Special Porgram: WTF

Houston, we have a problem… WTF2020 is doing WTF it wants!

As Lance Armstrong plainly put it on 20th or 21st July 1969: “WTF is a small step for man, but a giant leap for mankind”. In all modesty, let’s hope that this programme is declared as being in the public’s general interest in the near future…

This year, WTF2020 is offering you a genuine pyrotechnic extravaganza that includes fourteen films from all walks of life. You’ll discover short films from master filmmakers, talented students’ films, high-octane music videos that blow your mind, and an episode of +++ web series.
What could be better than this melting-pot of animated creations to liven up your days, or nights? Well, nothing of course!

The wayward among you who’ll dare to watch this full programme will come to a simple conclusion: the WTF2020 films are stripped bare, uninhibited and free. A genuine breath of fresh air in a somewhat world of savages.

ENJOY WTF

Sébastien Sperer

After crossing paths in 1999, CITIA took in Sébastien Sperer to become part of the Annecy International Animated Film Festival “network server”.

The adventure has nourished his limitless dreams by enabling him to try his hand at selecting and planning programs, moderating panels and conferences, being a jury member and much more besides: like presenting a “Best of Annecy” program at other festivals since 2011, and organizing short film screenings in prisons, health care homes, bistrots and churches since 2013.

Whether at home or abroad, Sébastien strives to make Animation accessible to all and the medium where everything is possible… a sort of common ground where a human experience can exist without filters or rules. With this in mind, he created the Midnight Special “WTF” program in 2017.

He is fascinated by the mobilizing force inherent to the magic of film and is driven to “Promote intercultural understanding through animated film, dialogue and transmission”.
