3D Shorts for 8+
45 minutes
In animation, 3D often refers to the spatial aspects of the sets and characters. In addition, in recent years, large feature productions are almost typically released in stereoscopic 3D, referring to the perspective of the reproduction, a costly technique that initially was only affordable in commercial applications. This is why children will mainly know it from its spectacular effects. But nowadays more and more artistically oriented short films appear in 3D.
This section was organised with Marc Bertrand, producer at the National Film Board of Canada. He will attend the festival and elucidate the programme for young visitors (using an interpreter). The programme also fits in with the festival’s theme: Animation and Music.
This program screened as part of HAFF 2014

Private Eyes
Matthew has a secret power: he can see in the dark! He does it with the eyes
hidden in his ears, his fingertips, his toes, his tongue, and even his nostrils. His
keen senses don’t miss a thing. Matthew is a super detective. His current mission
is to find out what his parents are planning to give him for his birthday. Our
intrepid investigator searches his room, his house and his neighbourhood. His
clues are the sounds, smells, tastes and feel of everything around him. Matthew
may be visually impaired but he has remarkable powers of observation and
soon solves the mystery. Or so he thinks. Published in French by Soulières
éditeur in 1999, Les yeux noirs was a big hit with kids and their parents,
winning the Mr. Christie’s Book Award. Some ten years later, author Gilles Tibo
teams up with animator Nicola Lemay to give a new dimension to this
charming story in an animated short that opens viewers’ eyes to what it’s like
to live with a visual impairment. Private EyeS is also available in 3D.
