Black and white are the new colors in the sky, and animation always works â when UFO arrives we will FLY! This monthâs magazine we produced for ARTE KURZSCHLUSS âPoesie aus dem Alltag / Esquisses du Quotidienâ will be broadcasted tonight, 08.11. on
@arte.tv at 00:30 a.m. and can already be found in the arte media library NOW!
It features an interview with dutch animation artist Naomi Noir and dares to hand a carte blanche to artist-duo Sophie Biesenbach-Jansen and David Jansen.
Naomi Noir: âI want to channel an emotional level: How does it feel, what am I experiencing at the moment?â By talking to dutch screenwriter, director an animator Naomi Noir, whoâs short âMotherâs Childâ was nominated at Berlinale 2025 for the Golden Bear for Best Short Film. We discover her personal access to new worlds, her desire to animate the inner worlds of her unique characters, and what she perceives is the future of animation.
The artist duo Biesenbach-Jansen, who have collaborated on various projects since 1999, invites us on a journey through time and almost into space. How do they know each other, what role do scissors play in their lives, how does Sophie feel about the Lord's Prayer?
