Paul Driessen, Dutch animator, is famous for his collaboration in the George Dunning’s Yellow Submarine. This year, he has been chosen by the Future Film Festival to give the tribute to the indipendent animation represented in Bologna by guests as Billy Plympton, Phil Mulloy, Pic Pic Andrè Productions. During his career , Driessen created a lot of animated shorts , approaching since the ‘70 years a profitable collaboration with the National Film Board of Canada. His style, dry and apparently childlike, is a very effective tool to get the audience to his narrative labirinth and to his games.
