Each year, a recognised film-maker draws his own map of the cinematographic world.

Approached by the FIFF for the 2012 programming, Georges Schwizgebel, the doyen of Swiss animation films, will share with us his favourite films from the four corners of the world. Discovering these films from so many different origins, the spectator will no doubt be struck by the broad range of expression that animation film offers. The programming highlights the theme of a crossroads of viewpoints by also presenting western films that talk about other regions of the world. The feature film, Sita Sings the Blues by American film-maker Nina Paley, or the programme “Short films on the South and East” demonstrate how an artist can be inspired by and also aspire to another culture.
