The Animated Imaginings of Richard Condie
* with a special introduction by Gene Walz
Saturday, April 18, 2009 - at 7 PM
at the Cinematheque; followed by a wine & chocolate reception
Presented with the generous sponsorship of:
This year, the Winnipeg Film Group's 35th anniversary, our Fundraising Gala honours the exceptional career of one of our founders - two-time Oscar® nominated animator Richard Condie.
“Richard Condie has a closet full of awards, plaques, and citations. The Big Snit is among the top fifty animated movies of all time - right up there with the classics by Disney, Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett and Tex Avery. His two nominations for Hollywood Oscars® for Best Animation (for The Big Snit and La Salla) entitle him to vote on the Academy Awards every year. In an age when the word "artist" is tossed around promiscuously, it's heartening to know that there is an animation artist from Winnipeg who has actually earned the title.“ (Gene Walz)
