Mary Anning has been part of paleontology’s history since its very beginning. Yet this inspiring character’s childhood remains largely unfamiliar to the public. A self-taught English fossil collector, Anning began her journey in the county of Dorset, England, in the small village of Lyme Regis, where she and her family discovered Jurassic marine fossil beds, one of the first major paleontological discoveries of the 19th century.
Her story as a young, dedicated fossil collector inspired Swiss director Marcel Barelli, whose own passion for paleontology followed him into adulthood. Backed by his long-time collaborator and producer Nicolas Burlet (Nadasdy Films), Barelli felt it was the right time to embark on the journey of making a Swiss animated feature.
As “Mary Anning” makes its world premiere this Monday at the Annecy Animation Festival, Variety spoke with Barelli about his debut feature, his eagerness to share powerful child-driven stories and the state of Swiss animation,...

France’s Annecy Intl. Animation Film Festival is celebrating Swiss animation – which marked its 100th anniversary back in 2021 – with a slew of retrospectives, screenings and special events.
In its Official Selection, Switzerland is represented through 13 films spread across different sections. The fest has collaborated with various institutions on the tribute, including the Gsfa, the association of Swiss animation filmmakers, the Swiss Films Archive or the Animatou and Fantoche festivals.
All the while, notes artistic director Marcel Jean, the Focus tries to express the films’ variety and range.
“There isn’t one technique that’s associated with that country, there isn’t one style. I would say that the main characteristic is the fact that there are not that many feature films,” he says.
Still, Sam and Fred Guillaume’s “Max & Co,” Zoltán Horváth and Juan José Lozano’s “Red Jungle” will also be shown, as well as the Oscar-nominated “My...

Experience this epic battle like never before! Swiss animation filmmaker Georges Schwizgebel originally premiered this animation project back in 2017, but it's finally online to watch thanks to Vimeo. The Battle of San Romano is a short film taking a classic painting, the famous 15th century triptych "The Battle of San Romano" by Italian Renaissance painter Paolo Uccello, and animating it using a unique paint-on-glass technique. It's all done by hand. "The movement begins at the top left-hand corner of the painting and ends in the same piece, which allows me to restart the spiral. At the beginning, I'm looking for how square 1 will turn into square 2, into a total of 36 different segments." Schwizgebel has made 20 other films before this with the same technique, and has picked up many awards over the years. It reminds me of these stunning hand-painted films Loving Vincent & The Peasants. It also gives this painting a whole new life.

Having won the Swiss Film Award for best animation film, Georges Schwizgebel (“The Ride to the Abyss”) returns to Annecy with his new short film “Darwin’s Notebook” a nine-minute narration of the experience suffered by three natives of Tierra de Fuego as they are kidnapped and later returned to their homeland by the British in 1833. A penetrating look into the devastating results of the era’s colonization and clash of cultures the film showcases Schwizgebel’s unique style of storytelling and animating.
Produced by Schwizgebel himself, in collaboration with Studio Gds and Swiss public broadcaster Radio Télévision Suisse (Rts), the short film tells its story through a variety of painting techniques, the frames always filled with kinetic vibrance as the brush strokes move.
Expressive both in his use of color as in its absence, Schwizgebel’s hand made animation is in constant motion, finding otherwise physically impossible camera movements...

UK-based animator and installation artist Max Hattler, along with other jury members including Slovakian producer Peter Badac and Swiss animator Michael Frei, handed out the award saying, “This made us want to die in the best possible way.”
Holly, pleased by the award along with the event’s festive offerings, added, “Sorry I slept in and missed my own screening. This festival has been tons of fun.”

“As you look at the screen, it is possible to believe you are gazing into eternity. You see the things that were inside you. This is the womb, the original site of the imagination. You do not move your eyes from the screen. You have become invisible. The images captivate you, but still you drift off. You can still see every detail clearly, but can’t grasp the meaning. Whatever shift in your spiritual life occurs, fragments such as these surface…”
The text above is my (incomplete) transcription of the narrative found in the John Rafman-directed video for “Still Life (Betamale)”, the penultimate track on R Plus Seven. Obviously these words tie-in nicely with the video’s context, but they could serve as a brief description of the Georges Schwizgebel-sourced cover art: the prism gazes into the outside world, unmoved, captivated by the endless blue.

Last year I previewed all 33 of the Oscar qualifying animated shorts that were up for consideration for the Academy Awards and this year I have 12 additional shorts to consider and I have found either the full short, a clip, a trailer or an image from all but two of the contending shorts and put them together in this one article. These shorts have all been screened for members of the Short Films and Feature Animation Branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences who will soon vote on the ultimate short list that will be in contention for an Oscar nomination. Last year ten films made the list. Take a look over the next eight pages and see which ones stand out to you. There are a few instances where you may have to click a link to watch a clip and, in one instance, to watch the entire film.

Rome -- Julian Jarrold's "Brideshead Revisited" will open the 61st Locarno Film Festival, highlighting a lineup that will see nearly two dozen world premieres screen in the festival's historic Piazza Grande or in the main competition.
"Brideshead" -- a European premiere -- is a World War II drama based on the Evelyn Waugh novel and starring Matthew Goode as Capt. Charles Ryder. It screens Aug. 6.
The world premiere of Solveig Anspach's Franco-Icelandic comedy "Back Soon" will close the lakeside festival Aug. 16.
In between, the Piazza Grande lineup will unspool Marco Siega's comedic drama "Chaos Theory," Clark Gregg's comedy "Choke," Denis Rabaglia's romantic drama "Marcello, Marcello" and Garth Jennings' "Son of Rambow," which was scheduled to screen in Locarno in 2007 but pulled because of a legal dispute.
The Piazza Grande selection continues the trend of accessible fare screening in Europe's largest outdoor cinema venue under third-year artistic director Frederic Maire, as opposed to the more weighty and cerebral productions that screened there in the past.
The 17-film international competition lineup, meanwhile, is made up entirely of world and international premieres.
The complete competition lineup follows:
