Paul Bush: screenings and open lectures
Animation
The experimental stop frame animation filmmaker Paul Bush will give three open lectures and will show his works next week from Wednesday to Friday in EKA.
Falling in Love with the Frame
On Wednesday, January 15th at 19:00-21:00 in EKA auditorium A101
“This talk will look at my passage from artist to experimental filmmaker and finally to animation director, and the pains and special pleasures of working frame by frame.”
The Art of Stupidity
On Thursday, January 16th at 17:30-18:30 in EKA room A302
“Pushkin wrote that poetry has to be a little bit stupid. On the eve of the UK leaving Europe this is the perfect moment to examine the British nation’s love of stupidity – for good or ill.”
In the Hinterland of Narrative
On Friday, January 17th at at 17:30-18:30 in EKA room A302
“An attempt to undermine all the rules for storytelling you may ever have heard and an exhortation to move into the unexplored territory of narrative.”
Paul Bush
Paul Bush is a filmmaker most well-known for experimental stop frame animation. He has made numerous short and medium length films including The Cows Drama (1984), His Comedy (1994), Rumour of True Things (1996), Furniture Poetry (1999), Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (2001) and While Darwin Sleeps (2004). He has won many awards and his films have been shown in festivals, cinemas, galleries and on television all round the world. Last year he had retrospective programmes in Taiwan, Brussels, Madrid, Bucharest and Lisbon. He has directed commercials and his clients include Philips and National Panasonic. He has written four feature length screenplays one of which he directed and was released in UK cinemas to critical acclaim in 2013.
He began teaching film in 1981 and established a film workshop in South London. He taught on the visual arts course at Goldsmiths between 1995 and 2001 and at the National Film and Television School since 2003. Bush has lectured, run workshops and tutored at numerous art and film courses around the world including Harvard, Luzern University, Centro Sperimentali di Cinematografia in Italy and The Animation Workshop in Denmark.
“Bush is part scavenger, part inventor. Nothing is out of bounds and everything is worth trying. This is what makes Bush’s work so welcoming; you never know what you’re in for but you know it will be smart, funny, provocative and unique.” (Chris Robinson – Director, Ottawa International Animation Festival)
The lectures will be in English.

Animations by directors who took part in the project Vivaldi Four Seasons – Anna Budanova, Olga&Priit Pärn, Atsushi Wada and Theodor Ushev
Animation
The delegation from Geidai Art University (Japan) will visit Estonian Academy of Arts at the beginning of Octobre. There are altogether 9 people: teachers and students from two departments of Geidai. The Department of New Media will be presented by professor Takashi Kiriyama and four former students. The Department of Animation will be presented by professor Koji Yamamura, dean and professor Mitsuko Okamoto, assistant professor Ilan Nguyen and a former student Atsushi Wada, who is also an animation teacher at Kobe Design University.
The main reason for the visit of Geidai Art University delegation is the project Vivaldi Four Seasons. The idea and realization of this rare multimedia project belong to Geidai Art University. It is a concert with chamber orchestra, wherein live synchronization with music will be screened four animations by Anna Budanova (RU) for ”Spring”, Olga&Priit Pärn (EE) for ”Summer”, Atsushi Wada (JP) for ”Autumn” and Theodor Ushev (CA) for ”Winter”. The Four Seasons refers to the four concerts composed by Antonio Vivaldi and performed in 1725 as part of “The Contest Between Harmony and Invention.” Bearing the names “Spring”, “Summer,” “Autumn,” and “Winter,” the works call forth rich imagery in the mind of the listener. In this project, five leading animation directors give visual form to Vivaldi’s musical world. It is very enjoyable and ideal combination of animation and music! The dream of genius composer Antonio Vivaldi finally come alive in animation three centuries later after the very first interpretation of Four Seasons.
The Tallinn concert will be performed by legendary Covent Garden Soloists orchestra from London in Vene Teater 8th of October. Soloists are Sergey Levitin and Vladimir Pogoretsky.
Manipulation with the live stream during the performance will be done by Takashi Kiriyama and his 4 talented students: Noriko Koshida (Autumn), Ryoya Usuha (Spring), Teru Uehira (Summer), Kuwabara Toshiyuki(Winter). The artistic director of the project is Koji Yamamura. The exclusive producer is Mitsuko Okamoto. The idea of this live performance belongs to the President of Geidai Art University, Mr. Kazuki Sawa. Tallinn event is organized by Tallinn Portrait Gallery.
After the performance, there will be the opening of Priit Pärn’s exhibition Vivaldi’s Summer in Tallinn Portrait Gallery.
