"Silent Panorama" in competition at the AFI FEST!
The renowned American festival AFI FEST has selected Nicolas Piret's animated short film "Silent Panorama" for its 2024 edition!
AFI FEST is a world-class event, showcasing the best films from across the globe to captivated audiences in Los Angeles. With a diverse and innovative slate of programming, the film festival presents a robust lineup of fiction and nonfiction features and shorts presented in established AFI FEST sections, along with panels and conversations featuring both master filmmakers and new cinematic voices.
For its 38th edition, AFI FEST has selected Silent Panorama by Nicolas Piret, produced by Zorobabel, in the Short Film Competition - Animation. The animated short film has already been featured in numerous international festivals, including IFFR, the Annecy Festival, and TIFF in Toronto.
In the midst of nature, at the foot of a cliff, two campers, intrigued by external noises, wander through the deserted landscapes with a flashlight in hand. Cracking, trickling, and other sounds will bring these places to life, inhabited by a silent, almost invisible, yet very present fauna. This film was drawn and animated alone on a single sheet of paper as a performance.
Let's also highlight the presence of French-speaking Belgian co-productions Vermiglio by Maura Delpero (Versus production, World Cinema) and Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat by Johan Grimonprez (Onomatopée Films, Documentary).
See you in Los Angeles from October 23 to 27, 2024!
