Mamoru Hosoda discusses Belle, a Spotlight selection at NYFF59, with NYFF Programmer Rachel Rosen.
In his densely beautiful, eye-popping animated spectacle, Academy Award–nominated director Mamoru Hosoda (Mirai) tells the exhilarating story of a shy teenager who becomes an online sensation as a princess of pop. Still grieving over a childhood tragedy, Suzu has a difficult time singing in public or talking to her crush at school, yet when she takes on the persona of her glittering, pink-haired avatar, Belle, in the parallel virtual universe known as the “U,” her insecurities magically disappear. As her star begins to rise, Belle/Suzu finds herself drawn to another “U” fan favorite—a scary but soulful monster whose “real” identity, like Belle’s, becomes a source of fascination for legions. Both a knowing riff on the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale and a moving commentary on the duality of contemporary living, Belle is a thrilling journey into the matrix and a deeply human coming-of-age story, packed with unforgettable images and dazzlingly styled characters.

Beim Wirten in Siegheilkirchen sitzt ein Rotzbub und zeichnet die nackerte Fleisch-hauerin. Die Bilder erregen den ganzen Ort, der Rotzbub heißt Manfred Deix und hat Talent. Doch Maler braucht so eine Kleinstadt im Österreich der 1960er vor allem zum Überpinseln ihrer braunen Flecken. Zum Glück gibt es das Espresso Jessy, das Bier und den Rock`n ́Roll.
Eines schönen Tages kommen die Roma in den Ort und mit ihnen die furchtlose Mariolina. Endlich gibt es in Siegheilkirchen wirklich etwas zu zeichnen. Aber den Ewiggestrigen im Dorf ist das Fremde natürlich ein Dorn im Auge und sie basteln schon an einer Bombe.
Ein saftiger Animationsfilm inspiriert von Manfred Deix, über die Pubertät der Republik, mit hochkarätigen Stimmen und abgefeimt treffsicheren Figuren.
Pressenotiz:
Marcus H. Rosenmüller ist Spezialist für Lausbubengeschichten. Die Lebensgeschichte von Manfred Deix ist also in besten Händen. Und das österreichische Kino könnte seine Animationsfilm-Tradition mit keiner idealeren Konstellation begründen. Kaum ein Künstler hat Österreichs Selbstbild nach 1945 so geprägt wie Manfred Deix. Seine unverwechselbaren Bilder lernen nun laufen und erzählen uns von den Wurzeln ihrer liebevollen Drastik. Wieso wird einer so und wieso kann dann trotzdem was aus ihm werden? Die Zärtlichkeit, mit der Marcus H. Rosenmüller der Figur des ROTZBUB weit über das Derbe hinaus lebendige Facetten abgewinnt, zeugt von hoher Kompetenz für die Vielschichtigkeit der Provinz. Dieser Film ist ein Denkmal für Nachkriegs-Österreich, und es sind die Randexistenzen, die dabei gut aussteigen.
Markus Freistätter macht den lustvollen Leidensweg seiner Titelrolle spürbar. Und der Cast staubt nur so vor Publikumslieblingen. Bevor wir in die überwältigende Liste einsteigen, seien zwei Cameos besonders hervorgehoben: Armin Assinger als Gendarm ist wohl der Glücksgriff des Jahrtausends und Bilderbuch-Frontman Maurice Ernst als Einfaltspinsel die Entdeckung des Jahrzehnts.

In this episode of The Pulse, join our host Dan Sarto of Animation World Network as he talks about real-time animation with industry experts David Prescott, SVP of DNEG Animation; Jason Chen, EVP of BRON Digital; Kevin Dart, Founder and Creative Director of Chromosphere; and Karen Dufilho of Epic Games.
The members of the panel will discuss how real-time animation pipelines have unlocked the route to better storytelling in their own projects. By moving from linear, siloed roles to non-linear collaboration and iteration, artists can instantly see results, give feedback, and try different scenarios long before final cut. Due to the workflow’s agile nature, styles and stories that were previously impossible are now within reach. And as a bonus, a real-time workflow naturally leads to transmedia assets for multiple platforms.
Join us as we explore how real-time rendering has changed the traditional animation pipeline, and what we can expect to see in the future. Be sure to stay for the live Q&A at the end.

VANCOUVER, BC – On September 24, animation workers at Titmouse Vancouver made history by voting to ratify the IATSE’s first animation agreement in Canada. Ballots revealed a resounding 96.9% in support of the new agreement. The agreement will cover approximately 200 workers and also marks the first-ever contract for the recently chartered Animation Guild, IATSE Local 938. Workers at Titmouse voted to join the IATSE last October when over 98% voted in favour of joining the union.
In preparation for these negotiations, a survey was sent to all employees to determine their priorities and make these a focus of bargaining. Standing together resulted in success at the bargaining table. Highlights of the 4-year agreement include defined overtime procedures, increased wage minimums, improved annual wage increases, a 15% premium for employees taking on supervisory duties, increased sick/personal days (and the ability to take half-days), and enhanced RRSPs with a lower fee structure.
“There are real gains for everyone in this agreement,” remarked Emily Gossmann, IATSE Local 938 Senior Steward and member of the bargaining committee, “and these gains will be backed by the strong representation that the IATSE provides.”
“The IATSE is proud to have these talented workers within our ranks,” said IATSE International President Matthew D. Loeb, “and thrilled that they can now begin to experience similar benefits and protections to those long enjoyed by the IATSE-represented animation workers in Los Angeles.”
IATSE International Representative Jeremy Salter was instrumental in organizing the workers and in ensuring they secured a strong agreement. “Animation workers across Canada need better working conditions,” he said. “Workers are tired, underpaid and need overtime protections. Forming a union is the strongest way to address these issues.”
With the ratification behind them, Titmouse animators are looking forward to getting back to doing the work they love, now under the protection of a union agreement.
Animation workers across Canada are encouraged to contact Jeremy Salter at jsalter@iatse.net if they would like to begin discussions about forming a union at their animation studio.
