Theater Optique jury will host Dutch animator Rosto
The jury of Theatre Optique Competition focused on animation and new media will host Rosto, a well-respected Dutch artist living in Amsterdam. As an artist he gets national and, increasingly, international recognition for his free work as well as his commissioned graphic design, leaders and TV-animation and award-winning music-video’s. His independent work spreads out over media like film, the web, print and sound.
For the first time he captured the attention of his viewers with his trilogy of short animated films “Beheaded” (1999), “(the rise and fall of the legendary) Anglobilla Feverson” (2002) and “Jona/Tomberry” (2005), for which he won several international awards. His on-line graphic novella “Mind My Gap”, in which individual stories in different perspective play with space and time was published in the Dutch magazine “Reload and Freeload”. At this year’s Fresh Film Fest Rosto will introduce his 60 minute long program called „So Far So Evil“. The above mentioned trilogy will be a part of this project. Meanwhile, a book, a music-project (Thee Wreckers) and a medium length film (“The Monster of Nix”) are also in the works.
