JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX

JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX

SONG OF THE SEA is Beautiful Harmony

SONG OF THE SEA reminds us of the power of simplicity in storytelling and in animation.  Hand-drawn and steeped in Irish folklore, it is a profoundly moving experience rife with charm, wisdom, and beauty.  Told from a child’s perspective, the magical and the mundane coalesce in perfect harmony, revealing the one in the other in… Read More »
