McLaren & Woloshen shorts w/ Filmmaker Q&A
Films by Norman McLaren & Steve Woloshen
Running time: 102 minutes
National Film Board of Canada
Special anniversary screening: to honor world-renowned Academy Award winning (Neighbors) filmmaker/animator Malcolm McLaren on the 100th anniversary of his birth. We're delighted to welcome Steve Woloshen, considered a McLaren disciple and respected and admired for his scratch animation films in his own right. McLaren came to Canada from Scotland in 1941 to work at the National Film Board where he was asked to form its animation department and where he developed his technique of drawing directly on film. Woloshen will present a selection of his favorite McLaren shorts and some of his own. Following the screening there will be a reception sponsored by the Quebec Delegation Boston.
