Val del Omar
José Val del Omar (Loja, Granada, 27 de octubre de 1904 -- Madrid, 4 de agosto de 1982) fue un director de cine e inventor español.
José Val del Omar fue un gran creador de un talento artístico y tecnológico extraordinario. Trabajó en las Misiones Pedagógicas de la Segunda República. Val del Omar fue contemporáneo y camarada de Federico García Lorca, Luis Cernuda, Josep Renau, María Zambrano y otros nombres mayores de una «Edad de Plata» truncada con la Guerra Civil.
Fue un «creyente del cinema», fue un iluminado por nuevos horizontes, que formuló mediante las siglas PLAT —que equivalen al concepto totalizador de Picto--Lumínica--Audio--Táctil<wbr>—. En 1928 anticipó ya varias de sus técnicas más características, incluyendo el «desbordamiento apanorámico de la imagen», la salida fuera de los límites de la pantalla, y el concepto de «visión táctil».
Dichas técnicas, y la del «sonido diafónico» y otras exploraciones en el campo sonoro, las aplicaría en su Tríptico elemental de España, que incluye: «Aguaespejo granadino» (1953--1955), «Fuego en Castilla» (1958--1960) y «Acariño galaico» (1961/1981--1982/1995), concluido póstumamente. Pues su obra y su tenaz actividad investigadora —a contrapelo de la incomprensión y el olvido— no empezaron a ser redescubiertas hasta poco antes de su muerte, siendo en cambio el principio de un renacimiento que sigue ganando adeptos. Sin fin, como él ponía al término de sus filmes.

Polish Experimental Animation
"Experimental animation is a broad notion that can be applied to many genres of animated film that break with formal and narrative conventions. The present anthology is a selection of some forty productions that do not quite fit into the mainstream of film animation. On the three discs the viewer will find abstract films, films composed of photographic images subjected to manipulation, as well as animations drawn in unconventional fashion. Some of these are works by well-known artists from beyond the cinematic milieu - writer Stefan Themerson and his painter wife Franciszka, for example, the designer Andrzej Pawlowski, or the photographer Tomek Sikora. There are also works by leading Polish contemporary artists like Józef Robakowski and Jerzy Kalina. There is no lack of work by world-renowned animators like Jan Lenica, Walerian Borowczyk, Zbigniew Rybczynski or Jerzy Kucia. The choice of films included in the Anthology of Polish Experimental Animation is so varied that every viewer is sure to find something of great interest". Marcin Gizycki
Viktor Kubal
Viktor Kubal was born on March 20, 1923, in Svätý Jur. As early as twelve years old he tried to bring pictures to life drawing on a celluloid tape with ink after having scratched off the emulsion. In 1942 he worked on the movie Únos (A Kidnap), but he failed to finish it, and so the first Slovak animated movie is Studňa lásky (The Well of Love), which he finished a year later. Since 1943, he worked for the Institute for School and Adult Education Film (Školfilm). Between 1952 and 1964 he was in charge of the graphic design of the satirical magazine Roháč. In 1965 Kubal worked as an art director and a film director in the Studio of Animated Movie (Štúdio animovaného filmu). In 1976, he finished the first Slovak animated feature film Zbojník Jurko (The Brigand Jurko) and four years later, another full-length feature Krvavá pani (The Bloody Lady). On both movies, he worked not only as the director, but also as the author of the idea and animator, similarly to 200 other films that he made throughout his life. His movies were awarded in many prominent national and international film festivals. Viktor Kubal died on April 24, 1997, in Bratislava.
