A CSC honorary diploma will be awarded to two prominent Italian innovators of film animation. Gibba, stage name of Francesco Maurizio Guido, pioneered animated film and collaborated with Fellini on the unfinished short film Hallo Jeep! and on Anton Gino Domeneghini’s La rosa di Bagdad. Since the 1960s, Michel Fuzellier, Milan-based director, illustrator, art director, and animator, is known as one of the most innovative figures in Italian film animation. Together with Babak Payami, he co-directed Iqbal – Bambini senza paura, a feature film of great civic engagement.
Two special showings are scheduled: Gibba’s short L’ultimo Sciuscià (1946), the only animated neorealist film set in post-WWII Italy, and an anthology of Fuzeillier’s films from his long career.
