Micha\u00ebl Dudok de Wit is one of the most acclaimed animated film directors in the world. He was born in 1953 in the Dutch town of Abcoude.

In 2000, Dudok de Wit won an Oscar for the Best Animated Short Film with his \u201cFather and Daughter\u201d. This 8 minute masterpiece is a moving tale of the strenght of a true love. A father says goodbye to his young daughter and leaves. As the wide Dutch landscapes live through their seasons, so the girl lives through hers. She becomes a young woman, starts a family and, in time, gets old. Yet, despite all the changes, there is always a deep longing for her father within her. The film was awarded with BAFTA and Grand Prix at Annecy.<\/p>\n

In 2006, Dudok de Wit created \u201cThe Aroma of Tea\u201d \u2013 an experimental film painted entirely with tea. The main character is a small sphere that travels through the changing landscapes, inevitably heading towards the place of destination. Inspirations of Asian culture \u2013 Chinese and Japanese in particular \u2013 can be recognized in the artist's work. The use of touche and watercolour, and soft brush strokes are also characteristic of Dudok de Wit's technique.<\/p>\n

During 23. IFF we will also screen the Dutchman's first full-lenght animation \u2013 \u201cThe Red Turtle\u201d, co-created with the Japanese Studio Ghibli. The film premiered at this year's edition of Cannes Film Festival, where it was awarded in the Un Certain Regard section. The animation depicts the life of a castaway on a deserted tropical island. The man tries to escape the trap, but his efforts are thwarted by a mysterious turtle. The Japanese producers guaranteed the Dutch filmmaker's total artistic freedom. Before entering the studio, he had spent some time in the Seychelles to sink into the atmosphere of this archetypical tale. Once again, the longing \u2013 the key motive of his works \u2013 became the central element of the film.<\/p>\n
