$9.99 Opening/Snow White/Norstein
- Tatia Rosenthal‘s animated feature has its New York premiere tomorrow evening at the Landmark Sunshine Cinemas at 143 East Houston Street (view map).
From the director, who certainly wants to celebrate:
“If you go to see it this Friday at 8:15 (tickets should be on sale soon on Fandango or on the theater’s website) we can all go after for drinks. I’ll be there to lead the way. I’m thinking La Linea or One and One – both on first Av. and First street. See you Friday!”
The film, in case you don’t know as yet, is a stop-motion animated feature based on the book by Etgar Keret, a series of short stories. Ms. Rosenthal raised the money from Israel and directed the animation in Australia. It includes an all-star cast including Geoffrey Rush (who recently won the Tony Award for Exit the King) and Anthony LaPaglia.
There was a good article in the NYTimes last Friday.
An informative interview with Tatia Rosenthal appears in Film Monthly, and there is an interview with writer, Etgar Keret, in the NYPress.
Hopefully there will be plenty more press with this opening.
The film’s official website can be found here.
Needless to say, this film is not getting quite the same marketing push that UP is getting, and the filmmaker needs as many to show up this weekend as possible to keep the film alive and thriving. Get off your bum, as they say, and go see it. It’s going to be raining all weekend anyway; perfect time for a movie.
- I’d like to suggest a brilliant website with some awe inspiring artwork that you won’t see elsewhere. Most of it, currently, is from Disney’s Snow White, and you get to realize what a remarkable film that was. The Cowan Collection is just a treat for people like me. Such a wealth of material. I also suggest you leave a comment. It’s disheartening to put a lot of work into a site to have no feedback.
- There’s an interview with Yurij Norstein at the Animatsiya in English site. This is what the Art of it is all about. Thank you Niffiwan.

Hi, Michael–
Just wanted to take the opportunity to let you know
how much I appreciate this site. I have it bookmarked and read it pretty much everyday.
I work in the graphics/illustration field and have a great interest in animation…you put a lot of work into this site, and there are many out there, like myself, who benefit from it.
Thank you!
Dana

I got my tickets to the 8:15 PM show of Tatia’s film on Friday night. I missed a bunch of free opportunities to attend press screenings, but, somehow I’m glad. I think the best thing is to buy a ticket to show one’s support of an important film like this.

Better yet, Disney Studios has put it’s entire animation archive online (internally). Super hi-rez scans of every piece of art they’ve got, with names attached whenever possible, including drafts. Animation, story, pre-produciton, background, photos. Searchable by many criteria (artist, movie, department). It’s available to everyone in the studio. They’re not finished putting everything in, but have a great head start. Fun stuff!

They need greater accounts to offset the cost of the signals and still make money.

While medication manufacturers are working hard to develop oral medications that could improve male organ sensitivity levels, topical male organ health cremes might play a key role.
If I had those two in my life, I settled much faster and I felt
happy. And the drink didn’t just help Sam, but
all his friends to the best of my knowledge: an arthritic Rottweiler, a cat
with cystitis and a dog with digestive problems, just to name the first
three who tried the aloe drink. A good introductory meditation is to focus on a point
in a stream as viewed from a bridge. There have been numerous
studies to prove its existence, with some success and with some disappointments.

But,fortunately many grants for firsttime home buyersare available to help pay for a new home.
What happened to buying a house with no money down. Ask how your credit history
affects the price of your loan and what you would need to do
to get a better price. By the time they get the keys, their new home is live-in ready.
Did you know that under most first time home buyer programs that single parents are AUTOMATICALLY considered first time home buyers.
