Persistence of Vision (Kevin Schreck, 2012)
Striving to make the greatest animated film of all time, visionary animator Richard Williams (Academy Award-winning animation director of Who Framed Roger Rabbit) toiled for more than a quarter of a century on his masterpiece, The Thief and the Cobbler – only to have it torn from his hands. Schreck has woven together mind blowing animation, rare archival footage and exclusive interviews with key animators and artists who worked with Williams on his ill-fated magnum opus to bring this legendary, forgotten chapter of cinema history to the screen for the very first time.
A tale of creative genius gone horribly awry, Persistence of Vision is the untold story of the greatest animated film never made.
After the screening LIAF director Nag Vladermersky will be joined onstage by charismatic animator Michael Schlingmann who spent many years working with Richard Williams on this unrealised project and Persistence of Vision director Kevin Schreck.
