There is lots of programming today at the Festival of Films on Art (
FIFA). There's something for everybody.
If you missed the documentary
Il Etait Un Fois... Walt Disney when it aired late last year with English subtitles, it will be showing again today and Sunday in French at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, where the
exhibit of the same name has just started its North American run. The program begins at 2:00 p.m. (4:30 on Sunday) and is preceded by a documentary (with some animated sequences) on
Kinder Surprise, a guilty pleasure of mine. (Note that today and tomorrow are also your last two chances to see
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the museum).
If you're all Disneyed out, at 4:30 p.m. there is a screening of
Parnography, a documentary about Estonian animator Pritt Parn and his contemparies. It repeats later in the week.
The documentary airs with
Drawing Lessons and
Histoires Mysterieuses d'Aujourd'hui, a collection of six Japanese tales of horror and does not have the typical hallmarks of mainstream Japanese animation. Both sound utterly fascinating.
