Back it up! Post corrections...

Man, oh, man, I can be a goofy pooch sumtimes. Just a few corrections to my post on the most excellent week of special events celebrating the works of Frédéric Back.

The reason why no tickets have gone on sale yet? All the events are FREE. Gratis. Gratuit. Just show up with yer passion for animation and yer in. But show up early! This includes the screening night at the Bloor Cinema...the films showing on March 15th will all be 35 mm prints of the following:

All Nothing
Crac!
The Mighty River
The Man who Planted Trees

Once again, shouts out to our homies at Saxon Investments for helping us put this show together. Sorry for them errors. Be sure to get out to these awesome events and laud the work of one of the world's best animation artists. Cheers!

TAIS event: FRÉDÉRIC BACK

O.k., folks, this is flippin' huge. Madi worked her magic along with special partners Saxon Investments to bring us a week of exhibitions and screenings of master animator Frédéric Back.
Head on over to the TAIS website for all the details and a downloadable bio of Mr. Back, as well as a printable PDF of the postcard designed for the event. The highlight of the week will no doubt be the screening of "All-Nothing", "The Mighty River" and "The Man who Planted Trees" at the Bloor Cinema on Saturday, March 15th...because the man himself will be in attendance for a moderated discussion of his works. No word on when tickets go on sale, but snap 'em up, people.

This unique project is made possible thanks to the financial support of SAXON INVESTMENTS , the loan of works of art and films by Radio Canada and our community partners: the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT), the Alliance Française de Toronto, the Centre francophone de Toronto and the Scarborough Arts Council.
