HOW TO MAKE AN ANIMATED DYSTOPIA?

Ana is a director and stop-motion animator specialized in making “cute“ dystopian plasticine worlds.

In her film “Rabbitland”, pink brainless rabbits held a free democratic election every single day, while “Untravel” tells us the story about an ultimately gray and isolated world surrounded by a huge wall.

For her, the most important thing nowadays is the animation usage as a powerful tool to address important social and political issues and that unfortunately, our (often bizarre) realities provide us with an almost unlimited source of inspiration.

Actually, directors are working on a new film called “Money and Happiness” which is about the “perfect” economy in a world full of hamsters.

In this presentation, Ana will be presenting their films, references, working process, the secrets behind the scenes, other materials and not to forget, some plasticine actresses will join the presentation as well.
