“To try to express realistic human behavior in animation has limitations. Such attempts in serious animation are often absurdly ridiculous. Why would one imitate reality? Just leave it to living actors! Earthbound reality is not for animation. Animation is a stylized, fantastic world.”

    THE SON OF THE WHITE MARE

    MARCELL JANKOVICS Hungary, 1981

    Marcel Jankovics’s stone-cold classic is an extraordinarily epic fantasy quest about the fight between good and evil. His second feature and his most successful internationally, this animated fantasia was subject to a glittering 4K restoration, and is presented here in all its sinuous, equine glory.

    JOHNNY CORNCOB

    MARCELL JANKOVICS Hungary, 1973

    Marcell Jankovics was influenced by the Beatles’ psychedelic musical Yellow Submarine and oh, it shows! Hungary’s first animated feature, this acid-tinged phantasmagoria is both of its time and completely transcends it: a kaleidoscopic epic poem steeped in the language of myth and dreams.
