African Animation
Presented by: Mohamed Ghazala
|
Egypt |
1 hour
10 minutes |
Description:
African animation, as it is, started about 70 years ago in Egypt, whose founders were Frenkel brothers. The most interesting thing is that the pioneers of animation in Africa were not professional artists or animators. It was just a group of carpenters who immigrated to Egypt from Russia in search for freedom and work. No one expected from them something unusual, but first African animated cartoon was produced by them. They faced a lot of problems with necessary equipment and financing, but after all they finally made the first animated film in Egypt and in the whole Africa.
