All are welcome!
As a fitting curtain-raiser to the 5th Indo-German Film Festival Bangalore 2011, at which the focus will be on animation films, with a workshop conducted by experts from Germany, we present Forms in Motion - a weekend of animation films from across the world, presented by Balachander M. Gandhekar, Producer, Director, Script Writer, Editor, Cameraman, Photographer, Author & Publisher - and Managing Director, Foresee Multimedia Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore. The series has been curated from a package developed by the Goethe-Institut in collaboration with DOK Leipzig and the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad.
The sequences of movements of animation films are not filmed in real-time. In contrast to feature film figures, objects and effects have to be artificially created. Moving pictures shown one after another create an animation film that leads viewers to believe in real motion with astonishing effects. For instance one 90-minute film can consist of around 1,29,600 single pictures.

Watch a little boy whizz through space and time, a cow that decides to take fate into her own hands and a dog that is annoyed by a women’s magazine. In films are produced in Germany, France, Norway, Italy ... And at the same time garner insights into the history of animation films and the different genres, watch animation come alive before your eyes and take the opportunity to voice your ideas and express your opinions!
