On Wednesday, April 18th at 6:30 p.m., the animation community will pay tribute to
Ryan Larkin, who left many—friends and strangers—heartbroken when word of his death from cancer occurred in mid-February. Just before his death, Larkin had begun animating again and had embarked on a project called
Spare Change (the producer still plans to
finish this film).
This event is graciously hosted by the Cinémathèque Québécoise with the collaboration of the National Film Board of Canada. The following films will be screened:
- excerpts from
Pin Screen, Norman McLaren, 1973
- excerpts from
Chez Schwartz, 2006 (documentary)
-
Alter Egos, 52 min (documentary on the making of
Ryan)

-
Cityscape, 1966

The evening promises many tributes from his friends and peers, including
