Abstract

Active for more than seventy years, the National Film Board of Canada has allowed the creation of countless experimental animated films. Many works explore delicate and complex themes, such as generational passages and the structure of identity; the paper will take into account how works by artists like Landreth, Forbis, Tilby and Janke developed the theme of memory in cultural, social and psychological contexts.

Riti di passaggio: cicli generazionali nel cinema d’animazione canadese
Nel corso di più di settant’anni di attività, il National Film Board of Canada ha permesso la realizzazione di innumerevoli film d’animazione sperimentale. Molte di tali opere esplorano argomenti complessi e delicati, come il passaggio generazionale e la struttura dell’identità; nel corso dell’intervento si analizzerà il modo in cui opere di autori come Landreth, Forbis, Tilby e Janke hanno declinato il tema della memoria in ambito culturale, sociale e psicologico.
