and narrative
techniques to make us really think.

SOME PROTECTION
ON PROBATION
Channel 4:
The Documentary Way
Animated documentaries go back a long
way, though early examples tended to have a
propaganda bias (viz Winsor McCay’s Sinking
of the Lusitania). John and Faith Hubley were
perhaps the first to use authentic recorded
dialogue, in their films documenting the
fantasies of their children at play. In this
country, BBC Bristol commissioned the
Animated Conversations (1979), which
included two films by Peter Lord and David
Sproxton, using that same technique. When
Channel 4 was set up, its first Chief Executive
was inspired by these, and commissioned a
whole series from Aardman (including On
Probation), intended to grace the Channel’s first
week on air (but in the event marking its first
anniversary).
From the outset Channel 4, with its remit to
challenge and to attract a thinking audience,
commissioned a great deal of factual material;
but commissioning editors were surprised and
intrigued when animators started submitting
documentary proposals. They came in a wide
variety of forms. Marjut Rimminen’s Some
Protection was part of a series on women and
A IS FOR AUTISM
the law and was not originally intended as a
documentary but an informed opinion piece.
But one research interview was so compelling
that the film finally came to revolve around that
particular woman’s interview and her life. Tim
Webb’s A Is for Autism is a unique collaboration
between two professional animators and a
group of autistic people, who describe and
draw their own childhood experiences when
growing up with this disability, while Paul
Vester’s Abductees is about a group of people
who believe they have been abducted by aliens.
Based on their testimony, some of which was
recorded under hypnosis, and their sketches,
a different animator was assigned to visualise
the story of each of the abductees. The 1998
Mixed Feelings series, however, approaches the
documentary form differently. The Channel 4
education department was looking for a lowbudget series as part of a season marking the
30th anniversary of legalised abortion in the
UK and commissioned four interviews with
people about their differing experiences of,
and consequent feelings about, the subject.
Filmed by two animators, the interviews were
then overlaid with snatches of animation and
video trickery to try to penetrate the emotions
expressed.
In more recent times the animation department
has not been in a position to commission the
rather costly works of the early days, but the
Animate scheme, in conjunction with the
Arts Council, has more or less single-handedly
carried on the tradition with a large number
of low-budget experimental documentaries,
four of which are included here. Jonathan
Hodgson’s Camouflage explores the fertile
territory (for animation) of mental illness; Sarah
Cox’s Dear Nelson follows the course of a love
affair via Simone de Beauvoir’s letters to Nelson
Algren; the Quay brothers visit the Wellcome
Trust’s extraordinary collection of medical
exhibits in The Phantom Museum; while
Emily Richardson’s Cobra Mist is a strongly
atmospheric account of the now disused site
where atomic weapons were once developed.

Chico and Rita
Dirs Fernando Trueba, Javier Mariscal
Spain, UK / 2010 / 94mins / (adv 15)
Cuba, 1948. Chico is a young piano player with
big dreams. Rita is a beautiful singer with an
extraordinary voice. Music and romantic desire
unites them, but their journey - in the tradition
of the Latin ballad, the bolero - brings heartache
and torment. From Havana to New York, Paris,
Hollywood and Las Vegas, two passionate
individuals battle impossible odds to unite in
music and love.
Oscar-winning director Fernando Trueba
(Belle Epoque) met acclaimed designer and
artist Javier Mariscal ten years ago when he
asked him to create a poster for his Latin jazz
documentary Calle 54. So began a fruitful
collaboration that saw Mariscal design all
the artwork for Trueba’s Calle 54 Records,
make animated pop promos for the label, and
together create a jazz-music restaurant in
Madrid. The idea to make an animated feature
film emerged out of one of those pop promos,
La Negra Tomasa by Cuban musician Compay
Segundo.

Chico and Rita will be preceded by a screening
of Bradford to Bollywood, which is a joint
UKIERI project between Bradford College
students and Whistling Woods International
students. A set from the project is on display

Wednesday 10 November, 4.00pm,
Cubby Broccoli Cinema
Our experienced panel of animation therapy
practitioners will illustrate through their
individual experiences and practice how
animation can be used as a powerful
therapeutic tool, and will take part in an
audience question and answer session.
Melanie Hani
Melanie believes that Animation in a
therapeutic context can stimulate positive
responses regarding learning, general attitude,
behaviour, encourage physical and mental
social interaction and improve physical and
mental skills overall. During her talk, Melanie
will journey through her life experiences
using animation as a social, educational and
healing tool, discussing the highs, the lows, the
progress, and developments that have occurred
as a result of each project undertaken. She will
look at four areas; working with special needs
education, working in a deprived community,
the severely bereaved and her most recent
area of research – using animation as a tool to
tackle attachment disorders, focusing on her
experiences working in a Slovakian Orphanage. She will highlight how her work has now
moved on from “therapy” and from Melanie
being a therapist to what she calls Healing
and Education using Animation Remedial
Techniques (Heart), and Melanie’s current role
as a facilitator.
Tom Madge
Tom will talk about how creative practice in
animation can be grown to promote the health
of young people with cancer. His focus is on the
patients as young people who are suffering not
only because of their medical condition but from
a dis-connection from opportunities to explore
their talents and creative instincts. Tom will
highlight in his talk how flexibility in approach
and opportunity in animation methods offers
them the chance to develop and capitalise on
ideas. Tom aims to help them see the value
in small seeds of interest, encouraging them
through a process of growing their creations
gradually, feeling their way to an outcome rather
than following a fixed plan. Seeing this journey
through is a very absorbing process and can
tap into reserves of motivation and enthusiasm
that may have been suppressed by a long stay
on the ward. Engaging and working with young
people who are being treated for cancer can be
a physically and mentally challenging for the
patient and the animator in residence. However
Tom will tackle in his talk how he overcomes
these barriers.
Yvonne Eckersley
Yvonne Eckersley will talk about her belief
in the potential of autobiographical
animation as a tool for examining,
evaluating and ultimately communicating
an individual’s experience to an audience
– developed out of her own practice and
by studying established practitioners who
choose to work in a similar way. She will
compare her own experience in producing
animation to what she has observed from
the fieldwork with Voice and show some of
the films produced with Voice and “Brush
The Teddy’s Toes”.

Spike and Mike’s
Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation
Friday 12 November, 9.00pm Pictureville Cinema
The screening will be introduced by Andy Wyatt
who will be signing copies of his book, The
Complete Digital Animation Course from
8.15pm in the Museum Bookshop.
This year Spike and Mike are proud to honor
our 30th Anniversary by presenting a lineup of some of the greatest shorts we’ve
ever shown: A collection of the classics, plus
premieres of the best we’ve ever seen! We
have accumulated a line-up that is part Sick
and Twisted and part all time favorites.
In America, Spike and Mike have theatrically
premiered films the likes of: “Beavis and
Butthead”, “Wallace and Gromit”, the first
“South Park” shorts as well as “Happy Tree
Friends”, and filmmakers including: Andrew
Stanton, Pete Docter, John Lasseter, Shane
Acker and Tim Burton.
Spike and Mike are always looking for new
shorts to premiere. Some of the highlights in
this years show include: Pigeon Impossible
by Lucas Martell, My Neighborhood Has
Been Overrun by Baboons by Cameron Edser,
Key Lime Pie by Trevor Jimenez, Hangnail by
Shane Acker, and a NEW Happy Tree Friends
episode.
Perhaps George Lucas says it best by saying
that, “Spike and Mike’s festival is a fun and
irreverent one-of-a kind festival. It provides a
wonderful opportunity for young animators
to strut their stuff.” Trevor Groth, Director of
Programming at the Sundance Film Festival
says, “The notoriety of Spike and Mike
has caused them to be dubbed the kings
of tasteless toons by animation industry
giants.”

Bradford Animation Festival hosts this 50th

premiere of “Happy Anniversary” animated by
young people around the world and the preview
world premiere of “Red”.
The ASIFA (International Animated Film
Association) Workshop Group is a global
movement represented in 23 countries and
on three continents. Every year a worldwide
animation project takes place, composed of
several regional young people’s workshops.
ASIFA aims to promote animation art globally
and attain mutual understanding through
animation.
I HAVE A DREAM
In August 2010 six families from Bradford with
children aged 8-12 took part in a week long
project to make a two minute film starting
and ending with a red dot. Using abstract art
and the work of pioneering abstract animators
including Norman McLaren as inspiration the
group explored rhythm, colour and shape in
their animation. Their film, Red will be edited
together with other films made in ASIFA
workshops over the globe; all starting and
ending with the same red circle.
The group worked with professional animator
David Bunting who has previously storyboarded
for Shaun the Sheep and animated on The
Tigger Movie. The project is a partnership
between the National Media Museum and
Education Bradford’s Family Learning Team.
The film’s soundtrack was recorded at Factory
St. Studios, Bradford with the help of producer
Darren Ibbotson.
“Happy Anniversary” features I have a Dream
which was made last year at the National
Media Museum, which has been screened at
Annecy Animation festival and at Hiroshima

Edinburgh and to film itself. It’s perhaps proof
that some elements of cinema are timeless.

lets you embark on an epic journey where you
control your own fate. This time you must lead
a rebellion, overthrow the King and ascend to
the throne. The decision to become a selfish
tyrant or a glorious leader is up to you. We’re
pleased to welcome lead Lionhead animator,
Andy Brunton, back to Bradford to talk about his
involvement with the game and breathing life
into Fable 3’s colourful cast of characters.
This concluding panel discussion will
focus on new technology and its impact
on the games industry. The new wave
of stereoscopic 3D, motion sensing
controllers and mobile gaming will be
discussed by a panel of experts. Chaired
by Game Republic Sector Manager, Jamie
Sefton panellists include Sony 3D Senior
Engineer, Ian Bickerstaff, The Guardian
Newspaper Games Columnist, Keith
Stuart, Dean of Computing, Informatics
and Media at the University of Bradford,
Ian Palmer and Director of Four Door
Lemon, Simon Barratt.
Game Republic Networking

A drinks and networking event (kindly sponsored

Pictureville Cinema Ground Floor
Pictureville Cinema, the National Media Museum’s

sound system are second-to-none.
Cubby Broccoli Cinema Floor 1
Named in memory of Cubby Broccoli, the producer
of the James Bond films, Cubby Broccoli Cinema (108

stock and the screen image is bigger than the human
field of vision. The Museum can now show the latest
3D IMAX films alongside classic 2D material. Ask at
the Box Office for delegate IMAX discounts.
On Location Floor 7
The Museum’s conference suite, On Location (85
seats) is used predominantly for workshops and
masterclasses. This is a private area. Please ask a
member of staff or a BAF volunteer if you require
access.

television programmes from the last 60 years of
British broadcasting history. A selection of the
competition and panoramas will screen in the TV

production of your delegate pass and is on a first
come, first served basis.
