I Castelli Animati

Kafka Poster

© Copyright Oscar Grillo 2007

Dice Oscar:

Hoy salgo para el “I Castelli Animati International Animation Festival” en Roma, entre otras cosas habrá una muestra de dibujos míos titulada “Animated Kafka”. Por una feliz coincidencia, la muestra tendrá lugar en los famosos estudios de Cinecittá, donde Fellini filmó “Intervista”, una película sobre esos estudios y de como trató de filmar allí “America” de Kafka. Maravillosa coincidencia.

Si te “morís de ganas” de ver mis dibujos diarios, seguí visitando este blog, Rubén González, “El Editor”, tiene una colección de dibujos nuevos que le durará hasta el lunes.

Nos vemos la semana que viene, salute.
Oscar

Oscar says:

Today I am going to the “I Castelli Animati International Animation Festival” in Rome, among other things there is an exhibition of my drawings, a collection called: “Animated Kafka”. It will be shown at the famous Cinecittá Studios, where Fellini shot “Intervista", a film about the studios and his attempts to shoot Kafka's “America”. Wonderful coincidence.

If you “need” to see my daily drawings, please, keep visiting this blog, Rubén González, “The Editor”, has a collection of fresh pictures to post until Monday.

See you next week.
