Zarafa

Zarafa (2012)

Inspired by the true story of the first giraffe to visit France, Zarafa is a sumptuously animated and stirring adventure, and a throwback to a bygone era of hand-drawn animation and epic storytelling set among sweeping CinemaScope vistas of parched desert, wind-swept mountains and open skies. Under the cover of darkness a small boy, Maki, loosens the shackles that bind him and escapes into the desert night. Pursued by slavers across the moon-lit savannah, Maki meets Zarafa, a baby giraffe – and an orphan, just like him – as well as the nomad Hassan, Prince of the Desert. Hassan takes them to Alexandria for an audience with the Pasha of Egypt, who orders him to deliver the exotic animal as a gift to King Charles of France.

Zarafa is a 2012 French-Belgian animated film directed by Rémi Bezançon and Jean-Christophe Lie. It was released on 8 February 2012 in France. The story was inspired by a historical giraffe known today as Zarafa.

Production

Rémi Bezançon directed the film in collaboration with Marie Caillou, and later with Jean-Christophe Lie. For the screenplay, Rémi Bezançon loosely based it on the story of the giraffe given to Charles X by Méhémet Ali, without seeking historical accuracy, but with the idea of crafting ''an extraordinary adventure, somewhat inspired by Jules Verne''.

Zarafa was among the films selected for the Berlinale 2012.
