With the audience helping to create a complete episode of Exquisite Corpse in 6 days!
The crew from Cirkus landed in Cannes at The International Advertising Festival on Saturday this week and quickly set up their “Kamikaze” seminar where the audience visiting get to dictate the story line and other elements and liaise between Cirkus‘ New York and New Zealand studios while creating a complete episode of the on-running animated series “Exquisite Corpse.”
Named “Kamikaze” ‘cos you have to be pretty mad to try and do all of this in just six days, visitors to the Cirkus booth are taking things pretty seriously, with many checking back during each day on progress.
Cirkus‘ Ring Master – Marko Klijn quotes from the show floor:
“Cannes is buzzing, far more delegates than last year. Now the shortlists are being displayed near our stand the traffic is very constant. The attendees from the workshop have been dropping by to see the progress of the exquisite corpse so we have been showing off our 2d animatic.”
“The workshop was well attended and the delegates came up with a great story-line. Team are working hard to get everything done – we will deliver!”
“More people will be registering tomorrow so let’s hope for another influx of delegates to our stand”
“Tonite the liontamestress and hoopdiver will gatecrash the Dutch creative party”

“Ǝvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of Ǝvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscar®... Read More
