ASIFA-Hollywood is hosting a special evening with internationally recognized animator and animation historian John Canemaker, a professor and director of the animation program at New York University Tisch School of the Arts. His projects have won an Academy Award, Emmy Awards, Ace Award and Peabody Award. His independent animated shorts are in the Museum of Modern Art permanent collection. He is the author of ten books on animation history (including DISNEY'S NINE OLD MEN and WINSOR MCCAY: HIS LIFE & ART) and is a writer on animation for the NEW YORK TIMES.
ASIFA-Hollywood will be screening Canemaker's latest film, THE MOON AND THE SON and will discuss his career in animation with rare clips from animated films that have inspired him and his career. Jerry Beck will moderate the Q & A.
The event will take place at 7:00 pm on the DreamWorks Animation Campus, 1000 Flower Street, Glendale, California. It is free for ASIFA-Hollywood members. Please bring a photo I.D. with you for admittance. Admission is $10 for non-members who must purchase tickets in advance. No tickets will be sold at the door.
