ASIFA-SF and SF States animation program present Australian animator Dennis Tupicoff in person. Chain Saw, his latest animated tour-de-force, recently won the grand prize at the Oberhausen Film Festival in Germany. It is a remarkable coalescence of the mysteries of love, history and power tool safety, that will leave you gasping.

Dennis Tupicoff, a graduate of Queensland University, worked as an archivist and teacher before making his first animated film in Toowoomba. He moved to Melbourne and the Swinburne Film and TV School animation course in 1977. While sometimes making a living with TV ads and other commercial and sponsored work, and later teaching at the VCA School of Television (1992-4), he has made both animated and live-action independent films as writer, director, producer, and animator. One of Dennis’ strengths is his unique writing ability. He has a unique abilty to weave complicated ideas together with a remarkable voice. Don’t miss meeting him on a rare visit from Down Under.
