Connection
Paul Driessen is a Director and Animation Néerlandais born on 1 january 1940 at Nijmegen (Pays-bas)
Paul Driessen (born 1940) is a Dutch film director, animator and writer. His short films have won more than fifty prizes all over the world, including the Life Achievement Awards at both Ottawa and Zagreb animation festivals, and an Academy Award nomination for "3 misses". His films: 3 Misses and 2D or Not 2D were included in the Animation Show of Shows.
After studying graphic design and illustration at the Art Academy in Utrecht, Driessen began animating TV-commercials in Holland in the 1960, although he had no training in that art at all. When George Dunning, in search for talent, found Driessen at the Cine Cartoon Centre in Hilversum, he hired him as an animator for his feature animation film Yellow Submarine (1968). He also helped Driessen to emigrate to Canada where he became a member of the National Film Board of Canada in 1972.
Driessen's unique style can be easily recognised by the delicate quality of his ever-moving and wiggling lines, as well as by the fluid but awkward movements of his characters. His storytelling sometimes splits up the screen into three or even six different parts, with all actions nicely woven into each other.
In the 1980s Driessen taught animation at the University of Kassel, Germany, after Jan Lenica. Two of his student's films, "Balance" by Christoph and Wolfgang Lauenstein, and Quest (short film) by Tyron Montgomery and Thomas Stellmach, won Academy Awards.
Il part ensuite au Canada en 1970, où il réalise avec l'aide de l'Office national du film du Canada quelques courts métrages. Il y rencontre Nico Crama, un autre Néerlandais (ils sont presque voisins aux Pays-Bas selon leur dires) qui deviendra son producteur pour L'assassinat d'un œuf, puis de nombreux autres courts métrages jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Ils retournent ensemble aux Pays-Bas. Nico Crama fonde une société de production de cinéma d'animation, qui aidera des réalisateurs néerlandais parmi les plus talentueux.
En 1984, alors que les Jeux Olympiques de Los Angeles battent leur plein, les Olympiades de l'animation présente le classement des cinquante meilleurs films d'animation de l'histoire parmi lesquels se trouvent trois courts métrages de Paul Driessen : Au bout du fil, Une Vielle boîte et Jeu de coudes.

At the beginning of the story, Pepperland is introduced by a narrator as a cheerful, music-loving paradise under the sea, protected by Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The titular Yellow Submarine rests on an Aztec-like pyramid on a hill. At the edge of the land is a range of high blue mountains.
