President Wang Fang

President Wang Fang: first of all, we want to build a platform for communication and sharing. In fact, from the beginning, we hope that it will become a platform for collecting, gathering and displaying the works of various animation artists. Secondly, this work mainly includes the works of Chinese and foreign artists in Shenzhen animation Biennale and some excellent works in Stuttgart Animation Festival. These two types of works are very different in terms of creative ideas, creative styles and final effects. The more such a display in the same space, the more collision and communication can be formed, and the spark of creation can be stimulated. The third significance is academic, which is different from the general film and television exhibition and the screening of graduation works exhibition. This is a literature exhibition, and the works have academic research value. I also hope that this exhibition can promote our animation academic research to have more new achievements and provide more new content for animation academic research.

Dr. Kerry, Dean of Goethe College

Dr. Kerry, Dean of Goethe College: I come here at least once a year to attend the opening ceremony, so I'm very happy. Many of Goethe College's work in Nanjing has something to do with Nanyi, from design to comics to animation, which is very interesting and lively. We also have some sustainable cooperation. Since last year, we have had animation cooperation. Now we continue to deepen our cooperation, not only providing animation, but also providing some academic reports. Such interaction and communication are very interesting and profound. In this year's Shenzhen Biennale, we also provided some works. This form of cooperation is very suitable for the development of our work. So I hope we will have more abundant and better cooperation in the future. Thanks to all the teachers in the school of media, Nanyi University, especially Mr. Wang for his care in an art aspect. I feel very grateful and very happy. I also hope that Nanyi will have more cooperation with us, especially in the field of animation. I wish the exhibition a success. Thank you.

Curator Mr. Cao Kai

Curator Mr. Cao Kai: Thank you very much for providing such a good, all inclusive and open platform for this literature exhibition. Thanks to Mr. Liu Jian and Mr. Wang Fang for their efforts. After the construction of this platform, the literature exhibition has become a regular activity, which also enables the platform to collect animation literature and present a large number of documentary cartoons to us, so that it can reach the audience. This is a particularly good way. In addition to the programs from Germany and China, we are also very grateful to Shenzhen independent animation Biennale for providing us with a lot of content. Last year, Mr. He was also invited. The curators of Shenzhen independent animation Biennale and I planned the activities in Shenzhen, so the literature exhibition was successful. This is a multi-party effort, We build such a window together to let you see these cartoons. Thank you!

Vice President Xue Feng

Vice President Xue Feng: since the launch of this literature exhibition, almost all the activities of each session have been full. This year, through online booking, there will be so many people to participate. It can be imagined that Nanjing has a strong demand for artistic activities like ours. Animation just plays a role of media, which can take place in depth, as well as in entertainment and education. Therefore, we are full of confidence in our future activities. We also hope to be able to give high-quality film sources such as Stuttgart Animation Festival to our students, citizens and people living in such a cultural atmosphere through our platform, so as to spread this kind of cross domain art to more places.

Ulrich wignast, chairman of Stuttgart International Animation Film Festival

Ulrich wignast, chairman of Stuttgart International Animation Film Festival: Mr. Wang Fang mentioned a key word "dialogue" in his speech just now. I think our literature exhibition itself is a good platform for dialogue. To understand this dialogue in a narrow sense is the dialogue between animation artists of the two countries, and to understand it in a broad sense, This exhibition is also a dialogue between European and Chinese cultures, which is particularly important for today's China EU relations. We will show you two films below. The first one is a customized film. It is not created by artists themselves, but by artists hired by specific units. The interesting thing about this film is that its theme is just related to European tourism. It is a public service advertisement for the European general election, Interestingly, the producer is an artist from Iran. He studied animation art in Germany. It is a very interesting cultural exchange to create European films to reflect on Europe as an Iranian artist. I think animation is also a form with a very large package capacity, that is, it is a very good medium in animation, which can show the diversified and universal films of the society. Many cartoons have no language, but it has its own rhythm. Sometimes cartoons are like a song. You have to sing it several times to feel its rhythm. In the following unit, let's watch Mr. priggard's film again. We should have more experience of this film.
