FANTASMAGORIA
The thaumatrope. The magic lantern. Betty Boop and vaudeville. The surrealism of Jan Švankmajer. Japanese contemporary independent animators. All these themes and many more are at the centre of “Phantasmagoria – (Over One) Century of Animation Cinema”, a book curated by Davide Giurlando and published by Marsilio, featuring some of the greatest animators in the world (Bruno Bozzetto, Bill Plympton, Barry JC Purves, Wendy Tilby & Amanda Forbis, Ülo Pikkov) as well as world-class scholars.
