Committed Films
75 minutes
Present-day fine art sees a revival of social commitment. The HAFF wants to initiate a discussion on this subject with a theme programme of committed animation films on various subjects via different media. The programme was set up with Gerrit van Dijk, who stood at the cradle of the HAFF and passed away in December 2012.
Committed films are of all time and display a broad thematic palette, but also pre-eminently demonstrate the spirit of the times. For example, animation film traditionally has strong ties with politics. Animation was frequently deployed to engage in politics, as a means of propaganda and also to express criticism. Animation provides an effective packaging. It can be concealing not to pose an immediate threat and entertaining to convey messages more easily. But also distinctly radical. In animation, filmmakers have everything in their own hands and with the Internet they have a hungry and potentially gigantic public within reach.
On Sunday morning in Daily Master at 11:00 filmmaker Wendy Morris will talk about committed films.
This program screened as part of HAFF 2014
