In the latest episode of our new Skwigly podcast/video series Animation One-To-Ones Laura-Beth meets Mike Rianda, writer/director of the new Netflix film The Mitchells vs. The Machines. If it hasn't come across your radar yet I'd recommend this as definitely being among the better animated features of the year. You can download the podcast here or watch below:
If you haven't caught the previous episodes of Animation One-To-Ones be sure to take a peek at Steve's interviews with Erick Oh and BAFTA-winner Maryam Mohajer. There's a bunch more to come so why not go ahead and subscribe to our YouTube channel to not miss out.
Some festival news - as hoped, Montreal's Sommets du Cinéma d'Animation will be holding physical screenings for their online 2020 programme (that included Speed) now that restrictions are easing off over there. The film remains part of the International Competition of Very Short Films screening that takes place at 7pm on Monday May 17th and then again at 7pm on Sunday May 23rd. As there is limited capacity both screenings will take place simultaneously in the Salle de projection principale and Salle Fernand-Seguin at the Cinémathèque québécoise.
Lastly the Brazilian preschool series Lendas Animadas on which Laura-Beth and I animated is going to be broadcast as part of ANIMAÍ on the Brazilian channel VRT from tomorrow (May 1st) 1pm. Four episodes will be viewable internationally until May 8th via Nordestina Play including Laura-Beth's Iemanjá - A Rainha do Mar and two I worked on - Maní - A Lenda da Mandioca and O Jabuti e a Fruta. There's no English language translation as far as I can tell so be sure to brush up on your Portuguese.
