Halifa-Legrand and Jacotey both attended L’école Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Décoratifs in Paris and, later, the Royal College of Art, receiving degrees in visual communication and printmaking, respectively. While the film’s producers, Pierre Baussaron and Emmanuel-Alain Rayna, have multiple producing credits, together and separately, for the directors, this was their first effort in the animation medium. With a distinctive visual style, sharp dialogue, and a soundtrack by the Parisian band Bagarre, Filles Bleues, Peur Blanche celebrates one’s ability to transcend the past in order to embrace the present. Lola Halifa-Legrand and Marie Jacotey’s hand-drawn film (written by Halifa-Legrand) explores themes of doubt, fear, and empowerment without taking itself overly seriously.

Two are in French, one in Korean regardless of their language, these five films all take audiences on an emotional journey well worth the effort. Moreover, one is more inclined to employ a labor-intensive and/or highly experimental technique if one’s goal is to produce 15 or 20 minutes – as opposed to, say, two hours – of animation.Īnd so we come to this year’s Annie Awards nominations for Best Short Subject. Faced with the constraint of saying everything one has to say in 40 minutes or less (usually considerably less), an animation director must marshal his or her forces (be they pixels or Styrofoam), focus their narrative, and jettison anything extraneous in order to produce a work for the ages. That’s because, for one thing, they’re short.
At ASIFA-Hollywood’s annual Annie Awards, as at many awards events and festivals, the most interesting work, and compelling storytelling, is often found in the shorts.
