The Armenia delegation has already returned from the International
Animation Festival held in the French city of Annecy on June 10-15.
The President of the animation studio of Robert Sahakyants Production
David Sahakyants reported to the Armenpress correspondent that like
in the previous year, in 2013 as well Armenia had its own pavilion
at the Festival along with the ReAnimania Animation Film Festival
and has acquired a number of long-term agreements.
"Hayk Sahakyants' "Quantum jump" short film, as well as the preliminary
version of the animated feature film "Anahit" interested the audience
much. The Chinese side made a suggestion to translate the film into
Chinese right upon its completion", - said David Sahakyants.
At the Annecy International Animation Festival the Armenian delegation
has acquired agreements to present a panorama of the Armenian cartoons
and the retrospective screening of the works of the animator Robert
Sahakyants in Argentina.
As stated by Sahakyants, the participation in the Annecy International
Animation Festival provided the visitors with the opportunity to get
aware about the Armenian animation and this participation in such an
authoritative event was quite an important achievement.
"By the end of 2013 or the beginning of 2014 we will be in the
negotiations process with the sides", - informed the President of
the animation studio of Robert Sahakyants Production David Sahakyants.
The film "Quantum jump" has already participated in the Edinburgh Film
Festival. In April it was screened at the Multimatograph Festival
in Vologda. In the nearest future it will participate as well in
the International Animation Film Festival Golden Kuker to be held in
Sofia. All the potentials of 3D techniques were used in the 7-minute
cartoon for the first time.
The animator Hayk Sahakyants stated earlier that "Quantum jump" does
not have any age limits and might be attractive for everyone. The
author of the cartoon's scenario is Vardan Zadoyan and the artist
is Ernest Muradyan. The film was developed during the entire 2012
and was completed in the beginning of 2013. Four specialists worked
on the film. The budget made about 8 million AMD. "Quantum jump" was
made with the assistance of the National Cinema Center of the Republic
of Armenia. The music and audio effects were made by Tumbox Company.
