Talk:Yuri Norstein

message: After the 1990s, it seems that few details of Yuriy's life are known.  I only just found out that he founded a studio in 1993, a fact that none of the English-language articles on him have mentioned!  Does anyone have any more info about what Norshteyn has been up to lately, or of his involvement with this school/studio?  Here are a few usefull links that I found:
http://university.imdb.com/company/co0017375/
http://www.awn.com/stuttgart_anifest/shar.html
Apparently, Aleksandr Petrov's "The Mermaid" was made in SHAR Studio... sounds like a topic for a new article, maybe.  But most of the links about SHAR that I have found do not mention Norshteyn anywhere in them, so any information that anyone has on what he's been doing lately would be quite useful.

thread_title: SHAR Studio - request for information

message: I had the chance to speak to two people at the Ottawa International Animation Festival this weekend who told me something of The Overcoat's current status.
The first was Kihachiro Kawamoto, who was there for the Canadian premiere of his film The Book of the Dead. Kawamoto has worked with Norshteyn a few times in the past few years and seems to be very respectfull of him - he was the director of 2003's Winter Days, and he also invited Norshteyn to animate a scene in his latest film as a "guest animator". He told me (largely through a translator, as English is a bit difficult for him) that Toshio Suzuki, the president and chief producer of Studio Ghibli, is currently funding Norshteyn's work. The catch, he said, was that in order to get the funding, Norshteyn had to give Suzuki a concrete date for when he would finish the film, and apparently he told him that he would have it done by the end of 2007. Kawamoto thinks that it's not very likely that he'll actually finish the film - indeed Norshteyn has always put his artwork ahead of any deadlines...
The other person was Russian animator Konstantin Bronzit, who was present for a retrospective of his work at the festival (his short films are hilarious, by the way). He told me that he personally knows Norshteyn - indeed, it seems that most animators in Russia know each other - and believes that nearly an hour of The Overcoat is done right now and that it will be released relatively soon. However, he found it very funny when I told him of the "end of 2007" date. Besides that, he told me that Norshteyn is living relatively well nowadays and gets income from appearances and lectures. Oh, and also that Norshteyn, Fyodor Khitruk, Andrey Khryanovsky, and Edward Nazarov are no longer involved with SHAR School and Studio (see topic above) - he didn't want to talk about it much and told me that it's a bit of a nasty story.  It would be interesting to know the story for the sake of this article, though, so if anyone anyone knows...
Anyway, there you have it. Rather encouraging news to hear that the film might be released within a few years or so - I'd been afraid that I might never see it. Let us hope that Suzuki is forgiving of missed deadlines.  
Obviously this information cannot be included in this article as it is taken from primary sources and is not independently verifiable, but I thought I'd post it here anyway, just in case anybody happens to find an acceptable-for-wikipedia secondary source that would confirm it.  Maybe there's some interview where Suzuki mentions that he's funding Norshteyn's work - who knows?  I can't read Japanese... -Esn 14:27, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: News on the status of ''The Overcoat''

message: A few interesting quotes by Norshteyn, from this interview:
Ведь что ни делай, все равно к мультипликации будут относиться как к дебильному ребенку, который вдруг, например, заговорил. "Так ты еще и разговаривать умеешь?! Что же ты раньше молчал?" А до этого все было хорошо, и суп был теплый.
:English:
:After all, whatever you do, still everyone will treat animation like a retarded child who, for example, begins to talk.  "Oh, so you can even talk?!  Why were you so quiet before, then?"  Yet before that moment everything was good, and the soup was warm. 
Кинематограф не должно интересовать то, что подробно описано, он должен обращаться к тому, что пропущено, к тому, что предполагается, но не воплощено в слове. Разрыв в тексте - самое подробное, самое живое место для кино.
:English (talking about literary adaptations):
:The cinematographer should not be interested in that which is described in detail - he should look to that which is skipped, to that which is implied but is not explicitly written.  The break in the text is the most promising, the most alive place for cinema.
