VANCOUVER —\u00a0Atomic Cartoons\u00a0has teamed up with legendary animator Marv Newland to present an evening of animation, as part of the Vancouver International Film Festival\u2019s (VIFF) Canadian Images series. On October 8, Atomic Cartoons will present \u201cKooks & Legends: Animated Motion Pictures\u201d curated by Marv Newland at 6:15 p.m. at the Rio Theatre.<\/p>\n

The screening will feature a broad range of animation, ranging from Academy Award nominees to film school graduation films,\u00a0including Richard Condie\u2019s 1985 film,\u00a0The Big Snit,\u00a0<\/em>and last year\u2019s\u00a0Menagerie<\/em>\u00a0from Julian Gallese. According to VIFF\u2019s film guide the screening \u201cencompasses as many mood swings, stylistic shifts, rare delights and unexpected treats as can be jammed into an hour and a half.\u201d Marv will provide the audience with a short introduction to each film, explain his selection and offer some context. Tickets are available now at\u00a0www.viff.org<\/p>\n

Marv Newland is an animation director, and founder of International Rocketship, whose films include\u00a0Bambi Meets Godzilla<\/em>,\u00a0Anijam<\/em>,\u00a0Black Hula<\/em>,\u00a0Postalolio<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0CMYK<\/em>. His animation has been screened in festivals all over the world and has won prizes including the Grand Prix at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in France.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a lot of fun to curate this screening,\u201d Newland says. \u201cVIFF and Atomic gave me a clean slate to create an evening that includes a few animation classics —\u00a0both new and old.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to be able to present \u2018Kooks & Legends\u2019\u201d says Atomic Cartoons president\u00a0Trevor Bentley. \u201cWe\u2019re doing this to underline how important animation is both as an art\u00a0and an industry driver\u00a0in Vancouver and B.C.\u201d<\/p>\n
