first clip of the movie "the congress" in cinemas 2013 ari folman's follow up to waltz with bashir combines live action feature and 2d animation sequences to explore the ethics of contemporary cinema and culture. ari folman's the congress is not the most predictable follow-up to waltz with bashir. "i do not want to be put in a cage," he told screen, when asked why he had moved away from the middle eastern politics of bashir. his new film is a loose adaptation of a novella by the polish science fiction writer and author of solaris, stanislaw lem. the congress deals with the dematerialization of society and questions the ethics or absence of them in contemporary cinema. eschewing any avatar-style technology, folman has intentionally used traditional 2d animation techniques to explore questions of ideny, reality and representation in a 3d era. this project consists of two parts: a live-action feature lasting about 45 minutes, followed by an animation of about 50 minutes. there is no careful transition from one medium to the other, it is done in "one cut" folman says, emphasizing that this sudden switch forces the viewer to compare the two aesthetics and think about how their differences inform the narrative. folman, who says he "always loved" lem's 1971 novella "the futurological congress", has written the script and has completed the illustrations for the animated section. in the lead role, robin wright plays an actress who has signed over her ideny to a movie ltbgt...lt bgt
