Georges Schwizgebel: The Most Celebrated Independent Animator of All Time

SUBSCRIBE:    / @sparkcg  

Georges Schwizgebel is a classic animator, not in the sense of a classic animator such as Disney’s Nine Old Men who focuses on squash and stretch.

NO. Instead, Schwizgebel is an animator who animates in the classic concerns of animation: using space, time, dimensionality, and colour. His work is made in traditional methods: with paint and pigment on cels, but his library of short films presents a much different world than that of the more traditional storytelling narrative path.

Georges' films have been shown at numerous festivals and won many major awards. It’s a daunting task to consider such a large, impressive body of work, but we’re going to sit down today with Georges and reflect on and acknowledge the auteur style that Georges Schwizgebel has developed and perfected over those 50 years.
