Animirani filmi Ladislasa Starewitcha z živo glasbeno spremljavo

Kar se je ob izumu zvočnega filma zdela preteklost, je danes postala posebna atrakcija. "Žive" glasbene spremljave k nemim filmom, filmske projekcije, na katerih filme ne le gledamo, ampak jih obenem poslušamo, so zanimiva izkušnja tudi za mlade rodove. Å e posebej če gre za nenavadne, skoraj stoletje stare filme izjemnega mojstra animacije, Ladislasa Starewitcha.

Ladislas Starewitch (1882—1965) je bil ruski animator poljskega rodu, ki je polovico svojega ustvarjalnega življenja preživel v Franciji. Velja za utemeljitelja lutkovnega filma (t. i. stop-motion tehnike), ki ga je sam, brez pomoči velikih studiev, razvil do tehnične perfekcije in nadgradil z bujno domišljijo. Kot nekakšen "moderni Ezop" je na filmsko platno prenašal basni, v katerih so nastopali žabe, podgane, ptiči, različni insekti in igrače, ki jih je animiral tako vešče, da so se gledalci po projekcijah spraševali: Le kako je mogoče npr. kobilico in kačjega pastirja (junaka iz filma Maščevanje kamermana/Miest kinomatograficheskovo operatoraI, 1911) naučiti, da pred kamero skupaj zaplešeta? Animirani filmi, ki jih je ustvarjal predvsem za otroke, so neverjetno domiselni, duhoviti, estetsko dovršeni in bogati v svoji sporočilnosti. Z ljubko bizarnostjo in nadrealistično lepoto lahko danes prevzamejo gledalce vseh starosti.

Poseben pečat projekcijam daje nova glasbena spremljava, ki jo je za filme napisal skladatelj Peter Kus in jo v živo izvaja skupina Od Vlasova prjatu. Gre za novoustanovljeno "sestrsko" skupino Pavel Vlasov seksteta, ki ga je Kus vodil konec 90-ih in z njim ustvaril glasbo za sovjetska nema filma Mati (Mat', V. Pudovkin, SZ, 1926) in Sreča (Sčast'e, A. Medvedkin, SZ, 1934). Kus je tudi soavtor glasbe za ameriški nemi dokumentarec Nanook s severa (Nanook of the North, R. Flaherty, ZDA, 1922), ki jo je izvajal s Triom Kučma.

Audio-Visual Concert

The Animated Films of Ladislas Starewitch with Live Music Accompaniment

What seemed to become a thing of the past with the invention of sound film, is now becoming a special attraction. "Live" musical accompaniment to silent films, film screenings at which the audience not only watches but listens, represent an absorbing experience also for the younger generations. Especially if these films are the extraordinary, almost a century-old films by the exceptional master of animation, Ladislas Starewitch.

Ladislas Starewitch (1882-1965) was a Russian animator of Polish descent, who spent half his creative life in France. He is regarded as the founder of puppet animation (the so called stop-motion technique), which he developed to technical perfection and enriched with vivid imagination without the assistance of large studios and. As a kind of "modern Aesop", he created cinematic fables, featuring creatures such as frogs, rats, birds, various insects and toys, which he animated with such extraordinary skill, that the viewers were always left wondering: How is it possible to teach a grasshopper and a dragonfly (the heroes of The Cameraman's Revenge/Miest kinomatograficheskovo operatoraI, 1911) to dance together in front of the camera? His animated films, created mostly for children, are incredibly inventive, witty, aesthetically perfected and rich in their expressive power. Today, their charming bizarreness and surrealist beauty captivate audiences of all ages.  

The screenings take on a new character with a fresh musical accompaniment, created for the films by composer Peter Kus and performed live by the group Od Vlasova prjatu - the newly formed "sister" band of the Pavel Vlasov sextet, which Kus conducted during the late 90' and which produced the musical score for the Soviet silent films Mother (Mat', V. Pudovkin, SZ, 1926) and Happiness (Schastye, A. Medvedkin, SZ, 1934). Peter Kus was also the co-author of the musical score for the silent documentary Nanook of the North (R. Flaherty, USA, 1922), performed with Trio Kučma in 2001.
