the life of Ryan Larkin


created by Chris Landreth and was 2005 OSCARS for Best Short Animation

Ryan Larkin was everything to animation. he was an artist, and sculptor who rose to fame. As a teenager, Ryan Larkin studied at the Art School of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts under the tutelage of Arthur Lismer, and clearly showed sharp talent for character and figure drawing. In the early 1960s, he was hired by the National Film Board of Canada, and was immediately recognized by NFB's Norman McLaren as one of the brightest new artists in that organization. Norman personally took Ryan on as a protégé; and gave him the resources to create two animated short films: Citérama (1966) ("Cityscape") in 1963 and Syrinx (1965) in 1964. The latter film won worldwide recognition and propelled Ryan to even more ambitious projects.

He was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. He was given write-ups in Time Magazine and called the "Frank Zappa or George Harrison of Animation"

BLACK HISTORY : HUNGU





HUNGU :
The hungu is an African musical instrument, ancestor of the Brazilian berimbau. Its origins are carried on in an ancient tradition. Inspired by the grace and raw beauty of African rock paintings, Nicolas Brault applies his narrative gifts to a world where humans and nature are subtly linked.

Under the African sun, a child walks in the desert with his kin. Death is prowling, but a mother's soul resurrected by music will return strength and life to the child when he becomes a man.

The filmmaker combines 2D animation on a graphics tablet with the warmth of sand animation, thus uniting modernity and tradition, Brazil and Africa, music and memory. Sparse in design and humanist in its outlook, Hungu exudes the elegance and suggestive power of a timeless story.
