--------------------------------------

A leading pioneer in animation, Norman McLaren is the most honoured, innovative and influential filmmaker in the history of Canadian cinema. His playfully cerebral, stylistically adventurous and politically conscious films embraced a fusion of cinema, painting, music, dance, folk art and graphic design.

The first instalment in the Norman McLaren season, Music, Movement and Conflict will be introduced by Dr Terence Dobson, author of The Film Work of Norman McLaren on Monday 17 May at 6.30pm at Rialto cinema.

On Monday 24 May, the series will continue with McLaren the Innovator followed by McLaren Dazzlers on Monday 31 May.

Please note tickets are not available to individual screenings but a three film pass is available for $25.
