English version of Annecy Animation Festival 2016

For my first visit to Annecy Animation Festival 2016  I wanted to learn as much from my fellow Festival goers and meet as many of them as  possible as well as gathering ideas for programming animation on Carn to Cove (www.carntocove.co.uk) film of popular titles.  So randomly determined by whom I met in the queue or sat down next to at a screening.  I asked them two questions:

1) What is your favourite Animation Feature of all time?
2)  What is your favourite Animation Short of all time?

Overcoming their shock at being addressed out of the blue by a complete stranger, everyone thought hard about this topic and here are the results :

Version en francais: 

Pendant ma première visite au Festival d'animation d'Annecy 2016, j'ai voulu apprendre un maximum de mes collègues présents au Festival et en rencontrer le plus grand nombre possible ainsi que glaner des idées pour programmer les animations de Carn to Cove (www.carntocove.co.uk)  avec des films populaires. C'est-à-dire choisis de manière aléatoire par ceux qui faisaient la file avec moi  ou qui étaient assis à mes côtés devant un écran.

 Je leur ai posé deux questions:

1)    quel est votre film d’animation préferé de tous les temps?
2)    quel est votre court-metrage préféré de tous les temps?





Une fois avoir surmonté le choc du à la façon inattendue dont un parfait inconnu s’est adressé à eux, les personnes ont réfléchi longuement sur ce sujet, et voici les résultats :

2) Le chant de la mer
 Location:  PATHE JEUDI

Brodsky Quartet at opening concert of Music on the Moor 9th July 2025

  A full house at the opening concert  of a new festival on Bodmin Moor - this event hosted at Lavethan House by Blisland Village.   The programme was entitled "Inner Music" because one senses the works chosen invite consideration of biography and reflection.  The Brodsky's gave a subtle performance of Haydn's Quartet in C op 54 no 2 followed by the Bedrich Smetana "From my Life" quartet  no 1 in E minor which is full of middel-European panache, chutzpah and character and variety but also tragedy.   With Krysia Osostowicz's introduction outlining the shape of Smetana's own biography: early fame, joy in dancing and living in a hugely admiring public life and then debilitating tinnitus followed by confinement and seclusion for his mental health.  The work full of joy and fun and dance portrays a diverting character but strident tones brings all to a profound silence and abrupt cut off.   The final work was the late Beethoven quartet i...

Yulia Chaplina concert tour of Cornwall June 2025

Schubert Impromptus Yulia Chaplina’s four concert tour across Cornwall gave us some really wonderful insights into many piano masterpieces. Her approach was deeply characterful but also selfless… “an absence of ego and a phenomenal range of colour and contrast in piano sound ” as violinist Jackie Shave described it after her final concert in Penzance. Or leader of the Brodsky Quartet Krysia Osostowicz  who said after the concert in Lavethan The Russian repertoire she presented in her second halves included the light hearted Shostakovich of the film and ballet composer- an aspect of the composer not so familiar to those of us more used to his symphonies, quartets and opera. The darker side of the Soviet creative world was touched on in the music of Weinberg (a younger less celebrated colleague of Shostakovich) with music from the Children’s Notebooks - though as Yulia pointed out in her personal introductions these pieces were not really children’s music! Arrangements of Rachmaninov...
