Lipsett Diaries Trailer
March 19, 2010 3:27 am
An enticing trailer for Lipsett Diaries, a short directed by Theodore Ushev (Drux Flux, Tower Bawher). It’s rare to see animated imagery with such substance and beauty—so intensely powerful—and it’s only the trailer:
The film is written by Chris Robinson, the artistic director of the Ottawa International Animation Festival; this marks his first major involvement in the production of an animated film. LipsettDiaries.net has more background about Lipsett and the film, including a fascinating tidbit about the influence of Lipsett’s work on George Lucas and Star Wars. The film is in competition at Annecy this year, and something tells me it might be selected for Ottawa too. |
Reminds me of something I saw on PBS a long time ago as a kid. I gotta be honest – it doesn’t really appeal to me at all, but I can see how people can like it and find it very powerful. :)
That is beautiful. Can’t wait! Thanks for sharing.
I’m sorry. I know people can hate these kinds of comparisons, but this is far from demeaning. It makes me think of an animated Robert Rauschenberg, X-rays included.
It looks like Toccafundo’s work to me. That’s certainly a compliment.
Can’t wait! Has some of what I love in Piotr Dumała’s films.
Where are the pop-culture references and big name voice talents?
Seriously though it looks beautiful.
It is beautiful!!! That’s a great style, I’m really impressed!
disqualified from Ottawa. We’ll show it out of comp probably. Shame, but gotta be fair (for once).
I’ve heard rumors that those two are working on a project with Disney. I wonder what kind of…
“Where are the pop-culture references and big name voice talents?”
The narrator, 21-year-old Xavier Dolan, starred in his own film, “I Killed My Mother,” which won three of the four top awards at the Director’s Fortnight in Cannes last year. I’d say he’s a big name.
