Animated Documentaries
75 minutes
With its rich metaphorical language, animation can visualize that which is invisible to the human eye. When there’s no film footage of an actual event or in the case of internal truths like memories, turning to animation opens an alternative door to representing reality. The films in this program tell real life stories, using materials that have a direct relation to a certain historical reality, like the audio recording of an interview — traces of that very reality beyond what you see on screen. Choosing animation as a vessel for those stories, these filmmakers bring out a reality that otherwise might have remained unseen.
This program screened as part of KLIK Amsterdam Animation Festival 2016
