Artist's Talk Sommets x NFB | Duncan Major
We know the event, the festival organized by the Cinémathèque québécoise presenting the best of animation film. But the Sommets also host a series of animated events held at the Cinémathèque or elsewhere, and which showcase new releases as well as memorable films from the past, short and feature films, screenings at the indoors and outdoors, film lessons and other events.
To be kept up to date with its annual programming, visit the Sommets website.
The Sommets du cinéma d’animation, in partnership with the NFB, is pleased to invite you to an Artist’s Talk with Duncan Major
Based in St. John’s, Duncan Major is an artist, poet and designer with an interest in the offbeat. At 13, Duncan’s apprenticeship with artist Tara Bryan sparked a lifelong passion for letterpress printing. In her memory, he created Imprint, a poetic, handmade animated film celebrating their bond and the enduring influence of mentorship.
During this Talk, Duncan will discuss creating vibrant, hand-printed animation, blending evocative imagery and a beautifully crafted soundtrack. Imprint reminds us that art is not just what we make, but also the impact we have on the lives of those who follow in our footsteps.
This Talk will be given in English.
