Auteur animation: experiments on film

V–A–C Sreda online magazine brings a new episode in the series of podcasts dedicated to games, produced in collaboration with the Tolk audio platform.

In the final episode, we’re going to talk about Auteur animation. What is the key feature of experimental animation? How does modern Russian animation inherit the traditions of the Soviet era masters? What complexities do filmmakers confront creating a film?

These and other questions are discussed by V–A–C Sreda editor Maxim Shibaev, historian and film critic Pavel Shvedov and the Ekaterinburg film director Maxim Kulikov, whose short film “Dear Passengers” won first place at the Open Animation Film Festival in March 2023.

The project “Cartoons for Mom” mentioned in the podcast is broadcast on the TV channel “Multilandia” but not on the TV channel “Karusel”.
