HAFF 2010 launches poster and leader!

Poster Holland Animation Film Festival 2010 by Chinese 'artist in residence' artist Sun Xun, colouring Joost Swarte Animation filmmaker Phil Mulloy makes HAFF theme song, 4 of them! HAFF 2010 poster created by artist Sun Xun The HAFF has built a fine tradition with the design of the festival poster; for every edition, an internationally renowned illustrator is commissioned. The poster for the upcoming festival was created by the active and driven artist Sun Xun (China, 1980). The colouring was handled by Joost Swarte, designer of the festival logo. Sun Xun attended art school in Hangzhou and established his own animation studio, Pi, in the city in 2006. He recently moved his animation studio to Beijing, where he now also lives. He paints and creates animated films and installations. His latest film, 21G, recently had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. For the HAFF, the film has been selected for the shorts competition. Sun Xun is in Utrecht as an artist-in-residence at the invitation of the HAFF. He is working on a large-scale multidisciplinary artwork at the Centre for Visual Arts Utrecht and the Centraal Museum. The residency is open to the public. Do not hesitate to drop in and see him at work! Animation filmmaker Phil Mulloy makes HAFF theme The opening credits for HAFF 2010 were created by Phil Mulloy. His inimitable character Mister Christie, about whom a feature film in twelve episodes was released in 2006, served as a source of inspiration and yielded no fewer than four variations of the opening theme. Phil Mulloy: Mister Christie is the ill-mannered, loud terror of the neighborhood with a high opinion of himself. I just hope his pronouncements don't irritate anyone. Phil Mulloy (UK, 1948) studied at Ravensbourne College of Art (painting) and the Royal College of Art (film). As a writer and director, he produced live-action films for several years, and in 1989 he began working with animation. His thick black lines, pitch-black humor, and intentionally primitive animation have become Mulloy's trademark. The Kijkwijzer rating system would undoubtedly classify the films as 18+. Phil Mulloy is a guest at the festival. His latest film, Goodbye Mister Christie (2010), has been selected by the HAFF for the feature film competition. www.haff.nl Contact: Rozemarijn Gerritsen (publicity), [email protected]
