POLAND 30 TheminSong of the Flies Director: Ana María Vallejo Animation: Alejandra Arboleda, Laura Delgado, Sandra Reyes, Catalina Giraldo Vélez, Diana Menestrey S., Bibiana Rojas Gómez, Cecilia Traslaviña, Ana Maria Vallejo Sound Design: Carolina Lucio Music: Manuela Puerto The experimental animated film, El Canto de las Moscas, translates the desolation caused by the violence of the Colombian armed conflict through the poetic voice of Maria Mercedes Carranza (1945 2003) and the audiovisual dialogue between 9 Colombian women. In 24 places that are visited during the course of a day, a map of terror is drawn where massacres took place in Colombia in the 1990s. Archival images, the artists‟ personal memories and the use of loops and analog materials bring to life the landscapes ravaged by violence and build a polyphony of memory and mourning, a universal song of pain.

How to picture our emotions- Animation Creation Maede Jenab Animation Director IRAN from 14.00 to 18.30 workshop (second floor):
What is poetry? Is it rhymes? Beautiful words? Emotional expressions? We try to define it by our own words and conceptions. What do we associate with it and what image it evokes in our mind. This workshop has two objectives. First we want to interrogate this personal understanding. We try not to be academic but personal. We try to dig into our individual experiences and crystalize an emotional meaning, an image. Second with these images as a starting point we want to make a collective video. We try to picture our emotions and make them visible for others. The result will be a short video that accompanies our new found personal definition of poetry. For this feel free to bring your preferred media or support material (laptop, tablet, camera, painting or drawing materials, etc). Maede Jenab is an Iranian visual artist born in Tehran, where she graduated in graphic design. As she was always interested in telling stories she decided to continue her education with a Master of Animation. She founded Maaed Studio in 2008 as an interdisciplinary platform to express her creative research.
