- PublicationLa apuesta independiente de la animación europea, a través de El pan de la guerra(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-03-01) Ballester Cabo, Rosa[EN] The Breadwinner (Nora Twomey, 2017) is an Irish-Canadian film by Cartoon Saloon, with the cooperation of Angelina Jolie and Jordan Peele as executive producers. The movie adapts Deborah Ellis’ best-seller novel, published in 2002, which has won several literary awards, and it was inspired by numerous interviews to women and girls living at refugee camps of Pakistan and Russia. The Breadwinner tells the story of Parvana, an Afghan Young girl who pretends to be a boy to be able to support her family during the Taliban regime. The animated film was premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival 2017, and it has been nominated as Best Animation Movie for the 2018 Oscar® Awards. For the following article we have had one of the designers and concept artists of Cartoon Saloon, the Valencian Rosa Ballester, who explains the film’s production process in conversation with Nora Twomey (director of the film) and Fabian Erlinghäuser (animation director).
- PublicationLos cambios de rol en los festivales de cine de animación. Crónica desde Animafest-Zagreb(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-03-01) Benavent, Rocío[EN] Animation festivals and their functions begin to center attention in the international studies and analysis on animation. Within the Animafest-Zagreb Festival and as a complementary part of this, the Scanner Symposium for Contemporary Animation Studies was created in 2013 as a place for discussion and exchange of ideas about animation. The Symposium’s fourth edition (2017) aimed to create synergies and interactions between the most theoretical and practical approaches, to generate new discourses and stimulate exchanges between the film-makers and the academic-scholars at the animation sector. It is one of the scarce meetings of this kind that are celebrated worldwide, and this time were discussed topics such as comics and animation, animation in the mind or new media, virtual reality and web. But the most interesting proceedings — which motivated us to attend — were those about the development and change of role of animation festivals, and their important task in the support of this appreciated art.
- PublicationDe Top Cat a Don Gato: acerca del doblaje en animación(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-03-01) Orfila, Jorgelina; Ortega-Grimaldo, Francisco[EN] Hanna-Barbera’s Top Cat (1961-1962) was, and still is, widely popular in Mexico as Don Gato y su Pandilla. By adapting the script and lending their voices to the characters, local translators and voice-actors secured the positive reception of the cartoon, whose plot centered on the failed moneymaking schemes of six NYC alley cats. Although their marginal social condition already made them attractive to the Mexican audience, dubbing was critical in changing the cats into relatable local characters. Don Gato illustrates how Latin American countries manage to appropriate U.S. mainstream products for the dissemination of regional content: while the visual delivery remained unaltered, the dialogue and the character’s voices were unmistakably Mexican.
- PublicationDel largo al corto. Khris Cembe, un director de animación polivalente(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-03-01) Navarro Álvarez, Adriana[EN] Khris Cembe (Cangas, Galicia) is a 2D animation director, producer and filmmaker. He has participated with Goya winning director Alberto Vázquez as animation director in the short films Birdboy (2011) and Decorado (2016) and the feature film Psiconautas, the forgotten children (2015). In his own short films, Cembe debuted as director thanks to a successful and intense crowdfunding campaign in Verkami with Viaje a pies (2015), a black comedy set in a train that combines different styles of animation, traditional, digital and some well camouflaged 3D.” He is currently working on his latest film, with a suggestive title Soy una tumba, that won the Movistar + Short Project Award in 3D Wire animation market. At the same time, he combines his work as animation director in the feature film Unicorn Wars, a Spanish-French co-production in which he returns to team with Alberto Vázquez.
- PublicationDesarrollando Porto: un videojuego sobre patrimonio cultural(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-03-01) Roque López, Miguel Ángel[EN] This paper introduces the results of a multidisciplinary proposal focused on the construction of a space for interaction between the cultural and artistic heritage of Porto and the user through the development of a virtual learning environment on the cornerstone of videogames as a model of experiences immersive and learning from entertainment. For this, we will analyze the creation process of Porto the video game (IDECA, 2017), currently in prototyping phase, whose gameplay demonstrates the importance of video games as a tool for developing the skills in secondary students and the viability of models of development based on photogrammetry techniques and development through game kits.

- PublicationImpromptu o la magia de la imagen cinematográfica celebrada en un musical animado(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-03-01) Pérez-Guerrero, Ana M.[EN] Impromptu (María Lorenzo, 2017) is an animated film shortlisted for the Goya Awards 2018. A Valencian production by Enrique Millán, despite its still brief tour by festivals, the short film had its Spanish premiere at the prestigious ALCINE - Alcalá de Henares Film Festival, it has accumulated numerous international selections, and it has won the award for Best Artistic Animation at the 1st Expression Art Movie Festival in Los Angeles (USA). But Impromptu is, above all, a love letter to the origin of cinema, drawn by hand. Its traditional animation labour, the difficulty sought in the execution of the work and the issues addressed make Impromptu as personal as counterflow piece. The beauty and power of this brief, but mighty work, synchronized with Chopin's music, are the authorial marks by María Lorenzo: it reunites the use of the piano as a fetish instrument of the musicalization of her productions, the presence of flowers, of the waves and the portraits by which it shows a certain predilection.
- PublicationLGBTI y feminismo en animación televisiva: una reinterpretación de Steven Universe y Sailor Moon(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-03-01) Delamorclaz Ruiz, Carolina[EN] This research delves into one of the series that has possibly succeeded in making visible for a young audience subjects such as feminism, issues and gender issues or homosexuality: Steven Universe, created by Rebecca Sugar in 2013 for the TV channel Cartoon Network. Starting from the analysis of this series and the references that have helped its creation, we will make more understandable the LGBTI panorama in television animation during the last decades. For this, it is also necessary to include in this text the detailed study of another series, the Japanese Sailor Moon, created in 1992 by Naoko Takeuchi, because it is, in turn, one of the most important influences in the series by Sugar, but also the highlight series from which a chronology of LGBTI in television animation must be started.
- PublicationMás allá de las hurdes: Buñuel en el laberinto de las tortugas(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-03-01) Meneu Oset, Ignacio[EN] Extremadura had its leading role in the 30s thanks to the great filmmaker Luis Buñuel, who shot in 1932 his documentary Las Hurdes, tierra sin pan at one of the most Spanish depressed counties. The film could be done thanks to Buñuel’s friend Ramón Acín who, after winning a Lottery prize, decided to financed the documentary that would be a landmark in Buñuel’s cinematographic. Now, 85 years later, Buñuel returns to Extremadura as an inspiration for a film based on the graphic novel by Fermín Solís, called Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles. Produced by Sygnatia and The Glow Animation Studio, with co-production by Submarine (The Netherlands), and with the contribution of Valencian studio Hampa, it is a 2D animation film for adults in a territory unusual for this type of work, Extremadura. South of Las Hurdes is Almendralejo, home of The Glow Animation Studio, a studie that we have visited to know everything about this ambitious production.
- PublicationEl modelo de cuento de hadas de las producciones animadas de Walt Disney: la importancia de la música en su construcción y su influencia en películas producidas por otros estudios(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-03-01) Montoya Rubio, Alba[EN] When referring to “classic Disney”, it is usual to associate these movies with fairy tales and songs. Nevertheless, not all Disney productions are fairy tales adaptations, but the studio takes elements from these tales and puts them in many of its movies. In this way, as well as with the help of songs, Disney creates its own conventions and a new model of fairy tale. Moreover, throughout their history, the Disney company have incorporated their own conventions, as giving more importance to romance plots or the inclusion of the American Dream. Thus, the main point of this paper is clarifying how these conventions are influent, both in animated films and live-action film adaptations of fairy tales.
- PublicationLa música como temática narrativa en Susurros del corazón(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-03-01) Esteban López, Lidia[EN] Music is not only part of the soundtrack, but it can also be developed as a narrative topic inside the film. The aim of this article is to identify the link between the topic of music and the storytelling of the animated movie Whisper of the Heart, directed by Yoshifumi Kondō, produced by Studio Ghibli. To verify the importance of the changes made by Hayao Miyazaki while adapting the original comic to a film, we use Bordwell and Thompson’s Film Art: An Introduction as a reference. The dichotomy form-style will be used in order to make a practical analysis of this feature film.
- PublicationEl pasillo. Emprendimiento animado desde la universidad(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-03-01) Gil Soriano, Marta; Cruz Barceló, Julia[EN] Within the entrepreneurship spaces of the Fine Arts School, known as The Corridor, it has been created a small animation ecosystem, which work philosophy is based on synergies to carry out projects. A key point of this philosophy is the internal advice that is provided in all branches of animation knowledgement, as well as members outside this group. To make these spaces better known, they are promoted internal proposals with the support of the school. The most recent examples of this are related to the last Prime the Animation! 5 festival, with the participation of projects at the Blue Room stands area, as well as the Frame-Up. Short animated Films exhibit in Las Naves, with the support of the School, the UPV Master Animation Degree and the Valencia City Council.
- PublicationPatchwork, remendando ideas y técnicas en un novedoso proyecto de animación(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-03-01) Manero Muro, María[EN] Patchwork (2018) is at the same time an animated documentary and a fictional short film, directed by María Manero about her mum life experience: Loly, a 60 years old housewife and mother. It is an ambitious Master Degree Project made at the M.A. of Universitat Politècnica de València, in a collaboration with Abano Producións, a wellknown producer winner of a Goya Award during 2017 based on Galicia, Spain. With its original visuals and achieving a profound human renewal, Patchwork tries to not just concern about human transplants but also to make people aware of reusing scraping materials, and it proposes a particular form of poetry — not very common in animation. This project was involved in a stimulating crowdfunding campaign in collaboration with the NGO Fundación Imaginario Social and was delivered in a science symposium. In the next pages, the film director María Manero tells about the conception of the project, her personal interests, and the project´s main stages of production.
- PublicationLa primavera de la animación en series 2D(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-03-01) Rodríguez Valdunciel, Sergio; Dpto. de Dibujo; Facultad de Bellas Artes; Grupo Animación de la Universitat Politècnica de València[EN] 2D animation for television is one of the contents which has accompanied us over the years. Hanna Barbera Studios undertook to find a profitable production system to carry out more than 200 different series. What happens sometimes with some successful series is that they seek to repeat formulas, with the risk of falling into repetition, neglecting creativity. But there are always people looking for a new point of view, as Fred Seibert, the first director of Cartoon Network, who put on displays a series of new characters, which marked a before and after. Today, we are enjoying creative, fun, different series that entertain the whole family.
- PublicationQuien mira en su interior, despierta: Morning Cowboy(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-03-01) Lorenzo Hernández, María[EN] Morning Cowboy (2017) is a unique short animated film by Fernando and Elena Pomares, produced by Travelogue Studio, with the collaboration of Movistar +, Generalitat de Catalunya and ICAA. After passing through the highly selective 67th Berlin Film Festival in the Generation section and at the prestigious Lucania Festival, and having won significant awards, such as the Best National Short Film Award in 3D Wire (Segovia), Morning Cowboy has been one of the most emblematic titles of the Spanish short animation film in 2017, and it will surely remain that way in 2018. In its intense 15-minute length, which at times evokes John Ford’s films but also Italian Cinema, Morning Cowboy takes us to the Western world, a cinematographic genre associated with the romantic and heroic one, but also with the evasion and the fantasy, like the animation itself, that are linked metaphorically in the world of the dreams of its protagonist.
- PublicationRecreando el fotorrealismo: la consultoría visual del director de fotografía Roger Deakins en Wall-E(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-03-01) Viñolo Locubiche, Samuel; Suárez Gómez, Rafael[EN] The rising dominance of CG film techniques in the early 2000s has led to an interesting artistic canon shift in animated commercial feature films produced in the US. Although Hollywood 2D animation always flirted with the photorealist style, it was only after the standardisation of digital techniques in the 1990s that such trends became commonplace in commercial animation, thanks to the many possibilities of computer-generated images. This paper considers the release of Wall•E (2008)—one of Disney/Pixar’s most visually impressive works—a crucial moment in such aesthetic process, as the film marked the first collaboration between the cinematographer Roger Deakins and a US animation studio. The paper analyses Deakins’s visual assessment in Wall•E 's first ten minutes to determine how the movie could be regarded as a relevant landmark that pushed new boundaries for digital film photography.
- PublicationTodo se conecta, lo real es irreal y lo irreal real: Contact(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-03-01) Carpizo de Diego, Silvia[EN] This review is a cinematic reflection about the concepts from the film Contact (2017), by the Italian director — based in Barcelona — Alessandro Novelli; a short film with a deep symbolism based on the original perception of its author, the perception of the world that surrounds him. It is not a narrative short film, but rather an intertwined union of ideas in an artfully poetic audiovisual piece, and with strong principles to awake the awareness of the audience. Filmmaker Silvia Carpizo has written this review from her perspective as a spectator, with her vision as a filmmaker, and also with the free collaborative vision of Novelli.
- PublicationTrazos de luz. Abi Feijó y Regina Pessoa: 25 años de animación portuguesa(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-03-01) Herráiz Zornoza, Beatriz; Vidal Ortega, Miguel; Dpto. de Comunicación Audiovisual, Documentación e Historia del Arte; Dpto. de Dibujo; Facultad de Bellas Artes; Escuela Politécnica Superior de Gandia; Grupo Animación de la Universitat Politècnica de València[EN] We are entering a fascinating journey through Strokes of Light, a retrospective of the Portuguese animators Abi Feijó and Regina Pessoa, inaugurated on 26th September 2017 in the Sala Josep Renau (UPV). This exhibition included original works from their animated productions, pre-cinema toys — and even a light table for tracing sand!, to the delight of students, scholars, and public lovers of the septième art bis. The Lusitanian tandem is a worldwide reference for contemporary auteur animation. Committed to his country and the spreading of the animated image, Feijó revitalized the sector in the nineties through the Cinanima Festival and his company Filmógrafo, providing Portugal with a new generation of independent filmmakers, and, particularly, with one of the artist’s revelations of the international animation in the present century. After giving us a singular plastic manufacture owing to the Piotr Dumała’s animated engraving and embellished with a deep thematic sensitivity towards popular culture and childhood traumas, Pessoa reveals to us her delicate artwork, which, as you will notice throughout the text and in the exquisite images that accompany it, shines with its own light. Bom viagem!
