Il regista / The Director

The Nyambé’s False Note project was carried out by the students of the master class in animation techniques at the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) – Torino and coordinated by Enarmonia, Turin, a partner company working in national and international animation film productions. Master class course participants are young artists who have graduated from the Fine Arts Academy or the IED in illustration or are experienced in design. The end-of-course project was a short animation film commissioned by the association Kinkoba and based on the musical fable taken from Francio Bebey’s La sansa africana, illustrated by Sara Ghirlanda and set to music by Taté Nsongan.

 “This was the students’ first experience with animation. Under their teachers’ guidance, the students tried their hand at directing and carrying through with the project. Each had the chance to put his/her talents to work on the film. The result of the course is this short film.
The team developed their technical and creative skills for reaching the objective. But they also learned the importance of working together as a group, an essential component in producing a piece of animation through the collaborative effort of creative minds.”
