Pierre Földes

Through unique elements and interests, director Pierre Földes created the animated Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman, an adaptation of six short stories by distinguished Japanese writer Haruki Murakami. that is a dazzling example synthesizing cultural ingredients. Complementing unusual exchanges, Földes’ animation originated with real-life individuals posing, progressing to 2D and 3D in what he calls “live animation,” somewhat like rotoscoping but with a unique appearance. He goes “against conventional cinema dramaturgy,” that is, he doesn’t invite tears or laughter. He wants to affect viewers “in a more interior, personal way.”
