The 2010 Seoul International Cartoon & Animation Festival
The Seoul Int'l Cartoon & Animation Fest (2010) wraps this weekend, profiling inspirational and eclectic animation from the global cartoon community. The event has expanded but remains true to its mission. Screening indie and pro titles such as 'The Little Sun' (Taiwan; 2009), to short films 'Spring Comes" (Korea; 2009) and "En Agosto" (Colombia; 2008), to student films, such as "Lightmare" (France; 2009). Notably, the China feature project 'Da.Hai' (2012) looks to rival the best Asian animation has to offer (video available).
In Da.Hai, viewers are acquainted with characters and deities who are charismatic, flippant, heartbroken, stoic, and all other manners appropriate for an epic fantasy about the emotional inclinations of gods and men. Eighty percent of the physical, animation production for Da.Hai is to be completed in-house by B&T Studio, whose staff would blossom roughly threefold to 60 or 80 artists at full production. Planet Nemo Animation (Paris, France) is contributing as well, helping raise financial support outside of China.
