ReA Fest перешагнет порог совершеннолетия

АрмИнфо. Международный фестиваль анимационных фильмов и искусства комиксов ReA Fest в этом году отмечает 18-летие, символически перешагивая порог своего совершеннолетия. Стоит отметить, что к этому возрасту Rea Fest подошел уже с устоявшимися традициями и международным признанием.

Как сказал в ходе пресс-конференции замминистра образования, науки, культуры и спорта Армении Тигран Вирабян фестивалем заинтересованы порядка 500 кинодеятелей из 70 стран мира, что о многом говорит. Он также обратил внимание на то, что в наши дни, когда сфера анимационного кино развивается ежечасно и ежеминутно, фестиваль Rea Fest сумел выработать свой неповторимый стиль, став узнаваемым не только в Армении, но и за ее пределами. <Благодаря фестивалю в этом году армянские любители кино смогут познакомиться примерно со 100 фильмами. Это также прекрасная возможность продемонстрировать творческий потенциал Армении в области анимационного кино. Благодаря своей многогранности и многофункциональности фестиваль становится одной из лучших площадок для объединения представителей киноиндустрии. Уверен, что в следующем году мы сможем еще больше расширить географию фестиваля, сделать нашу страну еще более интересной и реализовать еще более масштабные проекты>, - отметил Вирабян.

Директор Фонда кино Давид Банучян, высказав благодарность основателю фестиваля Врежу Касуни и его команде за колоссальную работу, проведенную в течении 18 лет, заметил, что Rea Fest помогает армянским кинодеятелям и за рубежом в налаживании контактов и сотрудничества.

Фонд кино, участвуя в кинорынках международных авторитетных кинофестивалей - Берлина, Канн и др., во время встреч с деятелями анимационного кино всегда упоминается Rea Fest. <Вы не представляете настолько легче работать за рубежом, когда твою страну узнают по фестивалям>, - подчеркнул Банучян.

Он также анонсировал две программы Фонда кино, которые будут реализованы в рамках фестиваля - ретроспектива анимационных армянских фильмов 70-80гг., в том числе <Мышиный совет>, <Эхо>, <Топор>, <Коридор>, <Счастливый конец> и др., а также программа, посвященная 70- летию французского актёра, режиссёра и сценариста армянского происхождения Сержа Аведикяна. По словам главы Фонда кино, Аведикян более известен широкой общественности как актер, однако он имеет 3 анимационных фильма, один из коих Chienne d'histoire (<Собачья жизнь>, также известный как Barking Island, 2010) был удостоен <Золотой пальмовой ветви> Каннского кинофестиваля как лучший короткометражный фильм.  Торжественное открытие программы состоится 9 ноября в 17:00 в кинотеатре <Наири>. На церемонии лично будет присутствовать Серж Аведикян.

Как отметил в ходе пресс-конференции Вреж Касуни откроется кинофестиваль 7 ноября в Доме кино показом фильма французского режиссера Себастьяна Лоденбаха Viva Carmen, в котором главную героиню озвучила известная французская певица и актриса алжирского происхождения Камелия Жордана. Он с сожалением отметил, что актриса не успеет к открытию фестиваля, однако на следующий день Жордана уже будет находиться в Армении и выступит перед ереванской публикой.

Автором официального постера фестиваля в этом году стал известный французский режиссер-аниматор и иллюстратор ливанского происхождения Завен Наджар. Центральной фигурой постера стал один из самых волшебных персонажей армянской мифологии, крылатый пес Аралез.

С программой фестиваля можно познакомиться по ссылке: https://www.reanimania.com/festival-2026 Отметим также, что с первого дня фестиваля в выставочном зале Союза кинематографистов Армении откроется экспозиция комиксов ReAComics, где будут представлены работы как опытных, так и начинающих авторов - участников четвертого национального конкурса комиксов ReA. В рамках этой программы также состоятся презентация книги прошлогодней победительницы национального конкурса Софии Мирзоян <Жасмин и Бимбим>, выставка постеров комикса Джордана Мехнера <Выживание> с участием самого автора, презентация книги Пако Роки <Морщины>, выставка постеров комикса Арта Шпигельмана <Маус>, а также экспозиция выпускных работ студентов Академии художеств, обучавшихся на курсе комикса.

Важной составляющей фестиваля станет форум MarAni (Market of Animation), предназначенный для представителей отрасли. Это крупнейшая в регионе профессиональная площадка и рынок в сфере анимационного кино, комиксов, игр и визуального искусства. Форум пройдет с 9 по 11 ноября в здании Всеармянского благотворительного союза (AGBU).

В рамках платформы CoReAct в этом году представлены 12 проектов армянских аниматоров, которые представят свои работы международному жюри и примут участие в профессиональных и концептуальных обсуждениях.  Впервые в этом году фестиваль ReA при поддержке Семейного фонда

Овнанян организует ReA Academy Lab для продюсеров, сценаристов и художников-визуалистов. Цель лаборатории - углубление профессиональных компетенций, знакомство с международными практиками производства и копродукции, а также налаживание связей между профессиональным сообществом Армении и международной анимационной индустрией.

С 8 по 28 ноября фестиваль ReA совместно с Rambalkoshe впервые представит в Армении выставку ARCANE - League of Legends.

14 ноября в Доме кино состоится концерт <Джаз для детей> (JAZZ for KIDS).  Проект реализован фестивалем ReA и ReAct Production при спонсорской поддержке мэрии Еревана и содействии Министерства образования, науки, культуры и спорта Армении. Во время живого музыкального выступления на большом экране будут демонстрироваться мультфильмы. Автором проекта является джазовый музыкант Карен Григорян.
