I’m Not There is a debut project of Zagreb-based designer and animator Mirta Filipović. Only a few months after her first encounter with 3D animation, she embarked on a mad attempt of making an animation video for the Zagreb-based band Paul The Walrus.I’m Not There is a result of a year and a half of sleepless nights, existential ponderings and questioning why would anyone ever try and make an animated video with only three months’ experience in animation. This animation is a story about power, who has it, who doesn’t and how those who seem to have it nevertheless account to someone greater than them. Hands, eyes and mouth are used as symbols of power and submission. Hands hold power and can shape the world as they please, while eyes and mouth are sensual organs that can only observe and receive impulses.

Pixar has been at the forefront of 3D animation innovations for nearly 30 years, developing new methods and technologies with nearly every new project. With their newest feature film “Elemental” hitting theaters, we take a look back at the ways Disney/Pixar has evolved over time. The studio has made advancements in how characters move, going from robotic motion in 1995’s “Toy Story” to characters who can intricately play music in “Coco” and “Soul.” In the early Pixar days, human characters were hidden in the shadows, but breakthroughs in movies like “The Incredibles” and “Brave” paved the way for more believable human characters. And clothes, which were once stiff, took center stage in “Onward” thanks to innovations from movies like “Monsters Inc.”

An official Cannes selection and winner of festival prizes and awards worldwide, ANOTHER DAY OF LIFE is a daringly ambitious dive into the chaos of war, based on the book by the journalist Ryszard “Ricardo” Kapuściński, one of the world’s most compelling chroniclers of conflict. Intercutting a graphically bold animation style with interviews and archival footage, the visually striking film conveys a rare immediacy as it tells of the outbreak of civil war following Angola’s independence from Portugal in 1975. Against all advice, Kapuściński is intent on driving south into the heart of the bloody conflict to find the isolated rebel leader Farrusco. His animated trip through corpse-strewn roads conveys an undeniable urgency, while the documentary testimony reminds us that we are watching actual history.
