INFORMATIVE SECTION: THE FASCINATING WORLD OF BILL PLYMPTON
For its first edition, FEELFEST is putting on a retrospective of the work by iconic filmmaker Bill Plympton (Portland, 1946), making a selection of 25 of his most important films available to FEELMAKERS users. The films by this American genius, who is considered one of the most important animation directors in the world, will be available during the entire Festival.
Bill Plympton began his studies at the School of Visual Arts in New York in 1968. The Big Apple bore witness to his early work as an illustrator and caricaturist. He designed three film magazines before such publications as The New York Times, Vogue and Rolling
Stone would include his drawings in print.
But Bill Plympton was especially drawn to animation. At age 14 he sent his work to Disney, which declined his offer because of his age. In 1983 he was asked to make a film for the first time. It was Valeria Wasilewski, from The Android Sister, who
reached out to him to work on the short film Boomtown.
In 1994 he made his first foray into live action film with J.Lyle, though he never left behind his true passion.
This American artist's talent has been recognized on many occasions: he has been nominated for an Oscar award twice for his prolific and singular work on Your Face (1998) and Guard Dog (2005), both available on FEELFEST . In 2005 he received the 'Máquina del tiempo' as a tribute to his career at the Sitges Festival. A year later, he received similar recognition at the Fantasporto
Festival, along with many others at prestigious international events for being a pioneer in the genre.
After making nearly 70 films-both short and feature-length-, Plympton is currently working on Hitler's Folly -a fake animated documentary about Adolf Hitler's love, and he is putting the final touches on his latest film, Revengance, which is slated for release in 2016.
