EUROPA, EAST at goEast Film Festival in Germany
PART OF: SYMPOSIUM ON THE RISE OF EASTERN EUROPE’S RIGHT WING
“Works by two young filmmakers with Hungarian roots are among the most interesting attempts to personally confront the subjects of the past and of mourning. The atmospheric feature EUROPA, EAST (2010) by Anita Doron, who was born in the multi-ethnic Carpathians, presents a bold blueprint for ways in which individual...

“This dreamlike film is both sweet and funny, and brings the genre of magical realism to the screen with a deft touch. The relaxed acting, quietly amusing narration, and radiant performance by Beatriz Yuste as Louise make this film a delight.” - Ealasaid A. Haas, Cineblog

Lola Grimm and the Humanity Machine
New fiction work by Anita Doron receives a Toronto Arts Council grant.
Opening paragraph:
“Lola Grimm has a beautiful head. It displays dark almond eyes and spider-silk, black hair so long it extends beyond her fingertips. It’s like an ancient flag – shredded and frail, it contains an antiquated sense of belonging. Her lips are moist and red, full of lust. Her body is a skeleton held...

the evolution of an ALIEN FAIRY TALE
I made the drawings for the Octoberman music video when I first came to Canada and my English knowledge was sourced from watching Blackadder episodes and taking dubious language classes in the Ukraine (from two old ladies who lived through WWII in England and forever carried the misplaced imprint of afternoon tea and pastel-coloured British hats.) These were illustrations for a circular, alien...

He led me to a sacred room and put my forehead against a giant, stuffed condor with turquoise eyes that represented his spirit. He told me I must take a bath in my favourite flowers on the third day of every...

LATE FRAGMENT at san jose
San Jose. The credits roll on Late Fragment and I’m standing before a crowd of well dressed super media geeks telling them that the process of making an interactive feature was a delicious mindfuck. I signed on to do this film because a) Ana accosted me at some panel where I was speaking on some godforsaken mobisode I did for the TIFF talent lab and I thought she was cool b) Anita Lee had really...
