Hear from animation VIPs who have made names for themselves through their careers, hits and visions, like:

Belson-Coleman

Masterclass

Men of many talents, filmmakers Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski are also animators, sculptors, collagists, screenwriters, actors and artistic directors. In 1997, they founded Clyde Henry Productions in Montreal, a company specialised in multimedia, stop-motion animation and visual effects. The pair has earned praise for their award-winning work, which includes shorts, illustrations, music videos, ads and the cult comic strip The Untold Tales of Yuri Gagarin, published in VICE magazine.

They received an Oscar nomination for their short film Madame Tutli-Putli (NFB 2007). In 2010 they wrote and co-directed Higglety Pigglety Pop! or There Must Be More to Life (Warner Bros, NFB) a Maurice Sendak adaptation featuring the voice of Meryl Streep.
Their latest film, Cochemare (PHI Films, 2013) received the award for Best Experimental Short Film at the Guanajuato International Film Festival.

A Masterclass from this duo is sure to be an extraordinary experience!
