7:00 PM- Please join us for a special in-person Tribute to one of the most acclaimed and admired visual effects artists in cinema history, Ray Harryhausen, whose work includes such fantasy classics as THE 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD, JASON & THE ARGONAUTS, FIRST MEN IN THE MOON, THE VALLEY OF THE GWANGI and ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. First, Harryhausen will present the World Premiere of the short "The Tortoise And The Hare" (10 min.), a lovely, stop-motion animated fairytale for children which he began in 1952 -- and finished 50 years later with the help of two local animators, Mark Caballero and Seamus Walsh!! Followed by a double-feature of two rarely-seen Harryhausen features, in newly restored 35 mm. prints courtesy of Columbia Pictures:THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD and THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND. Discussion between features with visual effects artist Ray Harryhausen and "The Tortoise & The Hare" animators Mark Caballero and Seamus Walsh (schedules permitting).
