Evanston's Talking Pictures Festival presents an exceptional selection of independent films from March 8-11.
A Talking Pictures Festival favorite: bring your family to see this year’s Oscar-nominated animated shorts! Included are: Patrick Doyon’s SUNDAY/DIMANCHE (Canada, 10 min) examines a boring Sunday afternoon through a young boy’s eyes. In THE FANTASTIC FLYING BOOKS OF MR. MORRIS LESSMORE (USA, 15 min), William Joyce blends animation styles and draws inspiration from hurricanes, tornadoes and books…oh my! Pixar filmmaker Enrico Casaroasa’s LA LUNA (USA, 7 min) uses a fascination with the moon for this story of a boy, who learns about his father and grandfather’s strange profession. In Grant Orchard’s A MORNING STROLL (UK, 7 min) viewers speculate who is the real city slicker when a New Yorker passes a chicken on his morning walk. A young man’s move from England to Alberta to try ranching leads to a WILD LIFE (Canada, 13 min) in this Amanda Forbis film. Program length: 80 min.
