A weekend of animated films that will blow your mind! Animation is returning to the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema to cure your frozen February blues. This year we have some new things in store including the Canadian premieres of Away, Another Day Of Life and the award winning kids series The Bravest Knight.
An official Cannes selection and winner of the European Film Award for Best Animated Film, Another Day of Life is a daringly ambitious dive into the chaos of war, based on the book by the journalist Ryszard "Ricardo" Kapuscinski, one of the world's most compelling chroniclers of conflict. Intercutting a graphically bold animation style with interviews and archival footage, the visually striking film conveys a rare immediacy as it tells of the outbreak of civil war following Angola's independence from Portugal in 1975. His animated trip through corpse-strewn roads conveys an undeniable urgency, while the documentary testimony reminds us that we are watching actual history.
