Perfect Perversion – Animated Ads on 35mm Film
100 minutes
How perfect can the most perverse of films be? A wild programme of the films you love to hate: commercials!
You all know them all too well and you all have a love-hate relationship with them: commercials. Perfection seems to be the standard in these types of films. With 50 prime examples from all over the world, our own film collector Roloff de Jeu will showcase just how perfect the most perverse of films can be. All animated of course, using a wide variety of techniques.
Through various themes covering topics like food and videogames, the programme explores how companies have used (and abused) animation to sell their goods for decades. But it also proves that animation studios and makers had a lot of fun telling these weird stories and playing with loveable characters and designs.
To make it even more perfect: alle these theatrical and TV ads will be shown on original 35mm film!
This program screened as part of Kaboom Animation Festival 2023
