The 24th Bucheon International Animation Festival (BIAF2022) has debuted its official festival trailer, created by Florence Miailhe. The acclaimed French director, who won the Grand Prize, Audience Prize and Diversity Prize at BIAF2021 for her feature film The Crossing, will also serve as the Jury President at this year’s festival, which will take place in the South Korean city from October 21-25.
The white screen. A line appears — this is the horizon. The blue surface — this is the ocean. What can look as simple as the ocean? Yet, what secrets does the ocean hide in the deep. Sometimes, the conch murmurs to us what rumors shake the ocean. A woman on the beach, eyes closed. Listen, dream and visualize through the image … The film has already started.
Mialhe is an animator, director and painter who has received special mention at the Cannes Festival, César Awards and an Honorary Cristal from the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, as well as the 2022 André Martin Award for a Feature Film for The Crossing. She also created the poster art for BIAF2022 and will present a masterclass on the making of The Crossing at the event.
The trailer is hosted at biaf.or.kr and the BIAF’s official YouTube channel. Visit the festival website for more information.
