In the part of diffusion I wanted to mention the selection of Via Tango at various film or video festivals or exhibitions (national, international, generalists, specialists...), its presence in various media online, blogs, websites, video portals (Vimeo, YouTube) and social networks (Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn ...). Also worthy of mention educational applications in different educational stage and collaborations with others within and outside the world of animation.
If in the previous part, the animated image was the protagonist, self-promotion will be the still image and we highlight the picture book, articles, business cards, greeting and celebration cards, exhibitions, derivative works (boxes , postcards ...), that they have been, all of them works produced as a result from the making of the short film and in order to give more visibility and publicity, but without forgetting that each piece has its own entity.

This article discusses the use of animation and its interaction with the user in the new formats of children's reading where, increasingly often, illustration and text explore the narrative possibilities of moving images. To do this, I will use as a case study The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr Morris Lessmore which is a part of a transmedia production derived from the film version of the animated short film which won the Oscar in 2012.

Serve us a case study the animated short lm Vía Tango [1], which largely used as foundation and dancing axis around which has turned the entire production, we’ll see if the media animated choreography and be able to work on the same assumptions, for nally wonder about the meaning of the animators might appreciate dance and mobile reference.

The idea of animation is to provide abstraction and symbolization of motion pictures. In this sense, the visual metaphor will have a great rhetoric relevance and will be emphasized on both cases of study. The use of animation as a form of art and as mediation has a dual purpose. Firstly, it helps to have a better understanding of those who are affected by Crohn's disease and Hepatitis C, and secondly, it familiarizes chronic patients and health personnel with language and artistic values of animated images.

Animation has proved to be a universal language that shows complex medical and social problems, to the point that, not only projects as Animation in Therapy, awarded for innovation in health which is sponsored by The National Endowment for Science Technology and the Arts (NESTA); but also specialized workshops have been carried out; for example, Healing Education Research Therapy (HEART) as well as events like Animation on Prescription, held in the Encounters Short Film and Animation Festival. This paper analyzes Squid Ink and C Plan, two animation short films which are used as a therapeutic tool of artistic mediation to promote positive social values. The idea of animation is to provide abstraction and symbolization of motion pictures. In this sense, the visual metaphor will have great rhetoric relevance and will be emphasized on both cases of study. The use of animation as a form of art and as mediation has a dual purpose. Firstly, it helps to have a better understanding of those who are affected by Crohn's disease and hepatitis C, and, secondly, it familiarizes chronic patients and health personnel with language and artistic values of animated images. Also, the idea of animation will be highlighted as an expressive medium applied in the medical field, empathizing with patients and medical staff as active participants of the proposed animated short films.

« Manoman » de Simon Cartwright, un court-métrage d’animation hilarant et accrocheur d’une durée de 11 minutes, nous rapproche du côté obscur de la force et nous invite en même temps à perdre le contrôle total, comme ses protagonistes. Primé par le Jury Prix Format Court au Festival Court Métrange, nommé aux BAFTA et ayant fait ses débuts à la Cinéfondation 2015, ce film est loin de rendre indifférent le public et les jurys festivaliers.

Ce court-metrage minimaliste, selectionné au Festival Court Metrange 2016, joue avec le suspense et la paranoia àtravers une reflexion sur la violence de genre et la confiance au sein du couple. Grace àune excellente utilisation de la voix-off et de l’off screen, le realisateur nous confronte à trois minutes de reelle detresse emotionnelle.

Espero que esta lectura les resulte útil.
Pero, antes de comenzar, permítanme que me presente: me llamo Adriana Navarro, y soy de Barakaldo. Cursémis dos primeros anos de carrera en Salamanca para luego aterrizar en la unica Facultad de Espana donde se impartía animacion, la Facultad de Bellas Artes en la Universidad Politecnica de Valencia. Allí me especialicéen Animacion. Durante el ultimo curso trabajécomo asistente en prácticas para un corto de la animadora Mª Carmen Poveda. Sentía que me faltaba algo por hacer, por lo que decidí acometer estudios superiores que me permitiesen profundizar en el conocimiento de la Animacion, asentar bien las bases de lo aprendido y adquirir mas nivel, de mano de grandes profesionales. Esa es la experiencia que me dispongo a compartir con ustedes.

Sirviéndonos como caso de estudio el cortometraje animado Vía Tango, que utiliza en gran parte el baile como fundamento y eje en torno al cual ha girado toda la producción, veremos si el medio animado y la coreografía son capaces de trabajar sobre los mismos presupuestos, para finalmente cuestionarnos por el significado que podrían apreciar los animadores de la danza y el referente móvil.

He begins by recalling his adolescence as the period in which he decides to go their own way guided by a taste of the art world, continues to speak about his influences and referents, as well as how he manage to combine his professional works with his personal works, and pointing to, among other things, some likes and dislikes and finally giving us some clues to his last (for jow) project.
