Description
🇬🇧 The guest of this episode of HOBO is Signe Baumane, a Latvian animator, artist, illustrator and writer, currently living and working in New York City. She wrote, directed, designed and animated 16 shorts and two animated feature films. Her new work “My Love Affair With Marriage” tells the story of a spirited young woman’s quest for perfect love and lasting marriage. It premiered in June 2022 at Tribeca Festival and has screened at over 90 festivals winning twenty awards. A story about the acceptance of the inner female rebellion told in a very peculiar visual style, which is a combination of two seemingly conflicting influences: the serious, moody, artsy Eastern European and the upbeat, funny, gag-based American animation. 🇮🇹 L’ospite di questo nuovo episodio di HOBO è Signe Baumane: animatrice, artista, illustratrice e sceneggiatrice lettone, attualmente di base a New York. Ha scritto, diretto, disegnato e animato 16 cortometraggi e due lungometraggi. Il suo ultimo film d’animazione “My Love Affair With Marriage” racconta la storia di una giovane donna alla ricerca dell’amore perfetto e di un matrimonio duraturo. È stato presentato in anteprima nel giugno 2022 al Tribeca Film Festival ed è stato proiettato in oltre 90 festival, ottenendo più di venti premi. Una storia sull’accettazione di se stessi, di ribellione contro la propria biologia, raccontata con uno stile visivo assolutamente unico, che è una combinazione di due influenze apparentemente contraddittorie: l’animazione seria, surreale e intellettuale dell’Est Europa e quella americana, più allegra, divertente e principalmente basata sulle gag.
