Dir: René Laloux
Premiere screening of the new restoration of one of the most quintessential cult classics of alternative animation.
An evil force begins to destroy the idyllic paradise of Gandahar, where the citizens are in perfect harmony with nature. This classic sci-fi animation is based on Jean-Pierre Andrevon’s 1969 novel “Les Hommes-machines contre Gandahar” (The Machine-Men versus Gandahar). Directed by René Laloux (famous for Fantastic Planet), it is renowned for its surreal, mind-bending imagery designed by famous comic-book artist Caza, and music by Academy award and Grammy winning composer Gabriel Yared. Gandahar is a visionary work of adult animated sci-fi that explores themes of genetic engineering, technological overreach, time travel, and environmentalism.
(78 Mins. French with Hebrew subtitles)
What makes Gandahar such a unique and fascinating film, even decades after its creation? Before the screening, Aviv Ziv – animator, director, artistic director of the Animix Festival, and lecturer in animation and post-production – will give a short talk, offering a glimpse into the psychedelic world of René Laloux, his extraordinary artistic language, and the connection between science fiction, philosophy, animation, and music.
Total duration approx. 105 mins
The screening is in collaboration with Institut français d’Israël.
For more music by Gabriel Yared, see “Betty Blue”.
