The Tribeca Film Festival’s continuing celebration of NYC-based independent animators features a program of the career work of John Canemaker, pre-eminent filmmaker, author, teacher and historian. Due to his longstanding, unflinching commitment to this particular moving image art form, Canemaker has been called “animation’s ambassador at large [who] has brought animation’s unsung heroes into the limelight, expanded the parameters of the medium, and inspired those who are embarking on careers in the industry.”
Films in the program include: Confessions of a Stardreamer; Bridgehampton; The Wizard’s Son; Bottom’s Dream; Otto Messmer and Felix the Cat; and the Academy Award-winning The Moon and the Son: An Imagined Conversation.

Next week we’ll have some more goodies to display from John’s collection of Disney material. The Wind In The Willows storyboards starting Monday.
