Alex Boya, after the tone

A voicemail for lonely animators | Une messagerie vocale pour animateurs isolé.e.s

Animation Hotline is a voicemail for lonely animation filmmakers and artists. The cancellation of so many festivals lately has stopped happy spontaneous discussions. I wanted to hear and share news from those animation creators, giving them the opportunity to leave a message, without any pressure. Animation Hotline c'est une messagerie vocale pour auteurs et artistes isolé.e.s. L'annulation de trop nombreux festivals depuis plus d'un an a coupé court aux heureuses discussions spontanées. J'ai eu envie de prendre et de donner des nouvelles de ces créatrices et auteurs d'animation, en leur laissant la liberté de s'exprimer sans pression de l'immédiateté.

Alex Boya is a director and writer from Bulgaria, based in Canada. He studied animation and film at Concordia University. We met in 2014 in Montreal, when he was hosted by the NFB, involved in the program for young filmmakers called "HotHouse". He directed "Focus", a short film inspired by medical illustrations and using the techniques of etching and engraving. Then, in 2018 the short film "Turbine", also produced by the NFB.
Lately, he started the development of an ambitious hybrid project, called "The Mill", a creative world-building experiment, graphic novel and film.
