But, like i said to Jérémy, we’ll have a chance for revenge in a couple of days at Cordoba’s Animacor Film Festival,  where our short’s meet again! :) )))

Here we are, just an hour before the closing ceremony, this will be my last post while in Leipzig coz my plane leave’s early in the morning tommorow! It’s been a great festival and a great experiance! Many thank’s to festival organisors for getting me here, to this wonderful festival, and also for being such excelent host’s! Yesterday was “Pink Elephants-Young Animation” projection, a sold out show, i’m pleased to report!; where our short movie was shown, making that it’s third projection on DOK Leipzig! I was also invited to talk to the audiance after the projection about the movie and answer questions.

I took the opportunity to take a picture with the Oscar winners, Frank and Caroline Mouris! :)

All in all a really wonderful time here in Leipzig!

I know this is a film festival and that i should come here to watch movies and documentaries, but i couldn’t help my selfe, so this afternoon i had to visit the amazing Leipzig free climbing boulder room! :) ) Hey, sitting in theatre chairs all week i needed some exercise!:)

I didn’t just take photos :) )

Well, that’s it from me, i’ll post some photos from the closing ceremony when i get back to Split, but if we don’t win anything i’ll airbrush all the people out and say that the whole thing sucked! :)

DOK Leipzig-first impressions!

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Hi! This is Milivoj writing!

Ok, so i figured out how to upload the photos form my camera, re size them and put them on the web!-all this on an LINUX machine on german! a moment of personal pride!…..So lets begin!:)

Here i am in Leipzig DOK festival! The first day i did not have the time to write because i was driven directly from the airport to our film “SHE WHO MEASURES” screening in a gorgeous little cinema “ASTORIA”. The screening went well with a great audience response to our movie!

Since i have been accustomed to a modest budget and not so comfortable accommodations i did not expect much from the hotel room but coodos to DOK ! Kitchen in my room??! i could get used to this!:)

But, i did not travel all this way to hang out in my hotel room all day, so i was out to catch a few films! The official selection in the short animated movie category was excellent, with only an rare “please, finish already” moment!

At 15:30 we had a “Let’s talk about anima” conference where people asked questions about the movies to the people that worked on the movies. There, i had a chance to talk about our movie and answer some audience questions. This is how the setup looked-

We were uncomfortably placed on a stage! Luckily, the audience was in a good mood!

I recognized a familiar face from Annecy, mr.Dennis Tupicoff and his movie “Chainsaw”, which stuck in my memory, as i’m shure it did Veljko’s and Marin’s as well! Don’t mess with a man’s feelings or chainsaw’s!

lets finish with a few photos!

mmmmm, there is aparty soon, i must admit all this writing has got me hungry! See you all later!
