Deep countryside, deep feelings

Poster of the RICA of Wissembourg...
If it tickles while you are watching the film, don't worry : it is natural.

From 15 to 23 November will be the international meeting of animation movies in Wissembourg. Short films and feature films will compete.

It is also the opportunity to learn about the wonderful world of animation movies : retrospective of the animation world, perspectives of the artistic production of a country, animation films schools ... Directors will come to meet everyone.

An event definitely not to miss ! And for the occasion, I will open a part of my library of comics (a few hundreds of books) for guests of our charming bed & breakfast.

I think we all have a deep affection for animation. The "cartoons" have enchanted our childhood. They are deeply engraved in our memory. They still travel through our dreams. Their drawings, dream characters and fictional, funny creatures, perfect princesses, nice heroes, clumsy dragons, avatars and Pigwidgeon, depict on giant screens and graceful movements that is both present and invisible in our mundane little day to day lives.

The cartoon is as familiar to me as my childhood home, the street in front of the house, the school downtown Strasbourg, the wheezy old No. 9 bus with his grumpy driver, the smell of the paper of my books, the old traditional houses in the village of my great aunt, the forest in Soultzeren with its wooden house with red shutters...

All that to say that Wissembourg, peaceful little town in the North of Alsace, where the shadows are never disturbed by the agitation of the makers of fashion, there will soon be the festival of the makers of fascination.
