In this ongoing series, we profile the most interesting independent animation filmmakers working today — the artists who, through short films and other projects, change our ideas of what the medium can do.
This week’s subject is Swiss animator Isabelle Favez, whose short films and tv work feature an assortment of odd yet lovable and compassionate characters seeking social connections.
In a sentence: Favez has created a diverse body of work, often aimed at younger audiences, that eschews loud, obnoxious characters and trite storylines in favor of quieter, deceptively simple, frequently silly, and visually vibrant stories that subtly transmit themes of cooperation and bonding.
