The colorful visual humor of Mordillo’s images has achieved worldwide recognition and the artist has been honored with many awards. ![]() International guests of this year’s festival will be the Argentinian caricaturist Mordillo and Ron Diamond, leading independent producer and founder of ACME Filmworks. Abulafia will participate in two festival events: one evening will focus on his work in animation, and the second will be a joint appearance with author Meir Shalev, dedicated to the topic of illustrating children’s books. Abulafia has written 11 books, illustrated 140, and created animation for children’s shows, news programs, entertainment and satire – including the ground-breaking “Nikui Rosh” (1976) a program of social and political satire that merged comic skits with surreal animation, which had an enormous impact on Israeli television and culture. Jerusalem animator and illustrator Yossi Abulafia will be the keynote guest of the festival and an exhibit of his caricatures will be on display. Hundreds of animated films will be screened at the festival, which also includes workshops, master classes, exhibits, lectures and activities for children. Celebrating its 10th birthday, the International Animation Comics Caricature Festival is taking on an expanded, 5 day program, and a shorter name – Animix! The festival will take place at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque from August 17 – 21.
