Canadian animator Cordell Barker has wrapped up his latest animated project – Runaway. The project is set to music by Ben Charest, who composed the score for The Triplets of Belleville. This is Barker’s 3rd NFB-sponsored film. The first was The Cat Came Back in 1988, and then in 2001 he released Strange Invaders, which landed many awards including Special Jury Mention at Annecy. While we await the summertime web release of the full film, here’s a trailer for Runaway, which Barker describes as a metephor of a society sleepwalking through their own destruction.
And here’s a 3-minute Making Of presentation that features an interview with Barker.
We’ll keep you updated when this film is available on the web in its entirety.
