JOSSOT titre film-web Jossot, from Gustave to Abdul Karim, Marc Faye (FRANCE, 2014), 54’
2D computer animatiom


In 1905, just before the law separating Church and State was signed,Gustave Jossot, a gifted, nonconformist, anti-clerical, anti-just-about-everykind-of-authority caricaturist and poster maker, drew one of France’s first political posters. When in 1913 he moved to Tunisia and converted to Islam, he was once again defying the ideas of his time.

The film explores Jossot's world, North and South. Gustave Jossot inspired the new generation of French caricaturists : Siné, Cabus, Charb, Honoré, Riss, Tignous, Besse, Lolmede, Luz, Willem, Catherine. The team of Charlie Hebdo, Siné Mensuel and Le canard enchainé often referenced his work.

The Animator Sings: The Rains of Castamere

DIRECTOR Aristarchos Papadaniel-web-got Inspired by HBO TV series Game of Thrones created by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and the series of epic fantasy novels A Song of Ice and Fire by author George R.R. Martin, the director-animator Aristarchos Papadaniel created a short animated film, which acts as an "animated choreography of departures" based on the series’ song The Rains of Castamere composed by Ramin Djawadi.

The film has been made with the technique of rotoscope animation.

Emblematic scenes of the series have been chosen, allowing for a new cinematic approach combined with the specific song. In particular, in the second part of the song, with a small change in two verses· the interest refocuses from the proud Lord of Castamere -which reference to his face works symbolically- to the young Lord Tyrion and the fatal relationship with his tyrant father, Tywin.


Film creator Aristarchos Papadaniel launches the new Be there! Corfu Animation Festival programme, “Τhe Animator Sings” and sings a cappella his own awarded film.

deadfileDeadfile is a music band formed in Corfu (2012), whose influences stem from post-rock, trip-hop, psychedelic rock and music scores

Two albums of theirs appeared during 2012, “Deadfile” and “Applied Oneironautics”, while “The City Under the Void” was released in 2014.

They appeared in Athens (Michalis Cacoyannis foundation) in 2014, as part of the festival “Radio Days”, organized by Last Drive and Makis Milatos. An acoustic set, first broadcast in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Francis of Assisi (Corfu) has been subsequently recorded.

They plan to release their next album in winter 2015, the first with the full scheme on board.

Film directors go through the animator's couch, and analyze their experiences: one-by-one. It's scary!
