Introducing...Marc Riba visits ECA (Masterclass)

CinemaAtticis the platform for Spanish, Iberian and Latin-American cinema in Scotland. Our main purpose is to bridge the expressive quality of young filmmakers from national cinemas such as Spanish, Latin-American or Portuguese with the wealthiness of British organisations. Since 2008, CinemaAttic has produced and organised six different film and arts festivals across Scotland, collaborating with key venues and institutions to engage the public and raise the profile of Spanish film in Scotland. A Community Interest Company registrered in Scotland, at present CinemaAttic runs two regular short film nights in the city of Edinburgh and is working towards becoming a keystone company in the distribution of Spanish, Iberian and Latin-American cinema in Scotland and the UK and a platform for entertainment, learning, cultural diffusion, networking and industry development through arts and cinema

Bridging connections between Scottish and Spanish artists is key part in our job. We are glad to introduce Marc Riba’s visit in Scotland. He will be with us on the 30th Night for a Q&A session and prior to that he will give a free-ticketed masterclass at Edinburgh College of Art (2pm)
On Friday 30 of September we will celebrate a short (film) homage to Catalan film industry here in Scotland with <A HREF="http://cinemaattic.com/event/homage-to-catalonia-a-night-showcasing-catalan-short-films-in-edinburgh/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">a special event</A> at Old St Paul’s Hall. Marc Riba will be with us for a Q&A session after the films. The programme includes a retrospective into the work of world acclaimed catalan animators Anna Solanas and Marc Riba.
Sharing the duty, this month Anna will be in MoMA introducing their work to New York audiences and Marc will be doing so in Edinburgh. Lucky us, their mastery with puppet style stop-motion will be uncovered by some and re-discovered for others -most of our audience yet do not forget about dark and disturbing <A HREF="http://www.melies.org/films/canis" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Canis</A> short film-.
Marc will also be holding a free stop-motion Masterclass for filmmakers and film students earlier on Friday -2pm Fri 30 September- at Edinburgh College of Art. Marc will show the whole creative process from the doodles to how their puppets become obscure rebels and disturbing characters.
It is time to pay a well-deserved tribute to the work of Barcelona-based studio I+G Stop Motion. Marc Riba and Anna Solanas have long been favorites of the genre film circuit, their deliciously dark sensibilities fused with remarkable technical skills and a jet black sense of humor. ( ScreenAnarchy) They have made 8 short films which have been selected in more than 1000 festivals around the world. Fifteen years on the road, and we will celebrate it inside ‘A Short Homage to Catalonia’.
We are proud of having Marc Riba in Edinburgh with us for such an occasion. We’d like to take the opportunity to share his expertise within Scottish film industry network. It is a unique chance to catch this genuine duo and bridge connections between Spanish and Scottish animators. Something that <A HREF="http://cinemaattic.com/august-festival-spanish-animation-tribute-to-norman-mclaren/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Cinemaattic has already been working for</A> in past years. 
Marc Riba & Anna Solanas are visiting New York’s Moma next week, they were recently in Rotterdam and Montreal introducing their work inside the retrospective “From Doodles to Pixels: Over a Hundred Years of Spanish Animation”. It is a deep honour for CinemaAttic having Marc Riba in Edinburgh from the 29 to the 30 of September.
