China Onscreen Biennial - Ripples Of Time And Modernity October 22, 2012

"Animated, Golden and Restored" offers a rare glimpse at the luminous output of the "twin Golden Ages of Shanghai animation" (1950s-60s and late 1970s- early 80s). Digitally restored by the China Film Archive, the shorts include Pigsy Eats Watermelon (1958), a vibrant paper-cut animation by the pioneering Wan brothers; Little Tadpoles Look for Their Mother (1960), the first of the ink-wash masterpieces by ASIFA lifetime achievement honoree Te Wei; and, as a bonus, China's earliest extant animation, The Mouse and the Frog (1934), showing Disney and Fleischer influences.
