Uldis Dumpis

biography: Uldis Dumpis nekad nav tēlojis mīlētājus un „bālos zēnus”, viņam nācies spēlēt gan „labos”, gan „sliktos” ar mugurkaulu un stāju – jūrniekus, militāristus, neordinārus tēvus dažāda vecuma bērniem. Aktieris ar savu personību piepilda telpu un jūt partneri, humora piepildīts naivums piemīt viņa labi noaugušajiem varoņiem, un viņi nav uz mutes krituši. Dumpis prot arī dažus vārdus pateikt tā, ka „anekdote būs dzimusi”. Dumpis liek sevi pamanīt jau epizodiskā – Brieža – lomā filmā „Ceplis” (1972), savukārt Didzis filmā „Pūt, vējiņi!” (1973) allaž ir Ulda (Ģirts Jakovļevs) ēnā, skaidri nojaušams, ka šis puisis ņem no dzīves to, ko tā piedāvā. Dumpja lomu loma ir Tūteru Ēriks filmā „Limuzīns Jāņu nakts krāsā” (1981) – te viņš ar savu kūsājošo klaunādi, kas saglabā reālisma iezīmes, uzdod toni visai filmai. Slikts pļāvējs, slikts autovadītājs, slikts jaunu meitu mīlētājs un slikts vīrs. Bet cik pievilcīgs vīrietis! Katrs būtu pelnījis tik koķeti dusmīgu, skopu un vienlaikus labsirdīgu tēvu kā Dumpja tēlotais mazā Emīla tēvs ģimenes filmā „Emīla nedarbi” (1985). Īpaši izceļama ir Latvijas ārlietu ministra Vilhelma Muntera loma filmā „Baiga vasara” (2000), kur nodevība, bailes un karjerisms sajaucas pamatīgā kokteilī. Emociju gamma Dumpja tēlotā Muntera sejā mainās viena kadra ietvaros, tas ir izcila aktiera cienīgs darbs. Arī Dumpja tēlotais Barons, kurš prot ar godu zaudēt zemniekam (filmā „Rūdolfa mantojums”, 2010) ir vērā ņemams sniegums. Uldis Dumpis uz ekrāna ir pašvērtība, ko kinorežisori ar prieku respektē.

title: Winter Days

overview: An animated film based on one of the renku (collaborative linked poems) in the 1684 collection of the same name by the 17th-century Japanese poet Bashō. The creation of the film followed the traditional collaborative nature of the source material – the visuals for each of the 36 stanzas were independently created by 35 different animators. As well as many Japanese animators, Kawamoto assembled leading names in animation from across the world. Each animator was asked to contribute at least 30 seconds to illustrate their stanza, and most of the sequences are under a minute (Yuriy Norshteyn's, though, is nearly two minutes long).

title: Here and There

overview: Here and There (1961) fuses live-action and animation and was screened at Three-Person Animation 2. Musique concrète and electronic sounds made by modulating everyday noises such as flush toilets are interspersed throughout the work. Contrasts between opposites, as encapsulated by the title – between live-action space and animated space, between mundane sounds of daily life and bizarre noises – and the war between the sexes, a signature theme in Yōji Kuri’s work, are also palpable in the juxtaposition of musique concrète and scat singing.

title: Stamp Fantasia

overview: Along with graphic designer / ad-man Ryohei Yanagihara (柳原良平) and renowned book cover designer Hiroshi Manabe (真鍋博), Kuri formed the Animation Sannin no Kai (Animation Group of Three) in 1960. In doing so the three animators followed the footsteps of the 1950s Sannin no Kai composers (Yasushi Akutagawa, Ikuma Dan & Toshiro Mayuzumi) who banded together to stage performances of their avant-garde style of music. The Animation Group of Three showcased their work at three events: November 1960, December 1962, and April 1963. After 1964 this event expanded into a wider Animation Festival, that annually showcased the experimental fare of such artists as Taku Furukawa, Sadao Tsukioka, Goro Sugimoto, Keiichi Tanaami, and even Osamu Tezuka until 1971. Stamp Fantasy was introduced at the first Animation Group of Three screening on November 26, 1960 in the Sogetsu Art Center.

title: Astero

overview: This immensely successful remake of the 1929 foustanella classic was directed by Dinos Dimopoulos and quickly established its stars (Dimitris Papamichael and the beautiful Aliki Vouyouklaki) as the Greek cinema's top box-office draws. The story itself rigidly follows the conventions of its subgenre, although because Greek filmmakers were still churning out foustanellas for decades afterward, it hardly seems more dated than the original. Once again, it tells the tale of Mitros (Titos Vandis), a wealthy herd owner with a foster daughter named Astero (Vouyouklaki) whom he marries off to another herd owner, despite the fact that she and his son Thimios (Papamichael) are desperately in love. The other herd owner dies and Astero loses her mind a bit (although she doesn't wig out quite as spectacularly as Aliki Theodoridou in the silent original), but Mitros finally comes to the right decision and allows the children to marry.
