I want to see this pretty badly, a long time coming documentary about Richard Williams‘ great unfinished masterpiece of animation, ‘The Cobbler and The Thief’. Looks like it’s finally finished (the doc, not the original film) and showing from next month at selected film festivals. Here’s the trailer and some clips, watching these fills me with a yearning for something that I know deep down will never be finished, the clips are so tantalising though. I first heard about this back in the 80’s and it has since passed into film legend, the story is a long and tragic one which wrote about before here.
Yeah, one’s happening in Leeds. Also Denver and New York City. More info here: https://www.facebook.com/PersistenceOfVisionOfficialDocumentaryPage
will do, I think there might be one in Leeds but no London date yet
I have to see this. If you know of a screening in London then do tell.
Thanks for the hip-to, kev… awesome stuff
