WORKSHOP: Screening and critical discussion of "The Snowman"

Kaj Pindal will lead us through a screening and critical discussion of the The Snowman, an  animated film by Dianne Jackson and Jimmy Murakami, nominated for the 1982 Academy Award for Animated Short Film. The film was adapted from Raymond Briggs' award-winning children's book.

Made for BBC Television, the film uses traditional animation techniques, including chalk and pastel drawings. Without dialogue, it tells its story entirely by means of the animation and the wonderful musical score by Howard Blake. The British Film Institute lists it as one of the 100 greatest British Television programmes.

Join Kaj and myself for a screening of the complete film (26 minutes) followed by a critical discussion of the animation and other production values. All taking place at the usual time and place, A150 at 3 pm Wednesday.
