WTF is back! "The opposite of laughter is not seriousness, it is the reality", a certain Georg Hegel tried to proclaim. It’s time to forget about dark times for a short while and add glitter, tears of joy, white-knuckles, and shrieks of surprise by escaping with a few films!
Why don’t you step outside your comfort zone, be flabbergasted, shudder, roar with laughter or weep watching these 12 little gems selected with love to fire up the WTF2022?
You’ll shudder watching the disturbing creatures, understand the effect of magic mushrooms, experience insomnia where sheep won’t be your saviour, terrify macho men in the Parisian underground, float around in caustic universes, be an unruly bystander crossing the Red Square, lose your mind, legs, and more!
It won’t be a comfortable or relaxing ride, but it will definitely be unforgettable!
THINK DIFFERENT, THINK WTF <3 Gala Frécon and Sébastien Sperer
Sébastien Sperer
It was in 1999, at a crossroads, when the current CITIA ingested Sébastien Sperer into their Annecy International Animation Film Festival’s network server. This child overflowing with infinite dreams ad-libs his way from one specialty to another, programmer, selector, moderator, jury member, speaker, etc.
Since 2011 he has been presenting the Best of Annecy at similar events, and since 2013 organizing short films screenings in prisons, health care homes, bistros, churches and more.
Wherever he is, his desire is to make animation accessible to all, this medium where anything is possible… a kind of village hang-out where human experience exists unfiltered and unrestrained. With this in mind, he created the Midnight Specials "WTF" programme in 2017.
Fascinated by the mobilizing power inherent in the magic of film, his leitmotiv is: "Promoting intercultural understanding through the use of animated film, dialogue and transmission".
