Je m'appelle Nathan

<p>  </p> <p> <strong>PITCH :</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>"A little boy is troubled by a paper bird locked in his own head"</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>INFO :</strong></p> <p> This 2 minutes "very short film" is my first animation movie directed in my studies at Supinfocom, 3D animation french school.</p> <p> Ce très court métrage de 2 minutes est mon premier film d'animation réalisé dans le cadre de mes études à Supinfocom, école d'animation 3D. The specifications of this exercise limited to the film about 1 minute (excluding generic), one real character, and should be guided by the words of a French song.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>THE SONG :<em> </em></strong></p> <p> <em>"I am alone in my gondola, I am trapped in the sky, My name's Nathan, I don't like the real"</em>  translated lyrics of the song "<em>Nathan"</em> about autism, sung by Calogero.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>THE MAKING-OF :</strong></p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/45733112" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>AUTISM :</strong></p> <p> Beyond the technical challenge of this first film (<em>Making-Of  available </em><em>above</em>), to deal with a subject such as autism was a nice challenge, especially since 2012 (year of manufacture of the film) was designated as "Year 2012, Autism, Great national cause", causing great scientific debates and psychanalitiques on the subject.</p> <p> I do not know anyone with autism around me, I could not adopt a "personal testimony" view, much less the scientific approach. So i naturally tried to use a metaphorical and poetic direction to the mystery that is autism.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>REVIEWS :</strong></p> <p> - Film Review by Allociné : <a href="http://www.allocine.fr/film/court-metrage/news-18615616/" target="_blank">L'autisme en quelques secondes</a></p> <p> - Interview on the OnePointFour website (english) : <a href="http://www.onepointfour.co/2013/01/14/sensitive-soul/" target="_blank">Sensitive Soul</a></p> <p> - Critic on Fou d'Anim website : <a href="http://www.fousdanim.org/index.php?news=2758" target="_blank">Je m'appelle Nathan</a></p> <p> - Interview on Cheeky  blog : <a href="http://www.cheeky.fr/blog/2012/08/17/interview-benoit-berthe-siward-je-m-appelle-nathan/" target="_blank">Rencontre avec  Benoit BERTHE alias Siward</a></p> <p> - Article on NoFilmSchool website (english) : <a href="http://nofilmschool.com/2013/01/supinfocom-animation-je-mappelle-nathan-autism/" target="_blank">Supinfocom Animation 'Je m'appelle Nathan' Provides a Compelling Look into Autism</a></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>SCREENINGS, PRICE AND FESTIVALS :</strong></p> <p> - 3rd audiance price at festival <em>"Going Underground"</em> , Berlin.</p> <p> - Selected at <em>"NFFTY"</em>  Festival, Seattle (USA).</p> <p> - Selected at <em>"</em><em>Short Shorts</em><em>"</em>  Festival, Tokyo (Japan).</p> <p> - Selected at  "<em>Ciné Poème"</em> Festival 2013, Bezons (France).</p> <p> - Selected at <em>"AutisMovie"</em>  Festival, Italy.</p> <p> - Selected at <em>"Animac" </em> Festival 2013, Spain.</p> <p> - Selected at <em>"CinemAutismo"</em> , Italy.</p> <p> - Selected at "Très Courts" Festival, in 25 country and 100 towns.</p> <p> - Selected at "Entr'2 Marches" Festival, Cannes (France).</p> <p> - Selected at "<em>Faites des courts</em>" Festival, <a>Brie-Comte-Robert (France).</a></p> <p> - Selected at "<em>Festival National du court métrage Étudiant</em>", Paris (France).</p> <p> - Selected at "<em>AS</em>", Rome (Italy).</p> <p> - Selected at "<em>Coeur Métrage</em>" Festival, Marseille.</p> <p> - Selected at "<em>Festival internationnal du 1er Court Métrage</em>"  Pontault-Combault (France).</p> - Selected at "<em>Tournez Jeunesse</em>" Festival, Monistrol sur Loire (France) - Selected "<em>C'est trop court !</em>" Festival at Nice (France) <p> - Collection <em>"Vimeo Staff Pick"</em> by Vimeo Staff.</p> <p> - Broadcast at Berlin and Séoul Subway.</p> <p> - Outdoor-screening at <em>"Toujours trop Court"</em>, Niort (France).</p> <p> - Screening in introduction of the <em>"Festival Télérama"</em> at Cinéma Le Brady (France).</p> <p> - Screening at <em>"Être parent Aujourd'hui" </em>seminar in the cinéma Art &amp; essai at Noisy-le-Grand.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="04-nathan_still_03" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/7669/04-Nathan_still_03.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><u>Who am I ?</u></strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Name :</strong> Benoît Berthe</p> <p> <strong>Age :</strong> 23 ans (born in 1989)</p> <p> <strong>WebSite : </strong><a href="http://www.siward.free.fr" target="_blank">www.siward.free.fr</a></p> <p> <strong>Email : </strong>siward@hotmail.fr</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Biography :</strong></p> <p> <em>Currently in last year at Supinfocom Valenciennes school 3D animation in preparation of the graduation of digital director, I had the opportunity to work with animation's filmmakers as Nicolas Devaux - cube Creative - or Bastien Dubois (Nominated for 2011 Oscars) - Sacrebleu Production.
