A selection of short format pitches from around the world kicked off the last day in the first week of presentations at Annecy’s virtual animation market.
It was led by “The Wasp and the Hummingbird” (“Avispa y Colibrí”) a Peruvian tale of subtle female emancipation from French-Peruvian director Aida del Solar and Lima-based Apus Studios.
Inspired by historical facts, the project aims to celebrate the 200-year anniversary of the country’s independence from the Spanish, set to take place in July next year.
The 12-minute 2D animated short focuses on a 300-year old movement, Tapada Limeña,- the name given to women in Lima who wore head coverings that left just one sultry eye exposed.
The covering – which cuts a striking image on the project’s artwork – enabled these women to pass through society freely – their anonymity also allowing them to impart important information to key men leading the revolt against Spanish colonialists.
