Tailored for the "common" man
In just 5 years period (2003-2007) independent animation author Igor Coric has, with his craftsmanship, intellect, temper and emotions, made a path from creating purely artistic and experimental films to a structured film storytelling. The success of his films comes from all the aspects of his creations, but mostly from his sincere and intimate engagement for the “common” man. All that contemporary man endures: alienation, physical and mental violence, pressure of personal and collective ambitions, global warming, technicizm… -is the theme of these films, together with author’s opinion and irony impregnated with constructive thought and creative force for the good of the civilization. Internet has opened the author’s eye for the world of animation and has evolved into his playground: the place to present his work, interact with his audience, and again, to influence his future work. Furthermost, through intelligent messages widely spread via internet, these work’s direct influence undisturbed, unlike parents, school or media influences, teach us how to be better.
Presentation of Igor Coric’s work within O3one project will include the series of exquisitely inventive animated films that author creates in collaboration with Australian (Brisbane based) production house “BIGFISH.TV” that will soon air on the internet.
