OLIMPIU BANDALAC (n.1956)
Graduate of the Plastic Arts Institute of Bucharest, Olimpiu Bandalac is part of the "1980's generation" of Romanian animation. He makes his debut with the cartoon joint film Caligrafie / Penmanship, in 1982; for his following films he chooses other techniques. Thus, he animates cut up cardboards in Statuia / The statue and puppets in Navigatorul / The navigator. As a praised book illustrator, he oftenly exibits his work in the art of collage; this technique's cinema equivalent is found in Pompele / The pumps. He contributed to the making of several children's serial films such as Tainele desenului / The secrets of drawing.
