Persistence of Vision — the untold story of visionary animator Richard Williams and the greatest animated film never made — will be having its highly-anticipated Northern California premiere at the Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center in San Rafael on Thursday, November 21st, 7:00 PM, for one screening only!: http://bit.ly/PoVsrfc
PERSISTENCE OF VISION
Striving to make the best animated film of all time, visionary and acclaimed animator Richard Williams (three-time Oscar-winning animation director of Who Framed Roger Rabbit) spent nearly three decades of his life toiling away on his masterpiece, The Thief and the Cobbler — only to have it torn from his hands.
Using incredible animation from Williams’ lost epic, rare archival footage, and exclusive interviews with various artists and animators who worked on the ill-fated magnum opus, young filmmaker Kevin Schreck brings this legendary, forgotten chapter of cinema history to the screen for the very first time.
Called a “Herculean accomplishment” (indieWIRE), a “suspenseful portrait [and] superb documentary” (The Seattle Times), and a “fascinating slice of film history” (Variety), PERSISTENCE OF VISION is the “gripping” (The Globe and Mail), untold story of the greatest animated film never made.
