The Bushwick Film Festival / BEST ANIMATION

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

We would like to thank the Bushwick Film Festival for selecting F@©K THAT as
BEST ANIMATION movie and the Interview Magazine for calling the video Gondry like approach!

“… With a Gonry-like approach, Oliver Conrad’s video for Krussia and C-Rayz Walx’s hip-hop anthem “Fuck That”
compiled thousands of still photographs to produce the effect of an “invisible force” dragging the rappers across
the floors of an apartment building.”

About: SAN FRANCISCO FROZEN FILM FESTIVA
SAN FRANCISCO, CA • www.frozenfilmfestival.com • It’s not just cool, it’s frozen. Named for Mark Twain’s famous quip that “The coldest winter I ever spent was my summer in San Francisco,” SFFFF takes place in the dead of summer, when the city “is at its most chill,” according to co-director Gabriel Bellman. The fest includes a strong musical component and screens “animation, documentaries, feature films, shorts, music-based films and skate films. We believe we uniquely capture the music-based and diverse nature of San Francisco itself.”

A couple of works about the festival by Bill Plympton.

Bill Plympton
“I love the Stuttgart Animation Festival for many reasons:
The location is great! It’s right downtown, next to a beautiful city center park, with easy access to the old city. The programming is fantastic, with great films, and filmmakers from around the world gather at the nearby festival tent to drink and talk about animation. But the best part is the audiences – they’re smart, appreciative, enthusiastic, and they pack the cinemas.”
