"It is reasonable to think that Doyon intends to present an allegory about cinema itself. By animating the filmstrip, he emphasizes the medium not as a mere transparent container for the story, but as an active and living part of the narrative, with its own materiality, fragility, and identity."

‘Dizzy Cavalry’: quando il Western incontra l’imprevisto

Dizzy Cavalry è un cortometraggio d’animazione western di un minuto diretto dal regista canadese Patrick Doyon, presentato in anteprima italiana all’evento Archivio Aperto 2025 presso la Cineteca di B...

Day 4 of Archivio Aperto festival.
My film is presented in front of the feature film MUSEO DE LA NOCHE, which revisits the New York queer underground scene of the 1970s (I wish I could teleport myself to Bologna).

Sur ma bucket list des choses impossibles à imaginer, être présenté sur grand écran à la @cinemathequeqc.bsky.social avant un film de John Ford (mettant en vedette James Stewart et John Wayne) serait sans doute dans le top.

(C'est dimanche le 28 septembre à 16h00).

Almost two full months later, I finally was able to bring my Eisner trophy home! It exists! It's heavy! The globe spins! It's unreal!

Huge thanks to @powpowpress.bsky.social / @editionspowpow.bsky.social without whom none of this would have been possible ❤️

Connaissez-vous la blague?

Critterz voulait aller à Cannes.
Cannes s'est tassé.

Cartoon Brew @cartoonbrew.bsky.social · 21d

Tech investors are fast-tracking an AI-generated animated feature, 'Critterz,' for Cannes 2026. Sold as “democratizing” animation, it instead raises urgent questions about craft, labor, and storytelling driven by algorithms rather than inspiration.

OpenAI-Backed Animated Film ‘Critterz’ Aims For Cannes

OpenAI’s AI-backed 'Critterz' is sold as a test of ‘democratizing’ animation, a framing that feels disingenuous in today’s industry context.

Remember when WeTransfer wanted to use transferred files to train AI? Well the same tech company (owner of Wetransfer) recently bought Vimeo (and it is not a good sign). www.shortoftheweek.com/news/vimeo-s...

"Make Wavelengths great again!"

Barry Hertz @hertzbarry.bsky.social · Sep 2

In 2016, TIFF’s essential Wavelengths slate had 15 features, four shorts programs and five installations. This year, just eight features – fewer than Primetime, the section that previews TV series – three shorts programs and zero installations. #TIFF50 www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/ti...

Yes, the works showcased can be ‘experimental.’ But we should welcome the unexpected

"The problem isn’t one of access anymore, but of curation. Great films are harder to find because they’re being drowned out."

Don Hertzfeldt has curated 'Animation Mixtape,' an 85-minute anthology of animated shorts, which premieres at the IFC Center in New York today. We spoke with him about spotlighting standout work and why focused distribution matters for shorts.

Laika Aged Through Blood is a hell of a game : mixing Motocross Maniacs, Hollow Knight and Mad Max franchise makes it unique. And the introduction is one the catchier I played (in the same category than FFIII and Mother 3).
